Hot Tip

When you arrive home on a chilly night and someone forgot to turn the electric blanket on try the hairdryer bed heater. Just go and find the hairdryer plug it and a switch it on then blow the air between the sheets. Very quickly the bed is warm, comfortable and fit for a sailor and his crew. Just don't lay the hairdryer in the bed and leave it, hold it all the time and make sure the air intake and outlet are not blocked.
