The great thing about all this sunny weather is that I can do the washing the night before, hang it out and it's dry by lunch time but it can also be a great way to break your budget. Here are 10 ways to keep your cool and some money in your pocket !
1) Open up the house early in the morning and late at night to let the cool air in and the hot air out.
2) Put jugs of water in the fridge to cool down, this is just as refreshing as bought fizzy drinks.
3) Cook early in the morning or late at night for the following day or plan cold meals.
4) Draw the curtains on the sunny side of the house.
5) Wear a wet cloth on your neck.
6) Wear a hat in the sun.
7) Put your feet in a basin of cold water.
8) Walk and exercise early in the morning or late at night.
9) Take a siesta in the middle of the day.
10) Read books set in the Arctic !
I love your last idea.
ReplyDeleteWe have all been so hot but the gardens are suffering most. At this moment it's a lovely temperature but for most of today records have been broken yet again. Our local forecast is very succinct,”There's just one word for it, sunny.”

Yes and set to stay like this for a while ! So plans need to be made, I've ordered a few more books with a polar setting !
