Question: Wheat bags which can be heated in the microwave and strapped around aching arms sound like a good idea (beats balancing the hot water bottle while typing!). Can anyone let me know where they can be bought please?

Answer 1: Hope – I bought mine at a shop called Sylvester’s’ in Oxford. I know that similar things can be bought elsewhere coz I read something recently but don’t remember…maybe it was in a Sunday supplement last week. I’ll look around at home and if I find anything I’ll let you know.

Answer 2: I have one of these wheat bag things, and find it especially good for my shoulders/neck, because unlike a hot water bottle it moulds to fit you
