    Hi Guys, first post in Old Style so please be gentle! :D

    One of my dear friends was given one of those wheat bags that you microwave and use like a hot water bottle for Christmas. The problem is that it is very strongly scented with Lavender - which she hates. (Not gifted by me for the record....)

    Is it possible to just take a fabric bag and stuff it with a similar amount of wheat, zap it and stick it in the cover or is the wheat likely to need some kind of treatment to stop it swelling up/cooking/popping in the microwave?

    Thanks in advance.
    Proud of who, and what, I am. :female::male:

    Welcome :T Yes you can do that; AFAIK, the wheat doesn;t need treating in any way.

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existign thread to g8ive you more ideas.
