Hot Water Bottle Stopper

Hi,

Any ideas where I can get a spare hot water bottle stopper? The rubber on the existing one is starting to perish and it's only a matter of time before DW tells me her 'Shaun the sheep' hot water bottle is leaking!

Would like to replace it (the stopper that is!) before my life becomes miserable due to chronic nagging etc.... :p
Regards, Robin.

    Hopefully the Shaun the Sheep part is a removable cover.

    If you can find a good old-fashioned hardware shop somewhere and then show the stopper to the person behind the counter they will very probably be able to lay their hands on a new rubber washer for it.

    Try Poundland or B&M - they sell hot water bottles and you can just use the stopper!

    Thanks everyone, yes Shaun is removable from the cover so will look to get a cheap rubber bottle replacement!
