Microwave Heat Pads

Argos sells a "Fleece Wheat Warmer" for £8. You heat them in the microwave and then they are supposed to help with aches and pains.
Touch wood, I don't have too many aches and pains yet, but does anyone use these as a simple way of keeping the chill off during this cold spell? It would certainly be cheaper than running the electric fan heater.
Product description is:
"This microwaveable heatpack helps you relieve aches and pains with treated wheat grains and dried lavender flowers. The natural herbal heatpack is 100% natural and contains no drugs or chemicals. Its treated wheat grains and dried lavender flowers act as a relaxer and can give you many hours of relief."

The smell when heated is a bit like a bakery on a summer day. Ours don't have lavender in them (might be why they are cheaper and frankly I'd have paid more as I love lavender) but are great, much easier than a hot water bottle and keep the heat for quite a long time. Do make sure you occasionally put a glass of water in the microwave with them as the moisture helps them retain the heat.

Maybe look at a heat pad or Mrs swears by a heated fleece to keep warm. Very cheap to run.
