Yup, I used to use my bags as foot warmers when I was doing manuels.  Now I drain into the toilet so I dont use drain bags.  If you have a cat it sure doesnt take them long to realize that the bag on top of the machine is nice and warm.  It doesnt take the machine long to register the extra weight and scream it's freaking alarm at 3 in the morning!  Bad kitty!

THE DRAIN BAG  makes a fantastic foot warmer
Steve

Gotta agree with you there, Steve.  When I was doing manuals, I frequently rested my feet on the drain bag as it was so warm.  Just another example of how to make a good thing out of something not so good.
