Keeping/staying warm.

annsixty, I've done that (the dressing gown) for donkey's years, as it's a large house and I don't want to spend a fortune on heating. I have fluffy PJ bottoms on under my trackies, too - and if I get chilly, I'll wear a knitted hat. My ankles get cold, so I have slipper boots from Pavers.

AGAA4, I do think 15 degrees is just a little too cold. Mine is on 18 by day and 16 by night. As I have a chimney, I use a thick door curtain, across the sitting room door, to stop draughts. I can't keep it shut (the dog and cat object).

Slightly off point but please bear with me. Our new kitten has a microwaveable heat pad (Amazon) with a fabric cover under the cushion in her basket at night. It's still warm in the morning, while my hot water bottle is freezing cold. Am seriously thinking of getting me one too.

I only have the heating on at 15 degrees. It is very cold just now but I am cosy. I do wear a thermal vest and warm jumper. My a son tells me I should have the heating on higher but as I am managing I don't want big heating bills.
I am on LPG which is very expensive.

Hot water bottle. Now using two hot water bottles. And a Whippet who is the best hot water bottle ever. And my fleecy hat which has to be surgically removed at the end of winter.

We’ve not needed our heating on yet annsixty. It’s an incredibly well insulated new build apartment with south facing patio door and windows in the main room. I’m a wuss and do feel the cold but I’m toasty - and on days like today with no sun I just wear my nice soft thick cardigan.

For the first time this winter I'm wearing a pair of long johns underneath my trackie bottoms - yes, I know, chic it is not. I have been known to use the dressing gown if necessary and sometimes a hot water bottle.

I don't like to have the central heating on too hot. I put it on at around 19 degrees and then put it down to 17 which soon gets too warm for me. It's difficult to get it just right.

I use a heated throw over my legs when I'm watching Tv. It means that I can lower the Thermostat slightly and I don't need to use my gas fire as well as the Central heating.
My cat love lying on the Throw too so it's a win ,win situation!
She does grumble when I need to move to let me know how annoying I can be.

I wear a thick fleecy hoodie and thermal base layers when it’s very cold, as it affects my muscles. A warm dressing gown would do the job just as well though, so thanks for the tip!

Ive found my thermal top and footless leggings under my clothes is keeping me toasty today. Whatever it takes stay warm.
