But will I “feel the benefit” ?

My granny used to believe firmly in always taking coats and jackets off the second one came indoors and not putting the extra layers on until actually going outside because we “would not feel the benefit”
Problem, it’s flippin freezing this morning so - do I put on a “proper “ Winter woolly as my instinct tells me to do, or should I struggle on with perhaps a T shirt under a lighter jumper or fleece , leaving the “big guns” for when the temperature is truly in single figures? Will I still “feel the benefit” ?
Oh first world problems. hmm

At this time of the year I can't wait to get my electric blanket on for an hour when I go to bed. Once I am warm I stay warm all night. LOVELY

Looking for my vests and long johns - thermal. Where did I put my arm warmers? Actually looked at the calendar to see how many weeks until Spring

win

The house is colder than outside at times, so I have the heating on, but I also have a vest, fleece sweater and fleece jacket on indoors I have my padded thick jacket on outside and have bin snug but certainly not overdressed. The wind is bitterly cold, but sun is beautifully warm when it does come out. I have several illnesses and just cannot be cold, it tenses me up all over and makes the pain so much worse. I would rather go without food and everything else but heat. Our blood get thinner as we get older so we feel the cold so much more.

May I suggest some thermal long Johns and vests, they really make a difference, also arm warmers, I make mine from old socks but you can buy them. I have seen knitting patterns for them too.

Early today I felt the benefit of heavier down gilet. By afternoon walk I hope to not need down at all, chilly day.
