I’d love to turn mine down, I don’t like the bills (does anybody), but while I can still afford to, will be comfortable thanks.
I don’t feel chilly in the living room watching telly of an evening until it drops to 16 deg actual temp (assuming long sleeve base layer, standard Cotton T and winter weight cotton hoody/merino jumper), but unfortunately my Missus starts complaining at 19 deg wearing similar but with the addition of a quilted blanket, so although not exactly wondering around in T’s, we have a ‘happy medium’ of maintaining 18 deg.
Any of those out there set at 10deg do so for reasons other than poverty? i.e. you have supplemental heating, you don’t mind wearing 5 layers. Surely most people would feel more than chilly wearing 3 layers when they’re tired, sitting in front of telly and its 10pm and only 10-11 deg internally at night? what are your top tips?
