Baby its cold outside...

[russell]

I am freezing today -cant get warm and I am not normally a 'cold' person.

With central heating is it better to leave your thermostat on at a set temp (15-20 degrees?) and just let your heating kick in when it goes under that temp...
or should you have it programmed to come on at set times?

What do you do?

 

[chipper]

turn it on when we get cold pre sets of 1-3 hours at a time

 

[Gwadien]

Have a wank,

Oh wait.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Wine helps

Umm, blanket? I dunno, heating is done with radiators in Finland and it's nice and t-shirty inside all round year.

 

[russell]

Wine does help -but i'm all out of it and its only 16.15 here

Have got a new brushed cotton duvet set and fleecy cardi -just curious what most people do with their central heating...

I stick a hoodie on if feeling chilly. If cold, whack on the central heating 15-20, let the radiators get nice n hot, then when feeling too warm, turn it down or off. Wehave ours on timers in the winter, but we obviously override it when cold & stick it on constant.

Bake a cake - leave the oven door open, sit in the kitchen with gallons of tea & the TV /radio / good book. Eat cake.

Nah, much more interesting to talk about activities that keep you warm.

[russell]

Do housework. You'll be surprised how much warmer you feel by doing some hoovering, dusting, putting in / out a washing.

When it gets very cold, I usually wear a thermal vest / long johns under my normal clothes which stops me feeling cold.

 

[russell]

date and walnut or victorian sponge?

 

[Lamp]

got to have nuts in it

now just imagine - Christmas time - dark outside, starting to snow, fairy lights up, cake baking in the oven, ahhh!

I tell customers at work to set there thermostat to around 10-15 and leave it on all the time (winter time) reason for this is it will use less fuel to go from 10-15 up to 15-20 when your cold than it world be if it was starting from say -1(or what ever the temp is) and going up to 15-20.

wow you do housework?

 

[old.user4556]

Yes, my girlfriend is lazy. It's the price I pay for having a girlfriend much younger and hotter than me.

 

[Billargh]

Get back to the kitchen, maybe make a man some food as well, the oven should warm the place up a bit.

 

[Fafnir]

Was 0.6 when i left for work this morning, the air felt nice and crisp. another few degrees lover and i have to take out my thicker jacket. Hope we get a cold winter like the last one...

well yes, I guess that is a fair price to pay.

Half of the battle is keeping your feet warm. If they feel warm often the rest of you will follow.

 

[Azurus]

The only sensible solution.
