If I didn’t have two kids to keep warm I think me and my partner would probably have been in that number. It’s not fun, but we can spend the time where we’re not at work in massive dressing gowns and giant warm socks to keep the heat at bay.
Not possible when you’ve got a baby and a 4 year old though.
I bought oodies for the whole family, paid for themselves in a couple of weeks. I had to figure out where the mold point was with the heating (too cold and you get mold) so we still had it on, but it was 3 degrees lower on the thermostat than the previous year. Not everyone can do it, for sure.
At one point I was wearing an oodie under a dryrobe.
Toasty core. Chilly toes.
I lived with a lad last winter who said he never switches the heating on. I went back to pick up some stuff just after I moved out and it was 3 degrees inside the bedroom… No thanks. The government is completely failing people like him.
