It feels colder because it's too expensive to run the heating

I bought myself a heated shoulder pad thingy from lidl, it's 100w on it's highest setting of 6 but I've not needed it higher than 1-2 so it's using way less than 100w currently, it makes a huge difference to how warm I am without the heating on. Highly recommended, if you don't have a lidl or an aldis you can get em on ebay.

I survived living one winter in an uninsulated room with single pane windows, where the wind from the icy waterfront could blow right up the street and hit my room. I sent away for ski pants, and I wore my coat and battery operated hunting socks while I was sitting at my desk using my laptop.

When the HEAT and power went out for the entire town for four days, I piled ALL my clothing onto the bed under my heavy quilt, and slept with a knitted cap on my head, and wore my hoodie and a coat to bed.

It’s so wrong we pay top prices yet oil and gas companies making record profits !!

It’s the same here…we only turn on the heater for an hour in the evening. Hot baths and wearing warm clothes helps.

To comfort myself, I think of all those families in Ukraine who are in worse conditions today. 😓

Same but because the building's heating system is f*cked for good here

Lowest *indoor* temp so far 🥴

Same here. Its frustrating. My back hurts from the cold . I have layers on but still. My hands are freezing lol
Ugh

Ahhh the fruits of representative democracy, power consolidation and greed.

Dark Winter

Nowadays I put warmer clothes. We’re conserving too bec of the whole Russian Ukraine war

I just heat a small part of the house I can't afford to heat this whole place it's not big but would still be very high in the cold months now and ahead, so.. stay warm

Not in our part of the country. November was one of the top 5 coldest since they started keeping records, and December is already staring out with a big freeze.

Gas and oil prices hit everyone hard in the cold months. I complain about infinitely running A/C down here, but my sister's output for oil is astonishing.

I can recommend a hooded blanket

No electric heat?

It will have a twofold effect. It's not just colder inside our homes but the outside atmosphere wil be colder because everyone is being more sparing and selective with their heating so less heat will be warming the outer environment.

You need one of these!! 24 outside 77 inside and the wood is free.

Electric blanket!

yup here in the usa its also costly.. i understand.. mark
