@p3R1n01D Needs must, Mike! I'd prefer to set it higher but the cost of electricity & gas now is ridiculous. Just can't afford it. I keep one room warmish with clay pots and tea lights and stay mostly in that room. As long as I can avoid damp in the house, I can cope. It's a long and miserable time until Spring though!

Wow, that's a pretty modest setting! Gotta do what you've gotta do, though. A lot of people in the mountains around here keep their homes at about that.
We keep most of the house fairly cool, heating certain rooms individually. Dad's approaching 80, so he cranks it up a bit. 😉
I think keeping the temperature down is healthier for you. Not as much of a shock when you go outside, and you're already partly dressed for it!
