House temp in winter??

[carole]

I have never taken the temp of my house in the winter, but i like to be warm, with all my aches and pains, it is a necessity really, i like feeling cosy and not having to wear heaps of layers of clothing as i find that uncomfortable, i think if it were me i would make the place a bit warmer when your parents visit and wear less clothing myself, i hate my guests to feel uncomfortable and as you get older you do seem to feel the cold more,it would be more pleasant for them, it puts me off visiting people when i feel cold,but if i know there house if going to be cooler than mine , then i will wear warmer clothing,your parents could do that too and probably do, but when you are elderly it is hard to retain the body heat.

We don't even have a thermostat! When we're hot we use fans and when we're cold we use portable heaters. I love being cold. I can go out in 50 degree weather without a jacket and be fine. It's the heat I can't stand so I rarely use a heater. But in the summer you can find me sitting in front of a fan or stuck off in the living room with the air conditioner all the way up.

Wait.. so you have no heat in your house at all??? No electric, no oil, no gas, nothing??

I like it much warmer than my hubby does. In the winter I would prefer the thermostat at 72 but we live with 70 during the day. At night it is on a setback temp of 65, and I don't mind that except if I have to get up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom. I make that trip quick!

We have portable heaters in every room. They actually do a good job since our house is so small.
