I’ve been using my space heater, concerned about the bill coming. my throat is scratchy from using the heater. I was thinking about putting a second pair of socks on to help.

    Using a good blanket will often help more than layering up. The idea I believe being that the heat from your torso warms up your extremities, whereas extremities aren’t as good in comparison at heating themselves, when compartmentalized.

    I have my blanket on me. I put on a second pair of socks and think it helped. But my nose is also cold.

    FYI, we had flu b come through our house. Most only symptom was fever. People kept saying they were cold.

    Weather says you have been having temps in the 40s and 50s. Sweats, hoodies, slippers, etc if you aren’t used to this weather. This same weather here is unseasonably warm, and people are walking around anywhere between heavy coats and sleeveless shirts/shorts.

      I got myself an electric blanket today! I think I’m going to start saving a lot of money not using this space heater!
