Is it possible to be too tight!

  • Poor Budgie!
  • I think my house is probably colder than many people's,but I would rather put an extra layer of clothes on than turn the heating on.

    I live on my own and I really don't seem to feel the cold as much as other people,I think it is an age thing lol.I admit I don't put the heating on that much mainly because I am tight,but it is also an enviromental thing and I think that houses that are too hot are stuffy and unhealthy.

    I find that when I go to my son's to visit,their house has the heating blasting away 24 hours a day and it makes me feel ill,I have to keep going outside to cool off.I know there are 2 small children in the house,but my eldest grandson has always got a cold during the winter months and I am sure it is because the house is too hot.When they visit me,I feel obliged to have the heating on more,but as soon as they leave,off it goes.

    I grew up during the 50's and 60's in a freezing cold old farmhouse with no central heating so perhaps I am just hardier than a lot of folks.

    I know I am always pleased when my gas bill arrives and it is lower than I expected,so I am happy to be a bit chilly and just put an extra layer on.
