What temperature is it inside/outside your home?

noonesperfect

Today it's 11 outside (4pm) and between 14-17C inside. I don't sit about long enough to get cold. It's only when the temperature drops near freezing outdoors that I feel the cold!!
I can't bear being too hot, 20 -23 indoors and I'd be in a bikini (I really don't have the figure tho :eek: )

mine is at between 18- 20, cant manage if its any colder, all last week it was between -3 and -8 outside, felt very toasty inside though:D

MATH

I cannot stand being cold hence our heating is set at 18c mornings and boosted to 20c for the evening. The house is allowed to cool while we are asleep and at work and there are areas of the house we do keep cooler than this by using rad stats.

We heat mostly with wood - an open fireplace in the kitchen and a wood stove in the living area, so no thermostats guaranteeing a certain temperature. It is OH's job to light the fires in the morning, and I won't come out of bed until they have been going for a little while! Interestingly enough we seem to be quite comfortable when the thermometer in the living room shows 17°C, and anything more than that feels wonderfully toasty. The kitchen is always a nice place to be because there is often cooking going on adding to the heat from the fireplace. But we do wear warm clothes in winter, and being active (running around doing chores for example) helps a lot. Our luxury: the electric underblanket in the bedroom.

ditto,though OH usually boosts it - while wearing a t-shirt! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm with Powergen for gas/electricity and we were sent one of those cardboard room thermometers from them. It recommends 16-21 degrees as being 'Ideal'. My living room has one of those wall mounted thermostats so is easily set to whatever you find comfortable - however it's 'open plan' so we find that when the front-door is opened the room cools very quickly. The remaining rads have individual controls on them - which we usually have set at 2 for kitchen, downstairs loo, kitchen and bedroom (unused rooms are on * setting). The c/h timer comes on at 7.00am till 9.00am and then 7.00pm till 11.00pm. If the temp really drops during the day, I will override the timer from around mid-afternoon. Have to admit to over-riding it on Boxing Day and then having to turn it off again as the house was FULL of people and it became unbearable (11 adults and 6 children!).

We rent a flat and out boiler seems a bit weird to me, I have always lived in a place where somewhere about the house there is a dial where you can set the temperature, and below that the heating will come on, well lived here nearly a year and have never found that dial!! So the heating is on from 6am-8am in the morning and 8pm-10pm in the evening in the winter, with heating on it is about 18-18.5 degrees.

Years ago room temperature was classed at 25 degrees centigrade. Now they say that the ideal room temperature should be 21 degrees cent. I really do feel the cold and would be happy to have it on day and night, but OH moans that he gets too hot.

Is it just me who gets this cold as I only know one other person who felt like this. If I sit for a time my feet are freezing (they are like blocks of ice anyway) and my hands don't fare any better. I always have the bathroom heating on when taking a shower. I've always been like this and it's only gonna get worse the older I get. I'm 40 btw but have no medical problems.

Thank you Kim! I was thinking it was just me! I have to sleep with my electric blanket on all night too and yes when I get cold I feel really miserable too.
