I'm freezing

[Ghostlyglow]

How are you staying warm if WFH? Currently have blanket over my knees (wearing leggings) top half:t shirt, denim shirt, thick hoodie, fingerless gloves, scarf and woolly hat! DP won't countenance heating on through the day yet and I don't think I can confortably wear any more clothes!

Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

I find leggings absolutely terrible for keeping me warm. I think you need more on your bottom half

Why is it his decision? I can’t imagine wearing a hat and gloves in my own home ans would imagine that situation only occurs when you can’t afford to heat your home and are in poverty.

If this is you can’t afford to heat it that’s one thing, but if this is he’s just an arse then put the heating on for goodness sake.

Yeah, leggings aren't enough. Get yourself some thermals - long legs, long sleeves - and add them to everything else. They're nice and thin but make a huge difference.

It would help if you didn't live with a fxxcking knob!

I've worked at home happily since the start of covid. With the heating on whenever I want.

Light some candles, warms the room up

Hot water bottle under your feet or on your lap.

I've invested in a portable radiator.

It means I can heat up the room I'm in without putting the heating on.

If I was cold enough for a scarf, gloves and a hat then the heating would be on though!!!

Turn the heat on.

I’m just like you, but I’ve been putting the heating on for an hour in the morning or when it’s freezing to take the chill off. You’re saving money wfh etc so stuff him put the heating on

Is DP also working from home? What is s/he wearing?
If DP is not at home, but in a warm office or other workplace, then DP gets little say.
If TP is at home wearing a T shirt and shorts, you need a further chat about incompatible body temperatures.

Just turn the heating on

Buy an electric throw. Lakeland sell nice ones. Place it where you sit, mines on the sofa. Sit on it rather than having it over you. It is amazing! Like having a heated seat in a car.

I find just putting the heating on for an hour at the beginning of the day and then turning off helps so much - when you allow yourself to get cold it's so much harder to warm up later on.

Why is it your husband decision?

I had stupid night storage heaters that were cold by the time I got home from work so I used to sit in a sleeping bag up to my middle over jogging bottoms and slippers. I then would layer several thin tops under a hoodie. I would wear fingerless gloves and a woolly hat. What I also found helpful was getting up and walking round every half hour or so. Getting a hot drink, going to the loo and fighting my way out and in the sleeping bag warmed me up.

Why have I never heard of electric throws?! That sounds like a plan.

This is mine. I have not needed to turn heating on yet.

Thanks @OverTheRainbowLiesOz

just turn the heating on!

I've got the ironing board out as a standing desk and currently working in front of a fabulous roaring fire. 🔥

Wear one of those thick robes that are long and wear your hoody inside. Also, if you have tracksuit bottoms, wear that instead of your leggings as they won't keep you warm. You can also wear those woolly socks and nice slippers, you won't need the heating on until it's Baltic outside.

I wouldn't be told I couldn't have the heating on in my own home. Fuck that shit.

ive just invested in a heated throw. It's amazing!

why does"d"p get a say in that?

but anyway, I am in a drafty attic office and have a scarf, pashmina round the shoulders, thick wool blanket on my lap and a hot water bottle on my feet.
