Self isolating in the cold conservatory

[coldconservatory]

Hi all,

We have had covid recently and I need to self isolate before Christmas.

AIBU to think that I can sleep and work in the conservatory for the next two weeks so I can then visit my daughter for Christmas.

It's large and I already work in there everyday as working from home.

My partner and the children all go to school which is how we got covid in the first place.

There is a downstairs bathroom that I can use. I would only have to go upstairs to shower. Which I could possibly do every 3 days so or.

I'm the only one home during the day so I can make food, do washing etc after cleaning.

My main issue is that the conservatory is so, so cold! I usually wear several layers to work in there during the day.

I can bring a mattress down and we have lots of duvets and blankets I can use.

Need to possibly get gloves and a hat.

Any ideas of how else I can keep warm overnight please?

Just to say, I don't think you have lost the plot. I would totally do the same thing. I recommend some kind of exercise as the best way of staying warm. Good luck

Just rtft, your DD is working online from her grans house,why can’t she just come home now?
I’m mystified by the illogical way you are dealing with this.
You say you work with sensitive data.... in your conservatory 🤣 watch there’s no spies peeking in 🤣

Is this a plot work up for a new Stella Gibbons-esque novel? Cold Comfort Conservatory, subtitled, In the Time of Covid...

😂😂

Do you intend to self-isolate from now until Christmas (a month) because of the risk you will catch it? Unless I’m missing something, the 2 weeks is pointless as you could then still catch it after the 2 weeks.

You can get an electric oil filled radiator for under £100 which has a thermostat and timer. We use our conservatory every day as dining room but it can get cold after. Set thermostat low at night move up in day. Order now while all these Black Friday offers are on.

Have you decided to self isolate from your common sense?

This is all barking...

If your DD is at school/college she may still get Covid

You are not supposed to be hugging anyone out of your household, I believe
