Aibu to think the threads on not heating your house due to the "I only sleep with a thin cotton sheet with my bedroom wide open and I'm still red hot in the middle of winter " is going the same way?

I'm in the midst of peri meno window wars with DH. I want all the windows open. Thin sheet. He doesn't. Nothing to do with the energy cost.

Will we still be able to afford to roast the said chicken?

In our air fryers, by candlelight!

Sadly I'm not sure that it will @Catch21. There's already someone on the how long can you go without vacuuming thread saying she'd rather 'sit in a cold house and never eat a warm meal again that cut down on the hoovering' .

Talk about warped priorities. See also those who use tumble dryers even when they can line dry and the weather is good.

But we're genuinely not cold at night without heating, have the window open most of the year and the thickest duvet we have is 4.5 tog in winter and 1 tog or an empty duvet cover in summer.

The 'I need the heating on all night and sleep in 2 pairs of fleece pyjamas under a 15 tog Hungarian goose down duvet' or else I'm cold crew bring me out in a sweat just thinking about it. I wouldn't need that amount of bedding if I slept out on the lawn in the middle of winter.

Is it an age thing? I used to sleep in thick PJs, a fleece dressing gown and fleecey socks for years. i was always freezing at night not just in winter. Now I sleep in a crop top and short PJs. Time of life - in-built central heating.

I do often think that it would just be ao much better to use more chicken in fewer dishes than 50g in many. You would get better protein from eggs in salads or stir-fry in this case.

Eh, that's a matter of opinion. Some of this is psychological. My kids would get sulky over a veg Bolognese but an enormous slowcooker pot filled with a massive amount of portions to freeze and only one pack of mince is fine. It doesn't matter so much to them if there's a lot of other stuff as long as I can demonstrate meat is in there somewhere.
