Is this even practical?

I'm a Sahm in a 4 bedroom semi detached house: it's pretty big I guess and it has high ceilings

In the day I'll be here alone or with my baby who is 6 months old this mont. my husband and the others will be out.

What is a practical way to stay warm? Should I heat just say my living room and the babies room and then use a heated throw for when I sit down? Or do I keep the whole house low level warm all day then turn it up when everyone coming back?

I don't want to waste money on the heating Just for myself

It's not been something I've worried about before I've got health conditions and my body aches if I get cold. I've always had the house at about 22 degrees even in the summer the heating comes on. But now with the cost of living crisis im getting a bit worried

What shall I do? Throw? Is that a crazy idea? Fan heater is not a cheap way to heat is it? Won't keep me warm either when I turn it off will it?

Thermal layers

Merino wool base layers . Top and leggings

Then a fleece layer over the top
Wool socks

That's what I'll be doing
