To think 20 degrees is not ‘like an oven’?

[TimeAtTheBar]

It was c16 degrees in the front room this morning so I ‘boosted’ the heating for 15 mins to 20 degrees. The front room keeps it’s heat in very well with the doors shut so it only needed a boost.

DH has walked in the room and declared it is like an oven, he’s too hot, I’m wasting good money, it’s still only September and ‘we’ decided not to put the heating on until November at least (‘we’ decided no such thing).

AIBU to think that 20 degrees is a perfectly normal ambient temperature to be comfortable in my own front room? I’m recovering from flu and resting on doctors orders so I’m not moving around much, I have a jumper, fluffy socks and a blanket and I’m quite cosy thank you very much.

I won’t mention the fact that he walked out leaving the door open. I might boost the heating again just to spite him.

20 is low threshold of OK for me (during the day). It's not like "in the oven" or "boiling hot".

Not everyone has central heating or heating that runs on gas. My last flat only had electric radiators which had to be manually turned on and off in each room, it was a pain in the arse.

20 is definitely not like an oven.
It's a pretty normal room temperature.
I feel too cold at anything below 18 even with several layers on, but I know other people who are perfectly happy at that temperature.
