To think that 17 degrees is not warm enough?

[Maybebaby10]

Staying with a family member who is refusing to agree that 17 degrees in a drafty living room is too cold!! I have a small child here with me and the said family member decided to sleep with the window open as they like the breeze. They also do not like to shut their bedroom doors so draft under our door into the ‘make shift’ bedroom all night. We are in England and it’s freezing at the moment. I am fuming and freezing but don’t want to ruin the day.

I just think people are used to having the heating on a lot now. Mine is set to 13 in the bathroom (breeze block extension) and that is enough to kick it on. I usually try not to due to heating costs but have lost fitness and sit around a lot. I hate being in places that are too hot. It makes me feel ill and you can't take enough things off to cool down again.
