Keeping warm while WFH

[BloodyVarifocals]

Would love to hear how everyone else keeps warm while WFH - my house is relatively warm, but I tend to feel the cold.

Some of my favourite things:
Small plug in heated pad that I've strapped to my office chair
Ugg boots worn as slippers (have lasted for a few years so far)
Various neck warmers
M&S light heat tech vests and long sleeved tops to wear underneath woolly jumpers
Turtledove fingerless gloves

Small blanket for on my knee when I need it
Cheap leg warmers (Amazon)

I don't use all of these at once 😄. I've also just bought a Beurer plug in cushion for on the sofa, bliss.

What temperature is it set to? Are others at home all day, too?

Heated throw

@Moier, I grew up with a coal fire too! I was always bloody freezing back then too.

I have to find a balance between keeping warm and paying the bills, like I'm sure a lot of other people do too at the moment. I have a fine knit wool shawl which is extremely cosy, and some fingerless gloves because my hands do get cold when typing. I have a small electric oil filled radiator as well, which I pop on occasionally, because my office doesn't have carpet or a radiator at the moment.

Our house is freezing, often below 15C inside.
I wear an oodie when I occasionally WFH. Dh wfh most of the week and wears a very thick hoodie, thick joggers and slippers with a solid sole. He still sometimes complains it's too cold so we sometimes put a fan heater on which makes it toasty in there

Oh yes fingerless gloves are good too, I have a few pairs for if I'm really cold, from turtledoves

Honestly get another heated blanket it's way cheaper then putting the heating on I absolutely love mine and it's perfect time with black Friday!
Mine is a dreamland one and it keeps me very warm! I generally put it onto 4 for 3 hours in the morning.

If I wasn't working from home, I'd be commuting (where from £15-75 a day depending on reduce office I had to go to) and would likely buy lunch out. Staying toasty is cheap in comparison.

This is a great idea. I find that I can keep my top half warm enough, but my legs & feet get cold (despite trousers, thick socks & slippers). I’m going to try the sleeping bag! Thanks

I think I spent £5 on petrol per day when I commuted to work. There was an M&S on-site though...

Exercise in your breaks. Brisk walk outside, YouTube video or dance to a sing on the radio.

I turn the heating on....

I run a coworking space for people wfh and I put the heating on 30 degrees. Actual room temp ends up about 23-24.

It gets all the people in as we charge very low rates so it's cheaper than them putting their heating on at home. Also works out better for the environment.

I put the heating on when it goes below 19

Hot water bottle that straps on to you. Got mine from Home Bargains. Wear under jumpers!

Definitely covering the feet well makes a huge difference. And pop the hat off for meetings is all.

The sleeping bag to waist is genius. Why had I never thought of that!! Think my week just improved!!

I sit with my bottom half in a sleeping bag! Dead cosy

Ooh I see I am not the only one!

Thyroid meds and heatholder socks!

That temperature is too low, really. Isn't it suggested not to let it go below 18°c? Is it possible to get extra wfh hours so that you can pay for proper heating? It must be miserable.

That is genius!!

I don't want to heat the whole house if I'm wfh and the only one here, so I tend to use a heated throw and warm clothes, thick socks and slippers. My hands get so cold though, I really must invest in some decent fingerless gloves!

Also, my DH was here today while I was working, and turned the heating up to 20°, I actually got too warm! So I think I'll stick with keeping the heating off and using my heated throw.

I have a standing desk adjusting so I can get up and move around while working. I vacuum at lunchtime, that warms me up! I have a warm lunch like soup and hot drinks during the day. I generally wear nice and warm clothes like thermal socks, memory foam slippers, etc.

Thermal top and thermal leggings from Mountain Warehouse which I wear under normal clothing. On top I have a polo neck which keeps my neck covered. Legs covered by blanket. This is mostly enough.

Who else is at home? Can they go out?
