Flannel is king!!
We got our gas bill yesterday and I almost got sick looking at it…it was $375 for last month. So this month, we have been very conservative in turning on the heat and stuff.
During the day (if we’re home), we put the thermostat at 65 degrees. We turn that down to 55 degrees when we go to bed. Upstairs bedroom is on at 61 degrees. All our 3 kids’ room have panel heaters which are mounted to the wall and kid friendly. You plug it into the wall socket, buy a timer so you can program it to go on and off at a certain time, and also how often you want the heat to go on. And their rooms are nice and toasty, and everyone has flannel sheets.
Our room is a bit colder at 61 degrees but w/flannel sheets, flannel pj, and with my husband (who’s hot in the sheet anyway, literally ladies ;-)), you get a really warm bed. Isn’t that funny when you first got married…you have on nice sexy lingerie, and nice satin or silk sheets…but after a few years of marriage and a few more kids…comfort is the key!! He’s lucky I don’t have socks or long john on.

As the significant other, let me confirm that I am “literally hot”.
It is amazing we used less gas than last year but the bill is still huge. Gas prices are way too high.
And um… lingerie - I don’t remember what that is.
