Reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd get out of bed with my blanket and camp out over one of the hot air vents in the floor.

I'm already at 3 layers, including fleece and a hoodie!
I think this may simply be a case of people having different thermostats. I know I tend to get cold before most other people.
Maybe I need to put some insulation on ME. Should have eaten more over Christmas!
By the way: I have since confirmed there is NO insulation in the walls of this old house.
Also, and this is a good one: there's nobody in the apartment downstairs, so the heat is off. My same-floor neighbour tells me that when the downstairs heat is on, you can feel it in the floor. Should help cut down my energy use "sharing" theirs. Hopefully we'll have a new (quiet
) neighbour next month.
