Freezing Winter

Back in winter 2008/2009, I was still in tropical Palachova although outside were piles of snow and temperature averaging -10 degrees. I need no socks and sweaters to keep me warm because we had the heaters full blast and we didnt have to pay extra for it.

But continuing with the habit when we moved into private apartment is a huga mistake. and it took us years and thousands of crowns before we learned our lesson.
That it is always ok to return to a freezing home. turn the heater on few hours before you sleep and still don't put it on full blast.
Ask the landlord to seal any gap. the gaps are point of entry of cruel wind and decrease the efficiency of house heating. The cost is not your problem. it's the landlord problem.
it's cheaper to be decked in socks and sweaters/jumpers. unless you don't mind paying an arm for the luxury to go around your house sporting spaghetti top and shorts in the winter.
it's ok to have very warm bath (because I always wash once a day in winter and that's it)but it's always better to do dishes using lukewarm water. don't keep the water running all the time. scrub all in one go and wash all in another go.
on top of all these, make yourself warm. drink hot cocoa and tea or coffee.whatever you like.

Be smart and be warm.
And all I wish is a snowy winter. at least it compensates the bitterness of the cold.
