[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 614309, member: 84"] If you can afford it, put up plastic on those drafty windows. Walmart also sells blackout curtains for around 10.00 that keep out both heat and cold amazingly well. I bet if you could manage a combination you'd be toasty. Last year dollar tree sold long johns for infant/toddler.....yes, for a buck. Look online to see if they still stock them. Or you can do what I used to do in drafty apartments.......little ones who could still fit blanket sleepers wore 2 each with a tee shirt and socks under them. If I couldn't find thermal underwear for older kids, they would wear their flannet pjs under their clothes. Works just as well. Those microfiber blankets will keep everyone toasty warm. My bedroom is unheated. I have flannel sheets, 2 thermal blankets, the comforter, microfiber blanket and a pendleton wool blanket. If it's not cold enough the pendleton has got to go or I start sweating. Even if it is below 20 degrees out I sometimes sweat and have to peel off blankets. I've gotten so used to 66 degrees or lower during the day that anything above that makes me hot. At night I put it down to 58. I'd go lower but kitchen pipes are on an outside wall and I want to make sure they don't freeze. I can't afford a plumber. Travis and I each have thermal underwear and use them as needed. I avoid jeans unless leaving the house. At home I am dressed in heavy sweats and microfiber slippers. If my hands get cold........and sometimes they do, I use the microfiber gloves I picked up at dollar tree. I'm glad you were able to find out the issue. brrrrrrrr!!! ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
