I keep the house heated way above what lots of people think necessary. When my family got all sane and lovely and reliable, we ALWAYS had heating - the house was kept up to 15C in winter!

I wash bedding weekly unless life intervenes, and I start to feel icky about day 4 or 5 of sleeping on the fresh sheets. When I was growing up, bedding wasn't washed even fortnightly - maybe monthly, maybe less. And when we were bedwetting the wet sheets sometimes were just allowed to dry.

And we're insanely rich by most people's standards, and I am still constantly worried about money.

OH HAI IT'S THE COMING OF THE DARK AND I AM GETTING MOAR DEPRESSED.

I set our thermostat to 19 degrees when we're in - and keep a blanket on the sofa and turn it up to 20 or higher if anyone is ill or just feeling cold. 15 degrees is our "off" setting overnight.

What's necessary for you and your family is not necessarily the same as what other think necessary.

Ditto. And we do wear sweaters indoors.
