How to make your home feel warmer (without turning up the heat)

[Finnie]

that makes sense for people who's feet don't sweat like mine do. i often have them sticking out the end of the blankets so they act like little radiators. i don't have tucked in sheets or blankets, i do not want my feet trapped when i'm sleeping.

I hear you on that! We don’t tuck ours in either. My feet are in and out of the blanket constantly. One at a time or both. One in and one out seems to work best.

But I was actually thinking of the clean sock thing as a way to keep floor lint off the sheets. Then I remembered the Girl Scout thing.

ah! yes, it would help, question is, can i change my ways?

i sometimes have one in and one out too. funny i'm sure if you're taking a movie all night. i know i wander around in my sleep sometimes.

haha! i'm remembering a miserable night i had camping but it is way OT for this thread...

Good question!

After years of having a “dirty sock box” in our mudroom to make things easier for the kids, DH decided to thin things out and remove the box. Since only 1 kid is left at home. Now I have to change my ways because I am conditioned to putting my dirty socks in there instead of waking all the way across the house to our regular dirty laundry spot. I don’t like the new routine. I guess after I’ve done it enough times it will get to be automatic.

Hahaha, feet under covers, feet out of the covers…
To keep my kids from getting out of bed after I put them to bed, I told them there were turtle heads under the bed. If they got up, the turtle heads would eat their toes off. I scarred them for life.

Did the same thing to oldest granddaughter. Now 15, she still sleeps with her toes covered.
