My Husband and I Are Always Falling Out Over the Heating — I Work From Home, so What's the Best Tactic to Keep Me From Feeling the Cold Without Running Up Energy Bills?

A dark blue drenched room with a wooden desk in the middle with drawers in between two chairs in the shape of an upside-down triangle with two fitted wardrobes either side of the desk and a large gold colored artwork hangs centrally above the desk which has a lamp and a vase of flowers on it as well as two books.

Genuinely, my husband and I fall out over the heating on a daily basis — specifically, my heating the whole house when I get cold during the day when I'm working from home (we do also argue over when to turn the heating on when I'm freezing and he's boiling, but that's a whole other dilemma!) — so what is best to do?

When it comes to arguments at home over heating, it seems we're not alone — according to a new nationwide survey conducted by heating specialist BestHeating, 64% of arguments during winter stem from heating-related issues, which doesn't surprise me at all. My husband continually tells me I need to get a portable heater for our study (and to be honest, I'm not sure why I haven't yet), but is this really the best choice?
