We decided to make a change in the house. We are doing it the wrong way but for now it’s the better choice.
We have 1 suite and 2 rooms in the house. The suite is ours and one room for each kid nothing strange here. We have central heating provided by heaters on the walls all over the house that works through gas supply. We have all the conditions to have a warm house during winter and the kids have their own space as well as we have.
The problem is: gas is very expensive and we cannot afford to turn on the heating system. We manage to warm up the house by lighting up the fireplace in the living room and one electric oil heater in each room. Although electricity is cheaper than gas, the price has been rising and paying for 3 heaters all night connected will be a heavy bill for us.
What my DH just did was, move my son’s bed from his room to our dressing room and now we are all in the suite. We stay in the master room and my son and daughter sleep in the dressing room on my son’s bed. This allows us to have only one electric oil heater turned on instead of three. With this, we hope to save some money.
I know this is not a good choice especially for the kids that are going to get used to sleep on the same space we do (although we are separated by one wall we are connected by an opening between the two rooms) but for now and during winter and these freezing nights it’s the best choice we have to save money and help us with our monthly bills.
