What do you think happens to the mouse after you release it into the wild?

My house was cold as gently caress this morning. I'm sitting with a heated pad behind me and a sleevy blanket over me and I am comfy as hell. Not sure it'll hold up once the temp plunges but I can add layers. We're thinking we'll run the heat down at like 15C or something and then layer up. My mum is a disabled pensioner and I'm going to be keeping a sharp eye on her. If she starts suffering from the chilliness I'm going to turn the heat up and tell the energy companies to gently caress right off, I suppose.

Yeah mine too. I'm kinda thinking of rehoming my cats, it's not fair to them if I have them live in a cold house this winter. That would be a last resort though. They'll probably just rehome themselves anyway they know the neighbours better than I do.

I'm gonna have a 1 year old come winter this year. I dunno if layering up is an option for us as I need to keep the room temp regulated.

I was thinking of getting some smart TRVs to better manage the heating through winter.

My kid goes into nursery in Jan, and my wife goes back to working in the spare room for most of the day. I figure with smart TRVs we can basically just heat up the two rooms we're in periodically throughout the day, the whole house in the evening and then his room through the night.

That being said, the cost of the TRVs probably outweighs the bills that we'd get from having the heating on normally.

Hi there.
If you let your room temperature drop below 16°C make sure it's not too humid because else you're creating optimal conditions for mold growth.

High humidity in winter can be dealt with by airing out the room occasionally, doesn’t require spending money. As long as the outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature, that is.

Of course airing out when it's cold out is gonna be increasingly expensive.

A minute or two is enough to lower humidity without lowering temperature. Most of the heat energy in a room is in the walls and furniture while the humidity is in the air.

Just a short moment until the air feels fresh. You want to exchange a large amount of air in a short amount of time so ideally you open multiple windows at once to create a draught and then you make sure everything is tightly closed again.

Just a few minutes. You're trying to change the moisture content of the air, not the temperature of the room. It's even more important to do it if you're drying clothes in the house.

Unfortunately a lot of people have had the same idea and rescues are struggling. If it's not an emergency - i.e. you are homeless - they might refuse take them. The cost of living crisis means fewer people are applying to adopt.

Your cats are wearing fur coats and will not feel the cold as much as you will.

I used to live in a tenement flat in Edinburgh, which we were too poor to heat, and my two cats were absolutely fine over winter, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Cats have survived millions of years without central heating yes, but this generation of cats understand that there are houses that are perfectly warm and houses that are cold. I've already have problems with an old lady neighbour who would feed my cats fresh salmon and tinned tuna to try to steal them, at least they stuck with me through that.

Btw the police literally laughed me off about that. Apparently Cats are "property" and I need to "secure" them.

Yeah, it's a civil matter. A neighbour took her cat to the vet and at first the vet wouldn't give it back because someone else had microchipped it. Fortunately it never escalated to a legal case but that would have been the only option for redress.
