you do the household chores you have been lazily putting off simply because doing them will heat the house!
So far I have washed 2 loads of white laundry on HOT, dried them using our electric dryer with the vent venting INSIDE, and started the dishwasher. I'm thinking I should also make some soup stock, too... just to have on hand. That will warm the house up.
Have I turned the head above 54? No... I'm too cheap. I'm not touching that thermostat!

Wow, 54 degrees? I'm impressed. The lowest I ever set ours for any length of time was 57 degrees. I do chores for the same reason. And, the act of physically doing the chores warms me up too. I also like the layering method: two pairs of socks and house shoes, pants, three t-shirts, a sweat-shirt, and, on occasion, a coat.
I feel you. We leave the thermostat at 60 because there's no point in turning it up until we get our old leaky single pane windows replaced!
John~ Isn't layering great? My husband laughs at me for wearing a coat in the house... but it keeps me warm. It's only 54 at night and when we are SUPPOSED to be gone... but when I am home during the "gone" time, I try not to raise it. It's at 62 the rest of the time.
Deniset~ It's scary when you can feel the temperature drop when you walk by a window!
