Step 1: Ten minutes before you want to shower, move a portable radiator into the bathroom, turn it on, close the door behind you.
Step 2: Do jumping jacks or pushups or run in place for ten minutes to attempt to get hot/sweaty.
Step 3: Go back to bathroom, turn on water all the way to hot and let it try to get warm.
Step 4: Take off all four layers of clothes and put towel in a place easily reached from shower, preferably without opening door/curtain. All while water is running.
Step 5: Water is probably warming up. Enter shower, check to be sure, and start showering.
Step 6 (optional): If you are crazy like me and still concerned about saving water, crouch down when the water is off to conserve body heat.
Step 7: Grab towel without opening shower curtain/door and losing the beautiful warmth. Dry off as much as possible in shower without getting towel all wet.
Step 8: Jump out, throw jeans onto radiator for the 30 seconds it takes to get on other clothes.
Step 9: Put on jeans, turn off and unplug radiator. Close the door behind you in the hope of keeping some of the warmth.

Have you seen the flower pot heater video? 4 tea light candles last 4 hours, loaf pan to hold candles, small flower pot upside down with hole in bottom covered, then large flower pot inverted over it with hole left open. Convection moves the heat and he sez it is surprising how well it heats a small space for 8 pence a day (15 cents).http://www.realfarmacy.com/how-to-heat-your-room-for-15-cents-a-day/
ReplyDeleteThanks, but did you miss the radiator part? :)
Deleteyou are so cute, I just thought it might be more adventuresome, and much less expensive, to heat with a candle heater. I can't try it with my room mate but you might be able to with Yours. ;-Þ xoxoxox
