My boyfriend complains that things are too hot as it is. I seriously doubt he'd go for plugging in a space heater. Obviously, the extra flex watt would be the easiest and sure-est answer, but I dont have that kind of money right now. I was hoping there would be a more desirable home-made solution.

and thats a good point about the blanket. It didnt even cross my mind. I guess I can have my socks back now. -lol-
