Freezing

I just want you to know it is freezing here! For a girl from Texas, a move to France is ummm......an adjustment in every aspect but this cold really bites. The sad truth is that our apartment seems to be colder than outside. I'm not sure if it was constructed to be a meat freezer but if so it serves it's function very well.

Any tips on how to warm up the place without using the horribly expensive electric heater..?
