I've been using my space heater, concerned about the bill coming. my throat is scratchy from using the heater. I was thinking about putting a second pair of socks on to help.

Using a good blanket will often help more than layering up. The idea I believe being that the heat from your torso warms up your extremities, whereas extremities aren't as good in comparison at heating themselves, when compartmentalized.

Great advice! I love my blanket, but need something for my feet! maybe even a sleeping bag to bag up my feet!

Yeah a sleeping bag is the way to go here. Get a mummy bag if you can and just wrap up tight.
