I've read that if you get heavier curtains that come at least 2" past the window sill/trim you will cut drafts dramatically. It seems to work for me... except that I haven't got the curtains made for three rooms yet.

I don't have very many curtains. We have lots of windows and I love the sun coming in and I can see everything outside. However, we need some better night-coverings. We have blinds for only some of the windows and are working on the rest. Like I said, he did plastic last year but we don't have any up this year.
My husband read that a difference in over 5 degrees on programmable thermostats is too far for the house to catch up and costs more on catch up than it's worth. I don't know much about that...he's the expert on that stuff.
