My first winter without a furnace is going to be an interesting one... or I'll just break down, pay a repair man to repair the heater, and get my landlord to reimburse me.

^ I used to do that in the winter; put up clear plastic sheets about half a millimetre thick to acheive a kind of poor-man`s double glazing. Unfortunately, although it presumably helped, the apartment stayed bitterly cold - I`d recommend ringing that repair man !
