I recommend the Menopause, it keeps me toasty hot and the restless legs help keep my toes warm .

We all sit around a candle, if it gets really cold we light it.
If it gets to bad it's off to Dover with the dinghy, 4-5 stars yes.

Great ideas. Half the cold battle is won for me by keeping my feet and lower legs warm with thick wool socks. I’m going to pick up more of those fleece throws to cover the windows and doors when it gets super cold here in January and February. I’m currently putting clear bubble wrap on my windows and it’s helping. Feels like I am living in a cave but at least I’m not freezing yet. The cat has started sleeping under my bed covers even during the day to get toasty. My husband is determined to keep heating fuel costs down so I am grateful for everyone who is sharing their hints about how to keep warm. Thanks Funky!

Was lucky enough to have a multi stove fitted in this summer. Wish I could warm everyone this winter. Bloody world is sh*T now.

I remember when I was in my Nan s house my Nan only had one fire in the house no radiator in every room and it was freezing cold and my Nan put a scarf on the toilet pipe s to stop it from frozen in winter that would be in the 70/80 years and only ha gas fireplace in the living room a I remember that she had to put 50 p in meters back then with a metal key and ten blankets on the bed s no duvets and hot bottles sometimes my Nan put a house brick in the oven and in the bed to warm the bed I thought it was crazy but it did work if my Nan was alive today she would have helped with ideas with this thing we’re having right now cost living

Add to your warm drink, a thermos, so you can take that drink to bed with you. UK households are facing a hard winter, but the signs where all there at least 9 months ago, in all survival situations, and this is definitely one of them keeping aware of what going on is imperative.

I find one husband and two fluffy dogs works.

@funkyprepper it needs to be warming the person not so much the room, you need to utilise candles very carefully and have fire extinguishers at hand, been on too many calls for candles. could I suggest utilizing bubble wrap, im an emergency nurse and its used pre hospital to help warm casualties. other forms of heat could be utilizing the instant hand/feet warmers both disposable and the usb type, another suggestion is the usb powered gillets, also foil space blankets and remember to block gaps under doors/ windows, using thick curtains over doors and obviously windows. thermos of tea coffee or soup also very good idea.

I hate the cold I'm 64, I leave the warm longsleaved top on, that I have been wearing during the day when it gets too cold. I have several old jumpers I can put on as well. I have a king sized winter duvet and an older double sized one I fold both of these in half so I have two under me two on top and put a few throws on top, a wooly hat gloves plus socks and also those lovely warm slipper socks. Keeping alive means you put away your fashion conscious head and replace it with the survival one.

Something my mum told me many years ago was that when she lived at home (she was one of about 7 girls), they all used to sleep in one big bed and they didn't have blankets, so instead they used coats. This was during WWII onwards, my mum was born in 1937.

I have a tip regulating body temp. When I gets too warm in your tent and bedding, if you just stick your foot outside of the coverings for a few minutes, it will be enough to take the feeling of being too hot away without making everything cool down.

I put my ski gear on 🤗 lovely and warm.
Bought this new kit at the start of summer at bargain prices.
If it gets super cold I can set up a tent in the warmest room to create a micro-climate.
I cook in the evening as it has the secondary benefit of warming the kitchen.
A warm shower 37 c in the evening before bed keeps me warm for ages.

Hi funky and all... many years ago young and living in bedsit land l taped cling film around my windows and with a hairdryer on it it becomes taught. Cheap double glazing it always worked a treat that and a heavy blanket up at the door and of course a homemade draught excluder snake...loved my cozy bedsit..stay warm peeps 😜💜✌️🌪️🌧️☔❄️🔥

For single people put a pillow either side of your body under the covers. It keeps out the drafts and warms up quickly. I’ve also pitched a 2m gazebo in the front room with blankets for walls. Temperature is 2-3 degrees higher than the surrounding room.

I have never heated my bedroom im 73 and just use a down quilt in the winter and never have been cold in bed

[PrepareSurvive]

Pitch a small tent in the room or on your bed and sleeping in it will seem much warmer. You can also add a fleece blanket over the top to hold in more heat. Free standing dome tents work best. There are even companies that make specific tents designed and sized to fit on beds.

Slippers and long dressing gown kept right next to the bed for those who absolutely have to get out in the night, to keep the warmth in the feet and body until you get back in bed. That's what I used to do when I was a kid and the metal framed, single glazed windows had frozen shut with ice on the inside lol. The trick about covering the bed back over immediately is spot on, it's so much cosier when you get back in. 👍

[mrLoftladder]

great tips, my partner is a great believer in a "warm bed cold bedroom", so fleece bedding and open windows in our home are the standing order unless the curtains are parallel to the floor and it's raining😂. Gotta say I've never been cold at night even in the depths of winter

[jasonblack]

We use wool duvets, hands down the best thing iv ever used on the bed. Expensive but no more than a good down duvet. They get you warm fast, are not claggy, allow you to regulate your body temperature better than anything else. Hands down a brilliant investment. If you haven't looked into them, have a look.
