The weather outside is frightful! But our tips really are delightful!

Keep warm this winter by following our helpful and easy tips that won’t cost you a fortune in heating bills.

Keep Yourself Warm

• Wear lots of thin layers vs one thick layer to better keep your body temperature warm.
• Choose clothes made from wool, cotton or fleece.
• Draw any curtains as soon as you can (even keeping them closed throughout the day to keep out draughts.) Look to fit thermal linings where possible.
• Bust out the thermals and wear a hat. You lose most of your body heat from your head so chuck on a warm hat for added warmth.
• Your body keeps warm by burning the food you’ve eaten, so keep warm by filling up on warm food that’s also filling such as potatoes, rice, pasta or bread (see more below!)
• Get a keyhole cover to help keep cold out and warmth in.
• Have your heating system serviced and where applicable, your chimney swept.
• Sip on some whiskey. It’s delicious and will warm you up every time.

Top Warming Recipes to Try

• British Beef and Dumpling Stew
• Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Bake
• Toad in the Hole
• Chilli Con Carne

Activities To Keep You Warm

• Star jumps
• Going for a brisk stroll
• Cleaning your home (two birds, one stone!)
• Household chores (see our very own appliance exercise routine for tips. Yes, really!)

We hope this has helped you keep warm and save money this winter!
