Default heat

Hi, I can really recommend hot water bottles, I have the normal rubber ones and also one of the old ceramic ones I got from Jt from Sabrinabray. It is marvelous! I love to fill them and put them behind me on the couch so I am cosy even if the room is a bit chilly.

Definately pull the curtains and line them if not already,

make draught excluders from jeans legs (cut off leg, (jean's not yer' own), turn inside out, secure with elastic band, turn right side out, stuff with old clothes and secure end as before and stuff this bit inside.) Voila! one eco draught excluder...or you could teach your dog to lie along the bottom of the door!..even better get your dog to cuddle up with you on couch as there's great heat in a dog!

Also put draught excluder on all doors, pull down blinds, light your favourite candle (doesn't give much heat but makes you feel warm)
in fact do all the little things and it will make a big difference. Good luck...Unapam
