"How can it be so cold in here? It's like Greenland in here. We've got to get some booze."

Yy a thousand times yes to slipper boots. I love them. Massive yeti ones preferably.

Also hot water bottles are the best thing in the world for warming up. Very comforting too.

Make a hot water bottle and put it into your bed about 15 minutes before you head to bed. Sexy and spontaneous? No. Warm and cosy - YES.

Quilting is a useful hobby because you can have the quilt spread over you as you do it.

Ive got a second pair of socks on today and can feel the difference. Ive got thermal knee high socks on with a pair of those thick fluffy socks over. My feet were like ice before, not I feel rather warm

The Old Skool way - hot water bottles, go to bed early to watch TV, keep blankets or throws on the sofa to wrap in, make a flask of tea/coffee to keep in the living room, always wear socks, keep doors closed, have draught excluders by each door(make using newspaper and old tights). Apologies if these have already been mentioned

Let your DCs share your bed and then it's warm when you go up later to get in! Last night i went up and DD had climbed in my bed because she'd spilt illicit hot chocolate on her duvet (teenagers....grr! love her though) and my bed was toasty warm. She, however, had to go back to her own bed with the spare room duvet!

seriously though, heated pads, warm slippers and hot chocolate with chilli from Montezumas.
