Tips to stay warm this winter
There are plenty of other affordable ways to stay warm this winter.

They are always great for a no-cost way to stay warm.
Before purchasing this heated throw, it's also worth checking whether you qualify for free electric blankets.
Major energy companies are giving away free electric blankets and money-saving gadgets as part of customer support packages.
Don't forget the preventive measures, make your house draft-free and seal your windows to prevent cold air from entering.
Prices for drafts in most stores do not include the starting amount from a fiver, but a thick blanket rolled up next to a drafty door will work just as well.
Seal drafty windows with easy-to-use weather stripping. Prices for these start at €1.99 and can save up to €70 on your energy bill.
Attic insulation is also very important as it can prevent heat from escaping, reducing your heating bill.
You can buy insulation from all local builders' merchants or retailers such as B&Q and Wickes.
