Last part we explained how to dress for Autumn and Winter, what about keeping warm?

One way to quell this argument is by wrapping up. When you’re at home its best when you wear comfortable clothing, which sometimes isn’t very insulating, yet purchasing a few items that combine comfort and warmth will leave you feeling cosy and will allow you to stay hot without turning the heating on.

If it does come to turning the heating on, there is a simple way of reducing the amount you pay for it. Firstly most boilers will have a timer that you can turn on and organise in order to allocate when the heater turns on, this will save on the amount you use the heater whilst still keeping your home warm. With most modern houses and flats there is good insulation which means you can allocate the time to four hours all day.

Finally when you’ve heated the house it is attempting to keep the heat from cooling down quickly. This is simple and involves keeping windows and doors shut, by doing so the room is able to retain the heat and stay warmer for longer.

Autumn the time of shorter days and pumpkin spiced everything, also the time when the temperature decreases and heating prices increase.

By being smart with you heating, wrapping up, delaying the heater time, and keeping windows and doors shut, will save you money on heating throughout the autumn and winter months.

My information:

Some homes don't have modern heating systems, some have old school fireplaces, a great source of old school heating, but costly for coal, peat and firewood, but still worth it.

Curling up with your pooch in front of the lit fireplace, watching TV can ensure a cosy autumn atmosphere indoors.

Also if you find yourself getting chilly, place a fleece throw over you, and curl up with a good book.

And another bedroom comfort of warmth if you hate leaving the heating on, is a hot water bottle.

Top tip: Do not use boiling water as this can damage the seams of the bottle and adds to the risk of burns

Top tip: Do not use boiling water as this can damage the seams of the bottle and adds to the risk of burns. It is important not to use hot tap water where possible as it may contain impurities, otherwise removed during the boiling process, which can degrade the bottle increasing the risk of accidents.
