Tips for staying warm and keeping that bill down

I recently asked my lovely group of Bargain Mums what they did to keep their winter electricity bill down. The response was fantastic and I'd like to share those tips with you here.

Danielle Medina: I just bought some snakes from Ikea. The kids think they are great to play with, and when they go to bed I put them across the doors to keep the drafts out.

Marteen Loneragan: we wrap up in blankets before we even consider putting the heater on.

Rebecca Pryde: I've heard that uncovered windows (no curtains or blinds) lets alot of cold in, so I always try to have the curtains drawn before it gets dark. Don't know if it does anything, but it makes me feel better. :)

Christine Hancock: Heavily lined curtains and a pelmet at the top to block the cold air.

Suzy N Kevin Lincoln: About 4ish as it starts to cool down we rug up and go outside to play chasey with the dogs! Gets the blood pumping and warms us up for a few more hours!

Some fantastic suggestions!

How do you stay warm when the winter chill is in the air?
