Today, I'm gonna share some useful tips to help you keep warm.

And we're gonna start with some of the basics.

Adverbs of degree

If it's cold in the morning, try starting your day with a nice warm breakfast, something like porridge will fill you up really well and help to keep your body warm.

This will help insulate you and keep your body heat in.

If you're going outside, wear a warm jacket, of course.

And wearing a hat to keep your head warm will often make your whole body feel warmer.

Wearing fingerless gloves will keep your hands warm while still allowing you to do delicate things with your fingers.

You can, of course, wear two pairs of socks to keep your feet warm.

Or get yourself some of these nice thick thermal ones.

And if you do suffer with cold feet, you can get fluffy thermal innersoles, which are perfect for lining your shoes.

And before you go out, you can warm your shoes up with a hairdryer.

This will produce body heat and keep you warm even after your exercise session has finished.

Make yourself a warm lunch, something like soup is ideal.

And if you're working outside or away, you can take it with you in a food flask.

Whilst we're at it, you should have lots of hot drinks throughout the day, and if it helps, you can use a thermos.

If you're getting drafts from under your door, you can roll up a blanket and use it as a draft excluder.

And for internal doors, you can make another draft excluder out of a pair of old tights.

Chop one leg off with a pair of scissors and take a couple of wrapping paper rolls.

Push them both into the tightsm, and you should have something which looks like this.

Next, we need to thread it under the door so that one roll sits on each side.

You can now close and open the door and it's got its own built in draft excluder.

You can make your own room heater out of terracotta plant pots and tea, light candles.

Put down a heatproof mat and place on a pie dish.

Sit all three candles in the middle of the dish and light them up.

Place over a cooling rack or a grill, take a small terracotta plant pot and sit it on the grill upside down over the candles.

Then put a slightly bigger pot over the top and another one over that.

And finally, place a coin on top over the hole. These plant pots will retain and radiate the heat from the candles.

They do get really hot, so do be careful.

It's an effective and really cheap way to help warm your room.

The moment the sun's gone down, make sure you draw your curtains to insulate the windows.

And when you're going to bed, you can, of course, use a hot water bottle to help warm the bed up first before you get in it.

Or you could treat yourself to a nice electric blanket.
