That's a great tip to turn the thermostat down by a degree and it is really easy to do! We have an intelligent heating system and that does help us save money on our heating, but does involve an initial investment. Layers is a good one too – can't believe I missed that one!

And a decent programmeable thermostat to make sure the heating is only on when you need it. You can also control remotely with some products. Plus wear layersto keep warm

Clever tips – I really like the blu-tack over the keyhole idea! Thanks for sharing!

It is something we used to do though and to great effect. We have an extractor fan in the kitchen and as soon as colder weather strikes I cover the inside vent with a shower cap to stop draughts. It is amazing how much warmer the kitchen feels when it is in place. It is also easy to remove and replace when I need to use the fan. We have also put sealant around gaps in window frames and a piece of blu-tak or similar placed over keyholes is another very low tech way to stop those howling gales that find their way through the smallest of gaps!
