Winter will be here soon and what Have I done to prepare ABSOLUTELY NOTHING . Its getting so much colder now and I am trying hard to resist putting the heating to try and avoid using too much gas its so dam expensive now and we have a large house it takes a lot to keep it warm.So here is how we are going to keep the bills down.
1) Wrap up warm with additional layers
2) bleed the radiators so when do have to switch the central heating on there heating to their full potential
3) 2 extra blankets on each bed
4) hot waterbottles to help keep us cosy
5) Superglue to glue my eldest childs bedroom window shut she wont keep it closed its driving me mad makes the whole of upstairs so cold ( only messing i would never do this one)
6) I am looking into purchasing or making reflective sheets that fit behind the radiator to reflect the heat back into the room. Though i have read a couple of reviews that said these did not make much difference
7) go on a draft hunt and ensure any cracks are seeled right up and that all seals on external doors are in good repair
I cant think of any more but hopefully these will keep us cosy just going to focus on filling the freezer and sorting out my car now as i drive quite a distance at night on my way home from work so tomorrow i will be checking oil , water etc and stashing some blankets and deicer in the boot just in case .
What do you guys do to lower the fuel bills and prepare for winter?
