Keeping warm , trying not to use the heating !!

We don't have central heating in our flat , we have expensive electric heating . So I am trying not to switch it on till we really need too !

 So just a few items we have are :

• Fleece Pjs , onesies for little miss ! 
• Extra thick socks 
• Dressing gowns 
• Rugs on the floors
• Draught excluders 
• Lined curtains 
• Lots of blankets for our beds 
• Matters toppers designed to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter
• And hot water bottles ! One for the sofa , one for mummy's bed and a wheat filled owl for little miss ! 

I know we will have to put the heating on at some point and I would never let my little miss get cold , just to save a few penny's ! 

But if the winter of 2012/2013 is anything to go by it will set in cold and stay that way a long time . So I don't want to get use to something that quite simply we can't afford to have on the all the time ! 

We also try to get out and use places like the library which are warm and cozy !
