Many people do not wear socks or slippers in the house. Your feet can be a major source of heat loss from our bodies so it is important to keep them insulated. Also think about wearing a thick jumper or hooded top as this can save on heating bills. It is also really comfy. When you are outside wear the appropriate clothing as well. If it is likely to snow or rain, keep a waterproof jacket with you. Try to keep your feet as dry as possible also. You shouldn’t be wearing pumps in wet weather.

Having your house insulated will help you during colder months. Your house should be insulated do replace any older than 25 years and if you don’t have any at all, get some! It might be an expensive initial cost but will save you money over the next 25 years.
