Wear loads of layers and by jove, do some yoga breathing exercises to get warm.
It helps me because the blood flows around the body so well....even my cold feet get warm.

Pm me and i'll tell you more. :smile:

Bro, i'm really sorry for you :frown:

Some of the places where the cold gets through are the front door and back door, what family does is cover up the areas where outside is flowing through with a carpet.

Keep all windows closed properly........

You could try to buy some Uniqlo heat technology clothing......... or wear woolly/thick clothing......................... or buy a fleece blanket from Ikea

what's uniqlo heat techno clothing?

Electric blanket and long johns. Draft excluders and hand warmers. Cuddles.

Draft excluders at the bottom of doors for sure, it stops all the heat escaping. :smile:

Then of course blankets and lots of layers of clothes. Fuzzy socks, or even better over-the-knee socks... or FUZZY over the knee socks :biggrin:

I love mine.

A fuzzy bunny sitting on your lap works too, though so do most pets < 3

And tea. Tea is amazing.

Buy thermals.
Thermal vests.
Thermal leggings/long johns.
Thermal socks. (Peacocks actually do some massively thick fluffy socks which are wonderful. They're £6 for a pair but totally worth it. You get 20% if you have NUS as well)
Fingerless gloves so you can still type :p:

I also sleep with two duvets and a fleece, whilst wearing my dressing-gown over my PJs.

This! I put my clothes on and then shove my hairdryer down them and give it a quick blast :p:

Especially useful for warming up feet, off to do this now, actually.

M&S also do heat generating vest and long johns. The vests look just like ordinary long sleeved t shirts, which is how I wear mine.

If your hands are cold, stick them in your butt crack. That's natures pocket!

Expose yourself to the cold more and you will get used to it.

I have poor circulation and feel cold all the time and my room at halls is cold too so that doesn't help either. :frown:

I sleep with socks on, a jumper/hoody and a blanket besides my duvet. during the day I wear a hoody indoors and if that is not enough I wear my dressing gown on top of that at night. and I wear socks all the time. during the day I have hot drinks. I hold them in my hand to warm my hands and then when I drink it, it makes me feel all warm and nice inside. often when I am doing work and I still feel cold I put a blanket around my shoulders for extra warmth. :smile:
