House warming tips?
![Former Member](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030621/uploads/defaultavatar/nJHX7Z3NJVPO4.jpg)
Not sure if this is in the right category..
So, my flat gets cold pretty quick! I've recently got carpet in my living room so it's warmer than what it is, but I'm saving up for carpet for my bedroom.
Any tips to keep my flat warm? It's costing so much having the heater/electric heater on just to warm it up.
At night I have numerous amounts of hot water bottles scattered over my bed so I keep warm at night - just need a few tips about keeping warmer in the day?
Thank you

Would s/he not add carpet for you?

I know that windows and the doors are the worst for letting out the heat. All good ideas so far for insulating around windows and doors.
But I noticed that you said you don't have carpet. There are sites like freecycle and gumtree where you could find free or cheap carpet or anything else you need.
Hope you are able to be warmer soon!
Just have to snuggle and keep warm one way x

I read a little while a back about a way to heat a room using just tea lights, flowerpots and a tin:

Excuse the link to the Daily Mail, just the first place I found it with a quick google.
Can't vouch as to whether it definitively works, but seems an interesting/very cheap way to generate some heat!
Will.
Thanks guys!
