We are in a cold snap this week and energy price have gone up again 
Here's some tips/advice to stay warm and if you have any more, drop them below
Layer up! Put thick socks on with a pair of slippers, add a jumper (or 2) and gloves really help especially if you are working from home like me
Cosy up under blankets on the sofa
Hot water bottles are your friend! Check the expiry date on yours though to prevent a mishap.
When you can afford to, having your heating on will help not only keep you warm but can help prevent damp and mould issues.
If you can afford a heated blanket, it's cheaper to use that than have your heating on.
Try to have a hot meal every day - the NHS says this will help keep you warm aswell as hot drinks.
All great ideas and most I have been doing for years. But my best one is to go away in the winter. I am lucky to be able to do this but I never go away in our summer months.
If you have a microwave a wheat bag is safer and cheaper than a hotwater bottle, it's also easier for arthritic fingers.
Hot water bottles and blankets. It's freezing where I am. We've actually had snow
Frequent drinks of cool boiled water containing a mix of honey lemon and ginger, also layer up and get into bed to sweat out.
Couldn't agree more!
Any citrus fruit will do the trick & it boosts your immune system as well.
Which eventually helps to reduce the way we are getting cold & sneeze.
Cheers for sharing this tip 
Always make up a flask of your favourite drink & keep it with you,that way you're keeping warm,having fluids & not boiling a kettle every time you need a drink..
When i'm at home I layer up well and find i get plenty of added heat if I need if from my hot water bottle and I have an electric blanket...best place to be if i'm cold.

HEDGEHOGS ..Yes our Torti Topaz does,she purrrrs like a Harley Davidson too...Topaz will be 11 in March..
I love to cook nice hot meals that make you all warm inside proper winter comfort
A good one is to go for a 20 minute walk, it's a win win. fresh air, fitness, raises the heart rate and temperature and takes a while to wear off once back home.
Honestly I bought an electric blanket years ago on sale from Amazon and it is the best purchase I have made. Not only has it gotten us through the cold, it also got helped get me through kidney stone pain as well as a back injury! 
I got hand warmers where they warm your hands up when cold also gloves hat when walking
