Hi,
How is everyone today?
I thought I'd share a couple of websites that might help you this winter.
If you're struggling with heating bills, check out this section of our website for some schemes that might be able to help:

The NHS also has put together some useful information about staying well during the winter:

Hi @Alex,
Nice to bring the subject of cold. We have few snowflakes here in London in Hackney. It is always nice to see how snows once in a while for just half an hour.
I wish the snow did not melt.

Hi @nanof6,
I looked previously on webpages for disable people, which sell sorts of staff useful on a daily bases. I found wheelchair cosy.
Perhaps, you would fill warmer in one of them:

Different prices from different suppliers.
Have a nice weekend.
