RE: Ways to keep warm - your ideas are needed - Tarrel - 24 May 2013
Sounds like Geordie Rob has already made some good preps.
I'd add that, if the gas supply gets squeezed, the domestic supply will be last thing to get restricted. One of the first problems will be electricity generation, especially given that many coal-fired stations are being taken off-line this year, increasing the dependency on gas.
So, as well as all the extra blankets, duvets, etc, think about an off-grid back-up power supply for the essentials such as lighting, central heating pump and, maybe, fridge/freezer.
I'd also add good old woollen blankets. They're versatile, look good and are very warm.

I have a little gas fire on the wall. Behind this is a mini chimney used to remove the gases. If i remove the fire could I use this to build a wood fire or would it be useless?

Cold Shower, Or Cold Immersion followed by drying and dry clothes. You'll feeling like you're burning with heat all day.
