Winter Warmth: preparing for the cold snap
Winter can be a cruel mistress - you may be looking at a season of sideline shivers or thinking about soggy dog walks. Whatever the season has is store, you might be looking at ways to make it a little more cosy and dry.
It is quite clear from the Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas group that many of you have plenty of occasions where you could potentially freeze your peanuts off. There have been a number of lengthy posts on the subject so we have gathered the best bits, tip and products all in one place.

Not sure what will suit you?
This is where real shops with real buildings come in. We would also recommend having a look round your local charity shops if you are on a tight budget, or if you just love finding treasure. They really can be full of little hidden gems. You can read all about the benefits of buying second hand here.
If you can't get out and would rather shop from the warmth of your hooded blanket (who could blame you), you could have a go at 'try before you buy' with Amazon. We have a little discount for you if you are new to this service. Just click the banner below and enter the code 'GIFT10'.
