you can even go out an buy cheap temp winter double glazing kits for your windows and fitting these as extra thermal barriers in the cold times of year.

stopping the cold air coming in means less heat loss and so cheaper electric bills all round.

theres also nice cheap and easy stickyback draft excluders for placing around door frames on a long roll you could use to help keep out the cold.

you could even put up kite mark approved insulating ceiling tiles above a shallow false ceiling to help keep the heat in if you cont get/have access to the rafters/loft etc if your in the place for a long time.

Thanks for that, i'm really well insulated but there is always room for improvement
