As the cost of living crisis bites at the same time temperatures drop, many UK households are searching for tips and tricks on how to keep warm without putting on the heat.
Whilst some are anxious to reduce soaring energy bills, others sadly aren't in the situation to turn the heating on full stop. To help people deal with the crisis, one social media user took to Twitter to divulge the best strategies.

About a month ago, Charlamagne the God was publically dragged for questioning Chief Keef‘s influence, absurdly claiming that the Chicago rapper didn’t “change the world.” Those defending Keef’s impossible-to-overstate legacy defended it on Twitter, and even exposed some new wrinkles: Lil Gnar, an artist signed to Keef’s label 43B, tweeted at the time: “im in spain rn n da biggest rappers here told me dey learned english jus to understand what chief keef says.” That’s pretty incredible!
