Its actually not a mental idea......

I've just ordered 2x milwaukee battery powered heated jacket/gilee.

Triple usage! At my work its cold in morning before monster 44kw wood burner does anything, on motorbike in winter it means you can actually ride in Scotland and not die of exposure (can run it direct from the bike or on a battery) and at home, just minimal heating and use jacket to heat your body*

*Quadruple win, charge it from a location where my energy is paid under a fixed price contract from years back at a nice 7p/kwh, 5.0aH battery lasts a very long time on those jackets.
Information from building preservation people is that around 14c is often the best temp to maintain properties that are out of use, or low habitation, as its enough to keep it above outside temp so that stone/old school buildings do their thing of pushing moisture out of the stone from the inside + its a low temp so less humidity will hang in the air + cost to heat to 14c is I think less than half of getting it to 19c? (source = gut feeling watching the money meter spin round half as fast).

Jokes aside, this winter folk are going to die in their own homes, lots of them, unreal. If you've got elderly/infirm neighbours, go and check on them more often, stick some money on their meter if you can spare it.
