Using a heated throw keeps your legs and lower body warm. I found that helped with the cold hands a fair bit. It's still not perfect.
I found fingerless gloves affected my typing too much.
Regular cups of tea, and holding the cup, is the low-tech solution.

That requires electricity to use the kettle.
I can't find anything about any confirmation.
Just the useless yearly cost figures.
I want the rates!
@MatsyLRSo new price cap rates:
Electricity is 52p/kWh (from 28p) and standing charge now 46p/day (from 45p)
Gas is 15p/kWh (from 7p) and standing charge now 28p/day (from 27p).
The standing charge not going up brings the headline figure down a bit but that’s an 86% increase in electric and 114% gas unit costs. Absolutely grim.
And this is before the January rise…

lovely....Well the Russians are burning off the gas that they would have otherwise given to Europe. Their intentions are to cut them off entirely and cause a huge global crisis in an effort to get us to submit to them, I'm not sure how much clearer it could be:
Russian plant ‘burning off £8m of gas a day’ as supply to Germany is limited
Experts say rate of gas flaring at Portovaya plant is unprecedented, and raise concerns over emissionswww.theguardian.com
Price cap set to £3549
No, it's not a surprise, doesn't stop it from being disgusting.

Boiling only what you use is about the only thing you can do.
Or just, you know, don't drink so much tea
Oh wait, something something national identity.

I can be cold, but you will steal the tea from my cold, dead hands.
Don’t you have an you have an EV though, that’s probably 2000-3000kwh a year.
9000kwh per year might not be outrageous if you have standard electric heating or do big miles in an EV. If not then yeh, you are probably in weed grow territory.
Drink cold drinks or only boil the kettle when you all want one.

I think I should point out that we’re not the average 3 bed semi detached. Most on average have a couple with two kids living in them, we have 5 adults and the oven is used 3 times a day. There’s also 4 TV’s, 3 PC’s 3 fridge freezers and 2 mini fridges. It’s more than average but over 9000 is still a lot, even for that
