Description
When the boiler fails on a freezing British night, fifteen inexpensive Poundland items can help you hold on to warmth, light and hot food until help arrives.
I count down practical ways to slow draughts, insulate windows, warm your bed and keep one room comfortable, using items including pool noodles, thermal socks, hand warmers, hot water bottles and fleece throws. I also explain how a polystyrene cool box can work like an old-fashioned haybox cooker, helping food continue cooking without extra fuel.
I cover essential safety around candles, gel fuel, carbon monoxide, open flames and indoor cooking, along with simple ways to use emergency foil blankets, LED lights, a thermal flask and basic cupboard food during a heating failure.
