Ways to keep warm

Mrs Garth Brooks

I dont think i can face another cold day.

Im in bed and hugging a hot water bottle. I have to get up and do some shopping, but im too cold. I have tried wearing a jacket, a hat, pants, socks and shoes when going outside but its not helping.

Your already in bed, so pics first.

Then I'll decide on advice on how to warm you up, which depending on the pics received may or may not involve my schlong being involved!

Get up and do some physical activity. Or get the ride.

Try a t shirt or two, and a jumper, under the jacket

you could try a second pair of socks too.

maybe put on some trousers aswell

Have you informed the UN about this impending global disaster?

Alternatively, set fire to yourself.

AnamGlas

Wear a lash of clothes!

Or none, whatever suits you.

Physical activity for yourself so.

Stick your address up here and I'll pop 'round to warm you up.

charcoal hand warmers. those are the tits. small enough to put one in each pocket, warm as a hot water bottle and stays hot for about 3 hours

Vodka. Lots of straight vodka.

I've learned in the last few minutes that vodka has a warming effect (according to the wikipedia page on alcohol.

In cold climates, potent alcoholic beverages such as vodka are popularly seen as a way to “warm up” the body, possibly because alcohol is a quickly absorbed source of food energy and because it dilates peripheral blood vessels (peripherovascular dilation). This is a misconception because the “warmth” is actually caused by a transfer of heat from the body’s core to its extremities, where it is quickly lost to the environment. However, the perception alone may be welcomed when only comfort, rather than hypothermia, is a concern.

So - just stay in bed all day and drink lots of vodka, unless you are concerned about hypothermia, of course.

• Beg/Borrow/Steal 6 hot water bottles from your neighbours.
• Fill with boiling water
• Duct tape 1 each to your legs
• Duct tape 1 each to your arms
• Duct tape 1 to your back and 1 to your stomach

Et voila.... You might look like a retard, but at least you'll be a WARM retard!

:pac::pac:

just have a lie in. Sunday afterall :-) use an extra jumper and wear a wool hat. You lose most heat through your head so wear one of those russian hats

Plenty work it works every time even on the coldest days. It isn't as cold as last year and you are in bed and still complaining of the cold. It isn't even that cold outside.

Did you leave out "do the lotto online" ?

Frag420, the next time you post that you'll get a ban.

Any questions can be asked in pm.

gamgsam

Get some long jhns and a thermal vest. Wool socks. Now put wool socks over your normal socks, 2 t shirts, and a jumper or 2. Now any heat generated will be more likely to stick around a while.

Then the most important bit - EAT BREAKFAST. And lots of it.

I can't understand why some people accept being cold. This is a really easy way to stay toasty all day. Youll be happier and way more productive all day

Its not that cold tbh.

Was much colder yesterday morning.

There's a Buddhist meditation technique that causes your body temperature to rise.

You should try it.

Is it called 'sex' by any chance?

Rubberlegs

As a previous poster said, have some breakfast. Preferably a big bowl of porridge, plenty sugar. Then a scaldy mug of tea. Warm in no time:).
Or alternatively, get pregnant:p. 50% more blood coursing through your veins would have you throwing off the duvet on the coldest of days...

are you for real ???. I was up all night wearing 4 coats and two hats and i'm still freezing, well temp is getting a bit better, it's damn cold sleeping in this car i can tell you. the cigarette lighter connection for my laptop was froze over and i had to piss on it to warm it up so the laptop power adapter could connect. not that cold me arse.

Pherekydes

You won't warm up in bed wearing clothes! Take 'em off! In bed, obviously.

Activity! Go for a run. Do some press ups. Video yourself and post it so we can have a laugh.

And, finally, if you think this is cold move somewhere really cold, like central Siberia.

That is a myth. You lose it most from wherever isn't covered.

If you wore a hat but no trousers, would you be really warm? No, as you'd lose the heat through your legs.

Wertz

Try eating a decent portion of calories. I,m always amazed at women eatimg low fat this and no calorie that and then can,t understand why they,re freezing the whole time or putting on the heating in summer. All thw layers of clothes dont matter a damn if yuor engine has no fuel in it.

ahhh the warmest thinking place is under the sea...

Thermals and plenty of layers ,i used work outdoors during the winter brrrrr

orourkeda

Nothing a drop of tay wouldnt cure.

W.Shakes-Beer

Wrapping fingerless-glove hands around a cup of tea is the only way!

I am surprised no-one has mentioned the most important piece of clothing kit for keeping warm. A thick, but comfortable woolly hat does wonders. You can even throw it on in mornings.

AnonoBoy

Moaning decreases body temperature. Stopping that will help.

pragmatic1

Get yourself a good man to ride the hole off ya.

woodoo

Turn the heat on or light a fire.

Latchy

Thermals ,hat ,scarf ,gloves ,fleece liner under jacket and 'Boots ' not shoes when out .

I have something similar to these and my feet are warm all the time .

Nothing worse than having your MP5 stick in the cold. Or being half-starved in the freezing cold thousands of miles away from home... those poor Germans
