The Autumn season is my favorite time of year and as we head closer to Christmas and rumours of bad weather keep surfacing its time to prepare for the frost!

Always keep your heating or hot water on froststat or on low to avoid the pipes bursting in really cold weather.

Nows the time to clear all your guttering and drains of the leaves and debris which has collected through the year so they are in the best shape they can be for the rain fall.

Set timers on your heating controls so you can be more energy efficient and careful with your bills.

Get out your winter duvet or add an extra blanket to your bed to keep heating costs down and add linings on curtains or thicker fabric to keep the draughts out.

Stock up on some long life milk and other essentials so that if the snow falls you dont have to venture out!
