I know that there is at least one poster here who suffers the cold and does not heat their home so that they can pay for skiing holidays.

 No doctor would endorse what I am doing but I can't helping thinking that if you wear a fraction of what I wear, it might help. I don't 'suffer' in the slightest.

How many layers, out of interest?  Our heating is set to 18℃ and I tend to wear 4 or 5 layers in winter.  (For context, today is much warmer than it has been so I'm only wearing 2 layers, one of which is a fleecy jumper.  I don't need knee-high socks today, though.)

HertsLad has a lengthy thread (here) where his accommodations for cold weather have been described, discussed and dissected.
His clothing layers are pictured here and listed here.

Thank you!  You're an absolute superstar!  There was no way I could trawl through the thread trying to find that info.

[That's how I dress to go outside when it's that cold, I used to have to wear almost that much inside before we had central heating, but I did feel like the Michelin man and I was miserable never actually fully warming up.  Lack of movement ability really didn't help my already rubbish circulation.]

Glad I could help 😊
