It's the only time of year I recommend a middle floor flat we rarely use the heating having flats all around us we have fantastic insulation and benefit from everyone else's heating being on.
I hereby elevate you to the position of honorary Yorkshireman/woman.
Cold Weather Payment
Cold weather payments are offered to those on certain benefits in the event that the area they live in has extreme cold weather.
If you’re eligible you will receive £25 for each seven consecutive day period that the weather hits zero degrees celsius or below between 1st November and 31st March.

Commit a crime and get yourself deported to Australia. That will fix your heating costs, but you may have to pay for the cooling thingy. I will give you a good price.
