If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.
Keep your main living room at around 18-21°C (65-70°F) and the rest of the house at least 16°C (61°F). If you can't heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before you go to sleep.
Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Regular hot drinks and eating at least one hot meal a day will help keep energy levels up during winter and keep your body warm. 
Finally, make sure you get the seasonal flu jab. While not 100% guaranteed, it should reduce your vulnerability to infection...

Why Did Boeing (BA) Increase Its Dividend By 50 Percent And Buy Back Shares For $10 Billion? :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) announced Monday that it would raise its dividend to shareholders by 50 percent and will start a $10 billion share buyback program in January that will last for two or three years.</p>
<p>The share purchase, which represents about 10 percent of Boeing's outstanding stock, is expected to pay 73 cents a share, up from 48.5 cents, and be payable from March 2014.</p>
<p>Boeing said it increased the dividend because the current yield per share "is a little low when compared to the historical average," Chief Executive Jim McNerney said.</p></div></div></div>
