I got a pair of thermals from primary £10 each for top and trousers. Then just put my normal clothes and gear over the top. Have you tried the handlebar covers the work well for keeping your fingers warm.
I just can not bring myself to attach muffs im afraid.

M&S thermal underwear I have always found to be pretty good, but you do need a wind-proof layer in there somewhere for anything like that to have a chance of working properly. Unfortunately, with not wanting handlebar muffs, you have probably just ruled out the most effective way of keeping hands warm. I don't blame you though, I've never liked the things, but then, I don't ride much when it's freezing. Lots of folk swear that summer gloves are all that's needed under them though, and combined with heated grips, you'll never experience cold hands again. I do miss my heated grips I had on the last bike, had never tried them before that.
