and around February I am having to defrost their water bottles every morning. Will
the Fuchia be ok if I cover it with a fleece when it gets to this stage?

Yes, start with one layer and then add a couple more if we get a
winter like last time.

Also a little worried about light, it's right next to the window but
it's not the brightest spot, will this be ok?

you could even move it back from the window, it does not need the
light, if you are happy for it to shred all its leaves. They will grow
back next year, but some growers like to keep the leaves on, that
needs a bit more light / heat / and water.
I prefer to keep it simple and let the fuchsia grow a complete new set
next march/ april.


The only other place it could come is the house and I'm worried it'll be to drying with the
heating.

I have sixty odd plants and 200 odd cuttings for next year, none of
them will be brought into the house, they will stay in an unheated
greenhouse, using fleece to keep the frost off, and a heated bench
switched on sometime in March just to hasten spring.

Greenhouse to come in the spring.

Great, then the fun will begin :-)
