My personal test-day for the end of Summer - the first day after August I have to put the heating on first thing. Soon it’ll be setting the timer again. Fucking hate winter.

    Yeah I got a massive one last year when the utility suppliers decided it’d be fun to try and financially break us all. Unfortunately, due to afore-mentioned zero insulation and single pane windows and subsequent condensation I need to keep the place well-aired (all windows open for at least 30mins per day, every day) followed by at least an hours blast of the heating just to ensure I don’t get black mould :/

      I’ve got single paned windows. I put that plastic storm shield plastic sheet across them. Keeps the condensation down to miniscule levels.

          Just look for window insulation kit. It’s just plastic sheeting that you put on your window frame, stuck in place with double sided tape. You then get a hair dryer to tighten the plastic, so it holds tout. This process gives you an air gap between the window and your rooms warm air, so often cuts out condensation.

          I use it every year, it makes a huge difference for me in wiping down windows alone in the morning and it’s deffo warmer sitting next to the window too.
