Just found that some of my floorboards have gaps in them letting cold draught in. Any idea how I can seal them properly and cheaply?
Rolled up damp newspaper shoved between the gaps - push it in with a knife or something...
For a longer term fix, mix up papier mache with brown ink/dye to roughly match the colour of the boards?0 -

Heavy snow and ice here today. Good practice run for winter prep. I need to find a soft brush broom to help clear the top of the car of snow.

Youngest DD put her sensible head on and asked for the Lakeland heated airer for Christmas. They've got it early from us and are very pleased with it so far:)0

From what I'm seeing on Netweather this week, most of the UK are looking at minus temps during the day from the middle of next week for a prolonged period with a likely possibility of widespread snow :eek:
I hope everyones ready?
Apart from the bedroom curtain fiasco, we've been ready for a while. I read this thread religiously, although I only posted once or twice. Notably in 2010 when we arrived home boxing day from visiting family and the condensing pipe to the boiler had frozen and our house was a balmy 8 degrees! Then the pipes burst lol. We laugh now....
So, we've curtains up at the front and back door, radiator foil on all external wall rads and fleeces on the sofa's along with a duvet on the matress and lots of layers being worn. I will admit to being fortunate enough to be in a position where we could deliberately overpay our gas & electric bills this summer and so we're almost £200 in credit which takes a load off, knowing that we don't have to suffer the cold too badly. I have the gas fire on now as the living room dropped to 15 degrees and I'm working from home so can't move about.
No need to stock up on anything really as we're pretty organised like that and only live a couple of hundred yards from the main road which has Morrisons, Lidle and lots of corner shops so we won't struggle if it does snow.

I didn't realise you could overpay like that.:T I might do that next year. Ours is only electric so we only pay about £60 a month but I think it should go up soon as we have the heaters on.0
