      4. Defluff behind radiators.. has anyone tried those heat reflective things for behind radiators? Are they good for energy saving? Yes, they do work - my last job involved knowing about energy saving :o. You need to put them behind radiators that are on outside walls. Radiators on inside walls need to have dark paint behind them so that the heat is absorbed into the fabric of the building...

        This is a really good site for energy saving ideas - have a look at the section on maximising radiator efficiency.
    4. welcome to the thread nattyt and Jammygal - I will send you a pm shortly that might help you along.

      hope everyone has a good week

      I'm in - thanks to all in command!

      Welcome to all newbies

      I think I will probably only manage Level 1 until I'm back in the work routine but will see how it goes.

      Off to sort a list .............

      I'm in - shall be pottering until Wednesday. I have not done NEARLY enough (as per) but since I need to have much more free time available to have a social life (winks lewdly) I MUST be more organised.
      (Says she who has been carting two purses which are EMPTY and two currencies (which are in the bottom of my bag) round for over a week now. And I haven't taken my Budapest pics off the camera and uploaded them to facebook yet. And the bank account is not up to date...

      Situation normal in valliland. Many thanks to all at FCC. Mules heading towards Derbyshire, then...
