Sounds like everyone is reaping the benefit of our preparations. Nice to think that we can offer everyone a WARM welcome on here isn't it? Thanks everyone, couldn't/ wouldn't have done it without you.:grouphug::T (and for anyone just getting home, hope that you thaw out quickly:))

Problem :eek:

Whilst my kitchen is now really, really cosy (in the 10 years i've lived here its always been cold), the back door (with the HM fleece curtain attached) is dripping with condensation

Its a wooden door with glass panel at the top. The wood at the bottom (quite thin) is wet. The top bit is ok because its bubble wrapped... altho I guess I could run into problems with that that I can't see.

Now what shall I do?

Lit the wood burner tonight as it is freezing here in South Lincolnshire.Now it is toasty warm in the living room and as there is only me and the cats I don't have to heat elsewhere!

dry it out and maybe get some plywood and double skin it

ive so far ordered a new winter hat and scarf, ive bought a regatta fleece jacket which is toasty and warm.
also gonna have to start building up my stores,, (i should of been doing this when i started on this thread but hey ho!)

also cold here, i want a wood burner but alas i dont think the landlord (council) would allow it

Yeah I think a double skin is the way to go - looks like my week is going to be all about DIY!
