Evening everyone. It really hasn't stopped raining all day! It was a nightmare getting to work this morning, loads of people were late. It's getting heavier now, but I don't mind since I'm in the house and tucked up in bed already ha ha
I do have a question for all you old-stylers though - some of the windows in our house have gaps in them. They are upvc, but either they are old, or they aren't very good and there's quite large gaps. I had a load of polyester toy stuffing and tonight I wedged a load of it in the gap in the bedroom window. Is there any other household item I can use to stop the draughts coming in through these gaps? We are waiting for our landlord to get new flooring for our kitchen and bathroom, I don't think he will stretch to new windows, especially since he is getting married early next year!

If the gaps are where the window frame meets the wall, could you not use expansion foam? Just be careful as it 'grows' massively.
