    @badmemory I shall report back my findings in a week or two. 

    Well it was meant to come at the weekend but I just got a message to say it’s coming tomorrow. So I’m super glad that I didn’t pay for next day delivery now. 

    I’ll have DH have a look at the extractor fan. But in all likelihood we’ll call in his dad - former electrical engineer.

    Just put the dehumidifier to work in the playroom/ kitchen. It says the humidity level is 76%. 

    Eek. Think it’s going to be working hard today then.

    We have ordered one but not arriving until next week. I'm starting to think our humidity levels will be pretty high too and dread to think how much water it is going to pull out in the early stages.

    So outside the room is now higher than 70%, could it be time to move it around a bit?

    So the room is now down to 61%. You can see how exciting my life is. 

    In other news, I won £25 on the premium bonds. So do I put it in my savings account or reinvest it in premium bonds?
