Hope to have been of help and Happy New Year x


Hi Jennifer,
Think we all have the same problem at the moment. Our radiators are fine (if you sit right beside them), but when you turn them off the house gets very cold in no time at all. My hubby has draught excluder on doors (all doors), tinfoil at back of radiators, etc. and house is still cold. Roll on Easter.
