Sorting that Window Condensation with the Vileda Windowmatic
We’ve finally acquiesced to the colder weather, and the central heating is running a couple of times a day. And obviously we want to keep the house as insulated as possible to keep in as much of that heat as we can.

Win £240 of logs to keep you warm this winter with Certainly Wood!
Regular readers will remember that last year we finally had a woodburner installed. Oh, the deep, contented joy. We’ve always had a gas fire in the living room, so it’s not like we were without a focal point or warmth… but I don’t think anyone will disagree that there’s just something about a real fire.
