Are we allowed to murder people who are smug over their well insulated houses and the pittance they are paying to keep them warm? I say yes :p

I think we probably spent about £90-100 on gas/electricity last week in the cold snap.
 
our heating packed up about 2 months ago, only just got it fixed. didn't cost us a penny in heating over the cold spell, though it was quite mild here, relatively speaking (-2 or 3 was probably as cold as it got) log burner kept the living room and hall warm. rest of the rooms we just had to wrap up more........and even if the boiler was still broken i'd rather have the cold than this crappy wet, damp, miserable, pukey weather we have now :p
 
a lot warmer in the living room but probably would give the heading a blast if i wasn't under this heated throw (goes from slightly warm to wow that's very warm :)), the dehumidifier keeps it all dry i am drawing about 500 watts but that's also a plasma tv ect ect

So there is damp in the corner of my bedroom which I noticed earlier in the year after clearing out boxes.

Today I noticed a clear grown damp patch on the wall that has expanded much further, and now also a clear gap in the wall itself like the bricks have shifted or something at the base of the wall just above skirting and around that base can see the liquid actually shining and is wet. So to me looks pretty serious, will check outside tomorrow and tell my landlord, thats no paint job for him I think.

I assume the recent cold spell expanded the problem.

I'm getting a LOT of condensation in the garage and conservatory thanks to the sudden change in temperatures, and that keeps causing me stress from strange collections of water. But yours sounds like something a bit more serious.

I had to turn up the dehumidifier in my gym. I’ve never seen anything close to the level of condensation in my gym and shed. Must have been the sudden temperature change. Objects still really cold, warm air.
