My house was blardy freezing last year, Its a mid terrace with crappy council windows that are really draughty.
I want to get ready dfor winter.
I've heard that people put tin foil behind radiators? Is this effective and it might sound like a silly question but how do I do it?
Also, The boys have blinds in the bedroom, these are really thin, so I want to put some lined curtains in their room.
I have just measured and if some body would be so kind to tell me what measurements I need to be buying i'd nbe grateful.
Window 1 is a 52" drop (can't have any longer due to a built in shelf unit under the window) and a 50" width, this is without gather and the window goes right to the wall (don't know if this makes a difference)
Window 2 is a 56" drop (this will sit just under the window ledge don't want it much longer as I feel it could look wierd in comparison to the other curtain lenght, or , maybe not)
and it's a 40" width again this is without any gather.
I'm really confused.
What else do I need to know in preparing myself for winter, and what do you do?. Do you stockpile tinned food for instance?
Tips and advice much appreciated
