Mouldy - I've been trying to get rid of my old boiler for ages, but he won't eat the mushrooms...

I hope that people are remembering to leave some ventilation whilst they're busy packing filler and sandbags into every crack, cranny and crevice. There have been too many cases of folk suffocating or dying of Carbon Monoxide poisoning because they wrapped the house up so tight there wasn't adequate fresh air. Please leave one window accessible, you may need the air or the escape route.

If you are going to seal up all your windows, please get a CO monitor, they can be got quite cheaply from hardware stores and local councils.
