12/365: A dehumidifier changed my life.

Last night I purchased a dehumidifier, today I picked it up, and I'm already obsessed with it. 

It's so fascinating seeing the effect it is already having on our flat. After leaving it on in our room for a bit, our usually steamy windows were dry and clear, the air felt more breathable (it probably helps it doubles up as an air purifier too), and there is already a sizeable amount of moisture building up inside!

How cool is that?! When you see the small puddle of water in the machine, it is hard to picture that that is all around us all the time... in the walls, in the air, everywhere. It should hopefully make it a lot easier to dry our clothes indoors but will become more important when the rope caulk (like a lengthy blue tack substance) comes in a few days so we can self-insulate our dodgy draughty windows. 

The increased weather temperature in the last few days is a welcome change from the freezing cold we've had to deal with recently and you really feel it too when in a listed building like ours with single-glazing. More importantly, it should help our wallets too because, I'm sure I speak for many, the price of energy is very noticeable this time of year. 

I wonder if the King checks his Smartmeter and gawks at the bill of Buckingham Palace?
