Is this the most boring post for a Friday? Probably...


...as the days/nights are getting cooler condensation has started to appear on our windows. We live in a Victorian flat with single glazing and when it's really cold we wake in the morning to find condensation running down our windows and pooling on the window sills (this happens even in the rooms we are not sleeping in). The window sill in our bedroom is getting damaged as a result.


I don't think we generate any more moisture than the average 3 person family - yesterday, for example, the windows were open all day, two showers, one baby bath, kettle boiled a few times, rice boiled for 10mins, no laundry out to dry, had the dehumidifier on and still there was condensation on the windows this morning and the night wasn't even that cold.


Any advice as to what we can do to reduce the amount of condensation on our windows, apart from leaving the windows open all day (too wasteful if the heating is on and no good when we're at work)?


Thanks

We had same problem before we got double glazed and solved it using this kind of thing

    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?  
    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
