Though ventilation does seem the most effective method...though perhaps by not leaving all your windows and doors open.

I get condensation in the bedroom (I sleep alone)
I open the window wide after drawing back the curtains.
It clears within an hour, and if you shut the door whilst the window is open you dont lose much heat from the rest of the house.
I open other windows for a short time in the middle of the day.
Fresh air is as important as warmth

Forty years ago we lived in an Air Ministry house in Whitby. The only forms of heating were a coal fire in the lounge, a heated towel rail in the bathroom and very small wall-mounted electric fires in the kitchen and bedrooms. The windows had metal frames and were single glazed and we lived about 200 yards from the sea.
It was absolutely bloody freezing in Winter (though we were hardy, then, and barely noticed it) and all our windows used to be covered in condensation which often froze - on the inside. We found a product that was supposed to be like double-glazing. It was plastic sheeting, like a thick cling-film, that you taped over your windows then heated with a hair dryer until it went taut. It really did reduce the draughts and cold air and it stopped the condensation. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was called and I don't know if you can still get it.

so you just rub it on?
wouldnt it look dirty and smeared?
well you only use a bit... and use newspaper so it kind blends in..... hardwork but it does work:
and I am not taking the mick so you get nice clean windows when it suds up... it really works: or a light bulb in a biscuit time will do the job: say a 20 watt one... with holes in the tin lid so it wont get too hot and cheap to run...

Thats exactly what I do Margaret, and your spot on about fresh air, I often, in all weathers, lean on the window sill and take deep breathes a few times a day, blows the cobwebs away

lol do you not go out ?
Jaysay has severe medical problems which restrict him to his home for most of the time.
I am the same to a much lesser extent.
When you get old the risk of heart attack and strokes increases when the temperature drops. It is something to do with blood thickening.
I am not instructed to stay in but only go out in winter for unavoidable reasons (doc, chiropody etc), and when being within 4 walls ' gets to me'
I am fortunate to have lovely views from my windows and a pc to chat on.
PS read this week that persons with COPD are to be given email warnings to stay in when low temperatures are forecast

OO that has just made me think of the thread a while back - about what you imagine people to look like. I honestly thought that Jaysay was a young man in his 30's.
