Wise Old Thumper
my dads just been round and he said in here feels really damp. he could feel the damp in the air.
i always complain it's draughty and have for ages, so i put duvets round the doors etc.. and turns out i've blocked the natural air flow
i complained the walls had damp on them.. and now i know why.
also turns out the boiler was on the wrong setting so it kept clicking off before the thermostat in the actual lounge, so when i thought it was a certain temperature in the house, it actually wasn't because of the boiler.
so we have all been living in really damp, cold air for ages now. makes sense why me and o/h are always ill, why i feel such a draught all the time. the air is so cold, like in a supermarket when you walk past the freezers,. that is how bad it has been.. and i just thought it was this house.
my dads sorted the boiler to be in sync with the house and i've turned the thermostat up which i wasn't doing because i thought it made matt worse. well he feels the same temperature now as he did when it was on a lower number..
i didn't know you change the setting on the boiler. i thought aslong as the thermostat was on a certain number it would be stable in here. so when we had all that snow etc.. we were soooooo cold, i was crying i was that cold, but i didn't change the temperature because i didn't want to make matt worse.
even maisie has been sneezing lately, and ches and maisie have been to the vets a few times because i thought they had respiratory problems but he could never find anything wrong with them.. but i should have known because when i change their bedding, the towels underneath are ice cold and damp.
i bet i've made them all worse, especially bisc and matt. maybe that's why they couldn't get better no matter what we did.
i feel so guilty.
i'm so stupid. i never let anyone come round so no-one knew really. i've seen my mum and dad a few times but it wasn't obvious to my dad then.
and when my o/h goes to stay with family he's fine, and then he gets ill as soon as he's back. and i still didn't think. we thought we were ill from the hay as we both have hayfever.
and i don't leave the house for weeks or months at a time, so no wonder i have been ill for so long.
i can still feel a slight draught but my dad says it's because the house has never been warm enough to dry all the damp out. so i can feel a slight draught now, but it feels like a normal one now, like other peoples houses do near doors when it's cold. we have the front and back door in the same room so it's always going to be colder than most houses, but even so, can't believe i didn't think.
poor pets. bisc and matt had respiratory problems anyway, i bet i just made them so much worse. i moved here to get them indoors and keep them stable and well.
