Full length thermal curtains needed
Does anyone have any (cheap) 2m drop thermal curtains they don't need anymore? I'm so cold I don't even care if they are mismatched.
I've just moved into a house that has beautiful sun exposure but is freezing at night. I have a heat pump on 23℃, but there is an un draped aluminium glass door right next to it and a wall right in front of it, so there is virtually no heating at night. The curtains on the other windows are all short and summer weight, and I suspect, there is no insulation in the ceiling, despite the slab of polystyrene I can see through the hole in the attached garage ceiling. I managed to acquire a set of thermals for my sons room but the rest of the house is beyond me.
Whoever put the heat pump in should be hung drawn and quartered. They could only have put it in a worse place by putting it in the garage.
I think I'm also going to have to get a window vac. 3 hours with the windows open and they are still soaking wet.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
