Hi Darcy, like your other supporters on here, I was hoping for a whoosh for you this week...Yet another pound, you are a mighty woman to persist. You're right of course, you have found a system that works for you and you're sticking to your guns. Proper order. Slow and steady wins the race... Well done on getting back into the pool, I'm hoping to get back to swimming again soon.
Good luck framing out your attic,but could I suggest one thing that's great value and that is loft insulation. I recently had my entire attic upgraded to 20 inches deep and the house is snug & cosy ever since. I got mine from B & Q - there's all kind of deals going at the moment, now is the time to tackle it before the builder closes it off. Get him to do behind the plasterboard walls. You'll be amazed at the difference.
Best of luck,
Conor
