Probably many will want to be participants in the trial but none volunteer to be the Control.
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

Someone on York freecycle was offering some old loft insulation the other day- with the push for better insulation and more people doing loft conversions rather than move, there must be lots of it about? Try a wanted ad on freecycle?

Bubblewrap works well as a good insulator if you can get a load cheap. Just shove a load into the cavity.

If often seen huge rolls of it going on ebay for next to nowt.

I agree, the duvet wouldn't be advisable - soo as it got damp it would end up stinking - unless maybe a feather duvet! - althought a tad expensive no doubt.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Just how is anyone supposed to have a quiet skive in the shed with all the mice popping the bubbles in the wrappers? ::)

Heh Heh - but are mices' thumbs big enough to pop them?! ;D

Don't blame them - can't resist popping them myself, they do work well but would be all popped by time I got them in.

On a serious note though - BQ etc sell loft/roof insulation which is basically a tin foil version of bubblewrap for 30 odd quid a roll! :P
