Oh no, I'm not one of them. It's a very airy hoose, this, the way it's
laid out. The artificial air fresheners don't fill the room, I just
put them near doors so you just get a nice whiff as you enter/leave.
I'd rather it smelled of something than nothing :) Our heating's off
all day and night as well, just on for the evening. I hate stifling
heat, it dries your skin as well as being stuffy.
