I've found that if you turn the central heating off for longer periods, the bill is cheaper, but obviously the house is much colder. You can wear more woolly jumpers to keep warm, but beware, in this cold and damp environment, the toxic black mold starts to grow on walls, ceilings and especially bathrooms, all adding up to making your life generally more unpleasant and unhealthy. :cry:

You could open a window to ventilate your mouldy air out
And, then let the colder air in, you just can't win.:cursing:

Ventilation is the only realistic answer to preventing it.(assuming you have no underlying dampcourse problems or leaky gutters)
Our heating only goes on sporadically, but we do like windows open, particually at night.
Two main sources of moisture in our house , the bathroom and kitchen.
I never fitted an extractor over the cooker (my bad) so Sundays in particular, there is a lot of steam build up on cupboards. Usual answer is to put a desktop fan on the bench and open the window nearby. Its a bit back to front but for some reason, my wife hates extractors with a vengeange, i don't get it but ...

Bathroom, we bathe daily but always leave a door open or a window just ajar (again, there's no extraction in there) , luckily we have never suffered mould in this house.

Feeling rather glad we're around £700 in credit with the energy suppliers, this year coming (and the last few months) seem to be conspiring against ordinary folk
I can see petrol going up again, gas, electric, food, these are tough times for the less fortunate.

Surely mold only grows in poorly ventilated situations?
