Draughty

Anyone know where I can buy draught excluders?...you know the ones, the ones that look like big filled sausagey-shaped things that you put at bottom of doors to keep the draughts out. TA Muchly.

[ummmm]

I'd look on Amazon.

To make sure the excluder stayed tight against the bottom of the door, I cut the leg off an old pair of jogging bottoms and having sewn one end up I filled it with a couple of bags of rice (Tesco everyday value rice £0.45p for 1 kg bag) and sew up the top. The result is very flexible and good and heavy.

A few here on E-Bay:

Many Thanks Both for a couple of DIY ideas and I'll look on Amazon anyway too.

Many Thanks Tambo and Scorp - I should have guessed about Wilkos - sorry Ark, I can't use ebay.

Perhaps I should have mentioned I had bought an excluder for £9 off Amazon and it was so light it just rolled away from the door and the draught just kept on coming into the room, hence my heavy rice filled one that moves nowhere.

An old pair of tights packed with tins of rice puddings takes some beating.
Then eat the rice puddings in the summer when the draughts have gone.
