I keep my VFT in a propagator, but it was on a north facing windowsill,

not
getting enough sunlight, and growing spindly. I put it on a south facing
sill in full sun a few days ago, but it looks cooked. The moss was quite
warm and smelly and some of the as yet unformed trap leaves are going

brown.
I think it's had it. Please advise anyone?

Keep it on the south facing windowsill, but take it out of the
propagator. They need sunlight more than warmth. Mine all live happily
outside.
Have a look at http://www.sarracenia.com/faq.html for plenty of useful
info.

I have moved it outside into a position that is normally in full sun for
most of the day. Unfortunately today has been cold and windy with heavy rain
showers. (Notts)
