I've got these things

 

 

They're handy but the stupid idiot who made and fitted them ripped me right off and some of them now don't open properly so I need new ones.  I'm thinking wooden ones might be the next step but they're quite expensive.

 

 

 

WOW, just been discussing buying some of these (vertical blinds) for the kitchen with a friend. What a strange and small world!

Oh yes, I have curtains too.  Can't forget about those lol.  

 

I need a nice new pair of curtains for the living room.  It'll take me forever to decide on a pair though because when I know I have to look at something every day it means it has to be the perfect choice.

 I know what you mean. I looked for ages for my livingroom curtains, but it was worth it and I love them.

Rub it in why don't you 

 

Mine are getting on my nerves so much tonight that I'm ready to rip them down.  

 

Aww, didn't mean to rub it in, Ells   

I'm really pleased with ours and I was just thinking we've had some for at least 6 years now and they're as new.  So really I'm just recommending the brand and the service.

 

If mine were hanging badly I'd rip 'em down too otherwise I'd be a raging mad woman every time I caught sight of them.

i'm having to decide at the moment. We re decorated before Christmas - the room is totally neutral so the worlds my oyster when it comes to colour.

 

What did you go for?

Soozy Woo

Soozy I haven't replaced them yet  My OH hates our new sofa so wants to get another new one and I kind of agree with him so the rest of the house is being updated first and by summer I hope to get a new sofa and because I don't exactly know what colour I'll get then I'll leave the curtains until that is here.

 

When we got rid of our leather recliners he kept saying 'never again, no more recliners' and now that we have a normal fabric sofa he hates everything about it and keeps asking when we're getting the recliners  I win!

Throw them in the washing machine.  I know you're not supposed to be I do mine all the time!  I put them in a pillow case and they come out pretty wrinkly but hang them while wet and they're grand in no time

I washed them and they got all frayed Ells. They're quite cheap material. Great tip about the pillow case  maaaan wish I'd thought of that

I'm considering roller blinds as they seem to be the most efficient. In my research I stumbled upon this lovely facebook page of a blinds company here in the UK and I wanted to ask if any of you has tried out this company https://www.facebook.com/blindsuk.net ? I love their posts and the prices seem to be quite fair. Any opinions ? Thank you so much!

expensive but too cheap looking for the discerning buyer
