quadrant in wardrobe?

Ikea sell glass tops for cabinets now...will be back with available sizes shortly...160x48 cm (£15) 80x48cm (£10) and 40x48 cm (£5) you must use a lot of hairspray if you keep one cabinet especially for that :rotfl:

I have done all the ironing (I don't iron towels either - but I do iron tea towels) so when the ironing board has dried (I steam iron but I like it to dry before I put it away because it lives under the stairs) washed and dried pots (not all...work in progress) and got out veggy chilli (mine) and cottage pie (DS and DD) for tomorrow's tea. Found my 'best' reading glasses - keep pair 2 by the bed for reading there -

Quadrant is to nail down the side of the hardboard my dad put down to cover the floorboards when the carpet had to come out due to a moth infestation... there's a small gap... ... might get in... come up through floorboards...

Thanks for the info on the glass - cabinet is 25" by 18" so I think I'll have to have some cut specially. The top is getting damaged and it's a nightmare to restore... And clearly I need that amount of storage for hairspray - it's the best thing for dealing with uninvited creepy crawlies!
