Soappie - stew sounds perfect. I'm still hungry, i think it was eating quite late that did it as I was too hungry really. Might make a bit of toast

I can't decide whether to have a bath....I'm chilly but also very tired. Main thing is i can't be faffed to dry my hair and don't wan to go to bed with it wet!

Think I'm in one of those too tired to make a decision moods...

Likklegibbon can't believe your going outside when it's so cold, this is my 1st time with ww and I'm determined to get rid of the flab, it's working so far but you sound like you've done this before-do you think it works long term?

SarahShattered

My suggestion is down the side of the sofa or chairs?

Valli - How about putting a curtain up of some sort in the doorway? Thats what I'm going to do in here (hopefully at the weekend)...

speaking of which....

(ooo....just found out Abakhan online takes Paypal )

I have material to make my curtains and all it says on the label is "house" :rolleyes: (I think looking at the website its just upholstery material which is supposed to be dry clean only) How much material should I leave as spare to allow for shrinkage? The doorsways are 2m high and I'm putting the curtains on curtain wire and hooks (no room to fit dowelling). I was thinking of cutting them at 2.3m so there is 10cm to create a pocket at the top for the wire and 20cm at the bottom to create a weight & draft excluder Also should I trim the material? Its about 1.5m wide and the doorways are only about 80cm wide.

Nicki - if I were you I would wash the fabric first so that you know how much it is going to shrink (unless its something very exciting you'll probably get away with it). Do you know what it's made from? Don't trim it - make the header pocket and finish the sides. The extra width will form gathers on the wire and add insulation (and make sure it goes right to the edges. once you've done this, hang it up and see what you've got left in length. I make my door curtains slightly too long (depending where they are) to act as a draught excluder, but if there is loads left, work out what you need for the hem, and take the rest off to make a draught excluder to match - fill with (clean) old clothes or the inside of an old pillow or cushion. Have fun!

Hugs/congrats/get well soon etc. as appropriate. Have just finished work (got home at 8pm, logged back on) and skimmed the thread (mind you, that took a while :rolleyes: ).

Rach & Polka - turns out my Wednesday meeting is 6-8.30pm, so probably not the best timing. I'll let you know about Nov 4th/5th when I have that sorted!
