Curtains, where to buy?

Try Argos - search for cream lined curtains - cheap and quite acceptable - I have just bought some too.
Great also cause they are lined

Where I live (just outside Nottingham) there's a curtain factory that opens to the public one Saturday a month and sells curtain fabric, ready-made curtains and a few blinds, curtain poles etc. For good quality, ready-made, lined curtains, they sell full-length pairs for £15, and half-length for about half that. However, they don't have a huge selection of ready-made curtains, so there isn't always anything that fits the bill. Perhaps it's worth seeing if there's anywhere like that where you live.

My Mum has just 'done-up' her two bedrooms and bought everything from Wilkinsons and it looks totally fab and cost next to nothing!

If you have one in your area The Range is an excellent shop for curtains

Hey! Thanks everyone. I ended up at Asda found 3 curtain poles reduced from £17 to £7 each, then at the till they were £5.50 each, great stuff.

Then went round the charity shops and found some great curtains.

Just what I needed some cheap curtains and poles, especially as this house just seems like a money pit at the moment, know what I mean?!?!

Well done you - nice to get a bargain - I did the argos ones and have only one set left to buy - I have 3 windows and a patio doors and an archway to do so doing it slowly as lots and lots so its nice to get the cheaper ones.

Thanks to Busybody and rev229 for the Dunelm Mills online tip. Never heard of this before. They can't have any stores in our neck of the woods but just spotted some fab curtains for my son's room. £32 and I was going to be over £120 in John Lewis for something very similar. Nice natural £5 throws too. I'm sure if I keep looking I'll spot something for the dining room as well!

Thanks guys.

If anyone lives within 20 miles of Nettlebed then I would really recommend going to the Sue Ryder Sales which are held every 3 weeks. they have everything (and I do mean everything) sorted out into departments and their curtains are in a separate portacabin and are labelled with their size by tying an old tie aound them and stapling a label with the size written on. They are also sorted according to size.

I have had some very good bargains from there.

I expect that their other homes in the Uk do the same type of sales.
