    Sex content in Hugh Grant. I thought that was a few years ago!

    p.s. Squizz - I can send you a template for a dining room chair cover. It's like Billie says - mine were kind of hexagonal stitched to make triangular pockets across two corners and a bit of elastic across the other two.

    Has brightened up here although the wind is still very strong for July!

    Hand's off Sally you have a new man - so oldies like me need to dream of the ones like Hugh Grant.

    I like Robert Downey Jnr and John Cusack, even had a thing for Alan Rickman about 10 years ago.

    My bloke is lovely, a real sweetie and I think quite cute but the character he reminds me of is Dangermouse's sidekick Penfold (obviously without the Terry Scott voice!)

    As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

    Red Squirrel - a few years ago I decided I didn't really like my dining chairs which were basically a cushion seat (easy to take out and cover using a staple gun on the underneath). The backs are wood quite square (two edges and a bar across the top and half way). So she cut a piece of material which was long enough from the top of the chair to the seat and another top of the chair to almost the floor. Sewed across the top and down the sides to the chair seat, and hemmed the one side to the floor and they just slip over my dining room chairs. Easy to slip off for washing as well. May have not described that very well but hope you get the jist!! Billie x

    Thanks Billie - that sounds quite straightforward! What's on them at the moment is quite similar except the back bit tucks into the seat bit at the front and is stapled underneath at the back. I'm going to take one of the covers off and see how easy it looks to do the same thing.
