Mumof2 Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Hope BD leaves you alone today.

Dusty's DS3 - Happy Birthday.

Curtains on ebay - I've bought and sold curtains. Good quality welll made curtains will always have good resale values. I sold the Laura Ashley ballet that we inherited when we bought the house for £40 and I bought Laura Ashley Neisha Curtains for the dining room at £138. They were brand new! I had a quote from Laura Ashley for £450 so was very pleased with that one!

DH is away. DS3 has woken up with badly infected eczema around his right knee. The skin is really hot to touch so yet another trip to the medical professionals is in order.

I have the Insulation Surveyor coming round this afternoon. I had to crack the whip at DS1 & 2 because the loft is acessed through their bedrooms.

Best get on....

Valli . Anyine sold/bought curtains on e bay?
I bought some Laura Ashley curtains for the bargain price of £45 on buy it now,:D (a same size identical pair went for £143, so very pleased) I paid £10 delivery and was happy with the price. They were 80" wide and 90" long and fully lined. I bought some interlined ones 2 years ago (fleece lining inbetween curtain and lining) and paid £16 postage cos they weighed a ton. HTH

thanks for that - so I'll weigh the curtains and calculate a postage then and get them on - they are huge and lined so I think I'll wait for a free listing day and start them at somethign like £25 to 'invite' bids.

Happy Birthda y Mumof2



off to do an errand now...blowing a gale round here though - - and the recycling's out :eek: there'll be boxes and bags EVERYWHERE. I was hoping they'd be here before I go, then I could tether my blue box down - but no show as yet!
