    In my kitchen/dining room I have cream cotton curtains hanging at the patio doors and they are soooo boring (well the whole colour scheme throughout is boring. I want to dye my curtains RED, do you think that using a washing machine dye would work?

    Will give it a go and see what they turn out like. Got 2 sets to do as there are 2 sets of patio doors but figured dye would be cheaper than buying new curtains. Will order dye from amazon with cashback voucher.:money:

    Thank you , they are not even in the same hospital either. That would have made things easier. As it is I am not visiting the elderly ones as I just don't have any spoons left.

    Thanks too everyone else. I won't be flying rest of the week as there is just too much going on but really do appreciate your thoughts.

    Good morning all xx
    Happy brthday Furball xx

    This morning I stripped DD's bed and put it in the wash and did HHI before the school run. I have just come back from Makro and bought cake boards. I also bought chip cones....DD asks for a cone of chips on the rare occassion I go to the chip shop, but they don't do them, so I thought I would get the cones, make fresh oven chips and stick them into a cone for her....healthy and novelty!!

    Plodding on, need food now, catch you soon......xx
