Preparing for winter III

MarilynMonroe_2

In my passage I've just got a normal track above the door and side window, with a 90 x90 lined curtain up. x

Hi Rosie

My bedroom pole is especially .... wobbly - and it's been fine. HTH:)

I maybe will give it a try then using light fleeces. Was worried about the curtain pole, but maybe it won't add enough weight to pull it down!

I don't have any track at all. Is there an easy way to attach a door curtain without using a track? As I say, the lintels are incredibly hard to drill into and if there is another solution it would be great.
The door between the porch and hallway doesn't close properly either, so I should maybe tackle that. Mind you, if I put up a thick door curtain that should help a lot.

Rosie - is there a wall at either side of the door?

If so, an extending shower rod should work


They come in all sizes so hopefully you'd be able to find one that fits with a bit of hunting around online

Motherease do bedwetter pants whch fit teens so should fit DS.. the thing is... they take longer to dry than a bedsheet which you can easily hang over a door! My 11 y/o has the pampers underjams they are usually on some offer or other in supermarkets

I found this bed wetting alarm very effective in helping a bed wetter to stop : http://www.wetstop3.co.uk/

Conservatory men came to inspecct today...

landlady is going to get a shock....:p

its coming away from the house, every single seal has split, gutterings shot, 8 windows need replacing as theyve blown/cracked and underneath each one needs insulating and finishing as it was never done.

i reckon thats easily £2k worth of work?

oouch... glad its not our house now!

oh well, should all be done this week and the guys said it would fix the issue with it being too hot in summer and freezing in winter.

was in wilkinson's this morning and got 2 draught excluders for £1.50 each. they have a selection of colours and patterns (non particularly stylish thb) and are quite lightweight affairs, but should go some way to helping keep the living room cosy....

Gettingtherequickly

Had a thought this morning when I was wrapping some of the gifts I have bought for a friends 70th. She loves Christmas and as we are now on the final strait to it yet again (I think personally it is far too commercial now), I suddenly remembered a joke gift I bought for one of my uncles one year. Got some strange looks, but I had the last laugh when he phoned me one day over the holdiay to say that he was very greatful for it at 3am that morning-indigestion tablets! Think we should all check supply, as despite our best efforts, there will be consumption of rich foods for a couple of weeks:D

That is a brilliant idea!!!!!!! And I have one in the bathroom that we don't use as we don't have a working shower. Just never took it down, so I can do that now and see how it fits.
So, I could make a door curtain just using some heavy fabric that I have. Would that be better than fleece? And can I do it without buying curtain tape? Maybe I should invest in some actually, as it will last me for years.

You could just stitch down a turnover that's big enough for the curtain to slide onto to over the shower rail. Hope you know what I mean:o
