unixgirl, I am so glad I am not the only one with this problem. I find it really difficult to get rid of shoes - plus I have a weakness for heels, even though I never wear them as I can't walk in them! Not very MSE!0

Unixgirluk you saved me a job as I was going to upload a pic too!
Halfcost order came and agree that the foil curtains are thin but quite sturdy, can't remember who it was whos daughter was worried it would look like tinfoil and I have to say yes it would! Going to put mine on my back door so no-ones going to see it.
REALLY pleased with the cellular blankets I got from there for £1, they are quite a good size and 100% cotton. Glad I got 3 so I have one to wash, one to use and one spare.............well we all know how new babies like to throw up!!Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

Oh gosh never said that did I that I think to they will rustle - I have bought them for front and back doors so not a problem there.
Shoe cull was for that reason lucy lots of high heels which I sadly cannot wear any more, plus the odd ones I loved which were just beyond redemption at all and had to be binned, but at least the charity shop were happy with the good ones.Need to get back to getting finances under control now kin kid at uni as savings are zilch

I would have made the same mistake! The picture looked like you got it all, think that would be my only criticism of them and AF you dont get much of a description.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

prepareathome, Pips Mum and unixgirluk, thank you for posting about the curtains:)
Do they have header tape on them? Might be able to persuade DD they're not too bad if they do. Although she informed me that it may make it look as if they're growing ca####is if they hang them at their front window:o0 -
Ha ha ha ha! Way to make an extra income I suppose abwsco! [STRIKE]Nope no header tape[/STRIKE], (see next but one post!) they are very similar to those blankets they pop round the marathon runners at the end if you know what I mean!Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T
