My dining room window is 4ft wide and the curtains in there are a width and half which is 72"( the fabric is 48" wide )....so 66" is only 6 " less than that but mine are very full when closed....they were originally on track that overlapped but they are now on a pole....if you have overlapping tracking then I would get 72" , if it is a pole then 66" will be fine....

Just double check the drop, make sure you measure down from where the track or pole is....nothing worse than curtains that are too short.....once again if it is a pole then the length will be from under the pole, if it is a track then they will be slightly above it( to hide the track)

Thanks, its 54 from the pole

PM you need to measure drop from the pole to somewhere between the windowsill and the radiator (where you would like the curtain to finish) and also width of the pole as curtains usually go a few inches past where the actual window is (or you would get too much light thru).. ideal curtains should be 1.5 x width for a good gather up to 2 x width if you want them really "full". so 66 inches would do a 4ft window but you wouldnt have a great deal of gather in them, but this may not worry you if its for a bedroom, as when you draw them its dark and you go to sleep lol

My bedrrom is really strange. Thye backdoor opens inwards off the bedroom and the rad is on a differnt wall to the window. the bed is under the window as theres nowhere else to put it.Its always difficult drawing the curtains just above the bed as they get caught on the headboard.

yeh she has her moments:rotfl:

she even asked this morning if you liked the picture
& has been asking what you said about
she was very pleased when i told her you'd posted to say you liked it.

hopefully you have a pleasant time with DH tomorrow, some time to gather your thoughts so to speak.

i'm sure you mum will be ok too with such a lovely daughter looking over her, it'll just take some time

What a considerate little girl you have, so sweet and thoughtful of her. Thank you. Hopefully hubby and I are having a day to ourselves tomorrow, no plans to see mum, just to telephone her to check she is OK. Just taken her home and she seems OK but very tired, hopefully she will start to sleep a little better now.


Think that is what made it almost a special day, knowing that dad would have loved to see the sun shining and all the cakes at the church hall afterwards, especially lemon drizzle!:)

MAGS - more fantastic posts. Everything will be fine when baby arrives there is never a perfect time. Your DD2 will do a fab job as she has you behind her every step of the way :j:T

SND so glad yesterday went so well :A Your dad would have been so proud of you all. Very important now to get some you time perhaps get back into your Yoga:A as you get so much out of it.

DSisters Granddaughter is doing well they are still waiting for some of the tests to come back but she is doing really well. DSister a little concerned about her eyes but as she is so young I told her they are still developing. Thanks for asking everyone:A

BS - Wedgewood exp sopunds fab:T

MT your DD sounds a real sweety :A

jax them prices sound good for the Park Inn in York, we were looking over a month ago for a weekend date for a double room couldn't get one for cheaper than £200 a night :eek::eek::eek: we were looking at June/July so went on to check and they are indeed a lot cheaper than when we looked. We have their loyalty card and had an email book one night at Park Inn then qualify for a free night anywhere else, so we booked a night in Watford for £69 when we going out for a meal with friends(bit on the expensive side for a rm in watford but what we really want is the night in York), means we will book the York one as our free night:D;)
