I wandered over to the "have a look at this thread". One post directed the reader to here

One of the bedroom has pink chairs in.

They are like no chairs I have ever seen. What would NP use them for?

pretty much everything about that place I found vile.
& it appears to be little more than a series of glorified corridors anyway.
Bleurgh.

two questions:

What is SFW?

How did you know about this chair, supplier etc?

Spirit beat me to it. That was quick. A little too quick!;)

I think most people know it doesn't take much imagination to work it out.


I object to the chair with reins and stirrups on equestrian basis. I am fed up of seeing people propelling them out of the saddle, their legs pinging out, though that's not as bad as hauling them selves up balancing on reins. I suppose at least a chair doesn't have nerve endings, but I'd find it off putting, thinking about the technique tbh.


Seems quite an attractive piece of furniture other than the colour and that impossible to clean deep buttoning. You'd have to clean it with q tips, which would be boring. The non buttoned versions are much better practically I think.

Waaaaay too much information, surely?:eek:

I've already said I would be using it to practice riding trot. You wanna get upset about mud on my riding boots, up to you jelly.


Maybe that's why she has the shoe shine chair as well?

A 'trusty spanking bench'. There's nothing worse than being let down by your spanking bench at the last minute.

On the diet front... I've just dropped down from class 2 to class 1 obese according to BMI (today is my official weigh in day).:D

It's one of those weird intermediate goals... Yay! I'm no longer very fat, I'm just fat!

But it amuses me, anyway.

Congratulations! Losing as much weight as you've already done is a hell of an achievement, nice one.

Blimey - you'd have expected to be close to exchange by now!
That's a month earlier than me

I was just walking down the street and saw some thin stripey fabric and thought "hmm.... beach hut voiles for french doors ...." so wandered in. They had a choice of colours, but none that I thought were "the one" ..... then she mentioned the price..... I'd need about 4 metres wide by a 2 metre drop (guessing) .... so that's 8 sq metres. This stuff was £55/sqm.... I exited quite quickly

I can find some "make do" voile-style material on the cheap (maybe dunelm/similar) for about £20-40 I expect... then a couple of cheery stencils (£10) and some fabric paint (£5) ... job'll be a good 'un.

When it came to our living room curtains, we had a similar "how much?!" moment, because they are huge - it took 30 metres of material to make them, in the end. They don't make ready-made curtains in those sizes (11.5ft high, 14 feet wide) and John Lewis wanted several limbs to make them for us, plus the material (and lining).

But we didn't make do - I went to a fabric warehouse in the East End, one of a number of old Jewish textile sheds that are closed on Saturdays, and bought a gorgeous purple-blue silk, and made them myself. I'm not a gifted seamstress, just a stubborn cow, and if I say so myself, they look absolutely lovely, I'm really pleased with them. The silk was £9 a metre.

Would you like me to have a look for some material there for you? I'm going back the week after Easter to look for material for our bedroom. I made dark blue cotton ones for the spare room, light blue cotton with stars appliced on for Isaac's room, and I have in mind blue silk for our room. Email me.

This photo was supposed to show Isaac more than curtains, but it does show a small part of them, too - and the colour's a bit off in the photo, they are a slightly more purple-blue than this, but anyway:
