    jelly, are they for concert posters? You should be able to get them off the shelf if that's the case.

    One is a concert poster, but it is a full size one from a venue. It's about 4.5 feet wide (guesswork - see below). When you say off the shelf, where from?

    On my list of things to do, is measure the posters I have/want framing. I wanted to do it this weekend, but packing & stuff got in the way...:o

    I also spent half a day at a mates new flat helping him paint. When I arranged to visit him last time he cheekily put "you can help paint" at the end of his text. He was genuinely surprised when I turned up with painting clothes & spent half a day there! Dunno why, I'm not going to visit & watch him paint, plus, that's what friends do! Apparently a load of other mates who say "I'll help" have been noticeably silent with him.

    Need to keep him sweet though, someones gotta help me load the van on moving day!:D

    It's this:

    I'll have my records stored in it, interspersed with other ornamental type stuff/lights etc. :) I wanted to measure it first, & the gaps are the perfect size for vinyl!:cool:

    Lemon, watch out - it's precisely that unit that we wanted, ordered last week, and has now been discontinued. Not available online or in any of the London shops either, so if you do want it, buy it quickly if you can.

    I've met you! That's nothing like you in any sense whatsoever! LIR's description is a much more accurate one.

    Hope things settle down and you get a couple of weeks of relative calm before he makes an appearance.

    OH would mind, and I would mind if too many randoms turned up to meet the baby in a bombsite, too......

    Oh you poor lamb. That is sad. As you now have a bit more control over the sickness you deserved a few good weeks after a very trying pregnancy.

    Not too long now I hope when you will have your Nice baby. Love to you.

    Alternatively, I could get a grip and stop being upset about absolutely nothing. So I'm going to try to do that! I'm looking forward to meeting him, too.

    Here's a link to one of the posters - ebay auction ends in 4 days!:

    Description says 66cmx125 cm.
    I have 1 poster that is a lot bigger!

    Blimey... that's big. My Marlon Brando is really big and I had it mounted on a board, possibly not a great solution mind. How about these people?

    http://www.tradeframes.co.uk/index.html perhaps give them a call and see what they say. Even if you don't use them you should be able to get pricing ideas.

    One of my rels is a picture framer. If you have lots to do it may be worth learning the skills and DIYing them.

    Noooo... those are the Ikea shelves I've been looking at too. Expedit could be the new mushroom...

    They are, apparently, discontinuing the entire expedit range. So NPs wanting them should get a move on.

    Bookmarked!
    I've got another signed lemon jelly tour poster (my friend was their tour manager, so it is personalised). I got that board mounted & framed. That cost over £60 several years ago, so I'm a bit worried.

    When I've measured the posters, I'll mention it here.
