Saw that, was impressed with the kid, but the whole programme format is getting stale.

Not relevant to me BTW.

The Den is for a certain type of business, in a certain position .... and a lot of people they pump through are just camera fodder.

I know it wasn't you

If your jeans are specifically named/sized, then ebay's always worth a look in case somebody's selling some old ones they've hardly/never worn.

Cheers silvercar. Can't say M+S would be on my list of places to look for jeans, but I'll give it a go!

My DD loves Levis. She has however been OK with a pair of Whitestuff jeans .

I think per una jeans may be a bit too old for you..I wear them!

I'd not bother for the latter bit. Too complex.
If you're happy the amount is OK, then it's up to them if they buy lots of pies/chips.
Also, it'd then require you to be able to check .... too complex.
Let them buy pies if that's their choice.

*sniggers*

Jeans are jeans .... if they fit/are comfy there are no rules.

They're for sticking up and leaving ..... not for long-term up/down all day like I'd need.....

I really need to get at least my big windows sorted out .... daren't go away/leave the house without those being fitted as it's a security issue having big windows exposed night/day.

They stick at the top, then have velcro at the bottom (you stick the other half of the velcro to the windowsill). I'm guessing some de-stickifying will be requried when they are eventually replaced, but I'm not a great fan of my uPVC frames anyway.

V quick and easy to put up. Look ok too for the price.

They've been around for some years - and are great for people decorating/having work done, who don't want the house to look unoccupied or full of interesting tools/copper pipes.

There have been a couple of times I could have really done with those blinds, but didn't know they existed. Now I do know of their existence, I have no need for them. I think that's what's called Sod's Law.

That's the way it goes......
I always use cheap nets and expanding poles the minute I move in anywhere ..... but my big window's too big for an expanding pole to be guaranteed to stay in place, with the weight of cheap nets, while I go away. It's a huge expanse it'd have to cover......

When I went at Xmas I had one at the patio door ...it was fine for a year while I was at home.... went away for a week, came back and the beggar was on the floor!
