    well it all turned up today and to be honest I really don't think I will use it, especially the "one" long skinny curtain they have sent me...... ??? no idea why I shall call them...

    like the bed cover and pillow cases, rest is bit too .... well can't think of the word really....

    Any ideas what I should do with the remainder of the bits...

    Two cushions

    a Throw

    and one curtain at the moment lol... although I am sure it will turn into two :-)

    My Halo Living cushion turned up today, but I was out. [UPS kindly wrote who the parcel was from on the delivery card].

    Anyway, having looked at the cushions on their website, I can't say I'm particularly excited about the next delivery attempt on Monday.

    It would be nice if I was pleasantly surprised.

    PS What does the cushion look like Dipsy?

    If my cushion is the same, DD1 will be very pleased as she likes all things to do with Japan - except the sushi!

    Thanks Dipsy. Will let you know tomorrow.
