    Hi Firefly are you after curtains? Not sure if they are any good but local to me is a place called Terry's Fabrics - they do online too. Hear good things about them just never used them myself. Hope you find something

    Apologies for the stupid question, but how do you go to the 'first unread post' on a thread on this forum? I've worked out going to the last post and the first and then going to the page number... but is there not a way to go to the first unread post.... if that makes sense?

    Welcome Inking. Good luck with comping.

    Sylvia like you I had GS today. Fortunately no rain this afternoon so we made it to park. Hope you had a good time with your family Sylvia.

    April so sorry to hear about your oven. Very disappointing when you had baking plans. John Lewis voucher sounds good they do some great cakes. Love that your Mum's birthday is the same day as Queens of course the celebrations are for your Mum!

    FireFly I too have bought curtains from Dunelm and was pleased with the quality and price. I'm not good at putting things together, my sister has that ability. I know what I like but to create a whole room is another matter. I have learnt a lot since I retired especially this past year. Many websites now give pictures of full rooms. Changing things can make a big difference and it doesn't have to cost the earth. Good luck with choosing, expect you are good at this.

    :hello: Good morning everyone!

    Hope you're all ok. :)

    It's another beautiful start to the day here ... yippee!
    More pottering in the garden for me. :j

    I had a wonderful time out there yesterday, mowed the
    lawns, did a bit of weeding/pruning - the time just
    flew by!

    Thanks Inkling - that's a great idea! If things don't work out well I'll keep that in mind! I do have a free cake at John Lewis voucher, maybe that will do instead! :rotfl:

    Thanks Alfie! Her birthday is actually Thursday - same day as the Queen! (but not the same year, haha!) Apparently there will be a 21 gun salute from the castle, and fireworks from Britannia, so we're pretending that they've been organised for her! :D


    Lol April! Wishing your Mum a very happy birthday for
    Thursday - now't like sharing your birthday with Royalty! :grin:
    Wonder if there will be a flypast too! :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not quite sure what you mean C0nfused cos I always
    scoot through the comps on a daily basis, to catch up I
    just click on Newest Post at the top right hand side - I
    still use the old format but would guess it's on the
    new format too. Hope that helps. :p

    Have a lovely and lucky day all, take care - I will
    catch up later. :)

    Lovely and sunny here too today.

    Just had a delivery of very heavy hamper of Astonish cleaning products. Delighted with it. There were 15 different full size products plus a Lakeland Cleaning Caddy.it included two different hand wash products, which we have run out of.

    Just need some elbow grease now.

    Off out again tonight. DH has free tickets for a recording at London Palladium with Bradley Walsh.

    April hope you have success with your letting agent.

    Indie enjoy your time off. Well done on win.

    Hope it keeps fine for everyone and good luck
