    I've just ordered some samples for new venetian blinds for the bathroom. I have discovered some perfect fit ones, they attach somehow in the beading of the window. Having a normal venetian blind is a disaster in the bathroom, the window goes behind a boxed in pipe which is next to the loo, so you are trying to fit a blind cautiously standing on some steps right next to the loo, it is rather hard to do, but if I can get these it will make things a whole lot easier :D
    We have these in our awkward bay windows and think they are brilliant. Very easy to fit too. We ordered one initially to make sure we had got the hang of how to measure, then ordered the rest. Less than half the cost of what the local blind shop wanted to measure and fit :money:

    They do stand out a little, and they are venetians and will spend most of their time open, so think they will be OK. Not going for fabric ones for the reason though :)

    Got to get to the window to measure it first though, cue balancing near the loo to get the tape measure to the edge of the glass :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It seriously must have been a bloke that put a window behind a boxed in pipe, it is the most ridiculous design I have ever known. I curse it every time I paint the bathroom.

    I've got them in the bathroom and kitchen Enterprise, no problems at all with condensation and they were easy to fit - but I haven't got a window behind a boxed in pipe though :rotfl:

    Verdict on the Linda McCartney sausages....a bit bland and dry. If they compare I have another couple of coupons to use and if I get them I'll do them with beans or a big spoonful of chutney. At least you are guaranteed not to find a chewy bit in the middle_pale__pale_

    It looked as if the Mozzarella burgers might compare to M but my A didn't stock them.
