    Did anyone else read this thread, come home, throw open their curtains and sternly tell their OHs that we must remember to open them every day before we leave for work? No? Just me then :rotfl:

    Ours are often left closed as we like to leave them closed at night for privacy/warmth but we leave the house at 6.45am and aren't back until 6.30pm, at which point we often just sit at the dining table and then retire to bed!

    Our local police advise against doing this for the precise purpose that it shows you left the house in the dark and it's empty during the day.


    I'm wondering why all these people who have curtains but never close them bother to have curtains?
