    Sounds like you had quite the day! Hopefully there won't be any repercussions and if there are, they are very small. 

    Good curtains are expensive but so worth it. In our living room we have double glass doors into the conservatory that are quite draughty. Some good, floor length, heat reflecting curtains really sorted that out. We also added blackout lining to them as we have a projector on the ceiling in there so it makes the room completely dark for movie nights!

    I’m glad today was better and keeping my fingers crossed the curve ball thrown at you yesterday isn’t as bad as you fear.
