Finally its gone dark...



The very first night we spent in our house both Andrew and I woke (very early) in the morning and commented that as well as getting rid of the hideous lilac on the walls we needed some blinds. That was on a dark January morning three and a half years ago. A lot has happened in that time but still no blinds graced our windows.

Four months ago I finally ordered some, and yesterday Richard came round and did a wonderful job of putting them up. I was previously in charge of DIY, Andrew has not a clue. He's going to have to learn..!!!

Last night we slept in a properly dark room and I actually slept in for the first time EVER in this house. Can't believe it took us so very, very long.

What a good idea! How nice it must be to sleep in your own bed again and in absolute darkness. Our windows have just got frosting on and no blinds which is rubbish especially as we have a street light outside our window. Only time I ever sleep in darkness is in a hotel room so time we took a leaf out of your book.x x x

They really have made a massive difference...we only had really light weight white curtains before. We got our from www.blinds4uk.co.uk.They do made to measure blinds loads cheaper than Habitat etc....
