Sharkie Mar 2017 10:42pm, 23 Mar 2017 11,182 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie I would rather NOT have these curtains at all. In fact for twenty years or so I didn't, but these days it makes sense to have them. In fact I generally prefer no curtains at all. I admit they add a bit of cosiness in winter though. There is an arctic gale off my big bay window (north facing, huge window and not double glazed. What's double glazing?)

I explained to the assistant what I was after and I was very sniffily told that most people don't buy net curtains but she may be able to help if I wished to purchase a voile. I bought a pair of what I considered to be net curtains and went home a happy customer

So while it was good to discover this new skill (and it will definitely be useful in the future) I could have saved myself 2 hours of panic Looking forward to seeing all your newts today

I cleaned the inside of the bay window this morning, have put the curtains back up... and to be honest it is heaps brighter. Just wait 'til I do the outsides! (Am slightly worried the outside sill will give way and I will fall to a hideous death, so I will wait 'til summer and more time and bravery - not that i haven't done it before)
