The gorgeous poppy curtains
That achievement spurred us on because it wasn’t long before Bert embarked on boxing in the bath. He used old pine tongue and groove panelling that had featured in the bathroom before we’d renovated the house. It was at this stage that we regretted using a wood effect vinyl floor covering for the two woodinesses (antique and faux) laughed at each other.

But there was still the space at the end of the bath. We’d considered a piece of old furniture for this and had left the floor uncovered until we found it.

Eventually I decided that Bert would build me a shelving unit. Plans were discussed. Plans were even drawn. Leitrim Sister had an idea, West Belfast Social Worker had another idea, Bert had an even better idea – or so he has convinced me. The only thing was – Bert’s idea needed a Compound Mitre Saw! I’m not sure what this actually does (Bert assures me it is an essential) but this I do know – men should always be encouraged to buy expensive power tools because it gives women such leverage when it comes to getting things done around the house.
You've spent all that money and I’m still waiting for my shelves, table, bed whatever!

The way you have chosen to express your views are very good with photographs. If you could have furnished more information it would be helpful to everyone about the curtains. After seeing your site I have gathered some information which may helpful to you to give more information on the curtains
Dear advertising troll-person, the curtains are vintage, second-hand and sourced from EBay. Much more fun (and cheaper) than dreary modern ones. Leaves Nellybert so much more dosh to spend on Power Tools which, as every fule do know, are far more entertaining and useful than CURTAINS!
Nelly, I am asking you now:
Tell Bert to watch out for his fingers when using the Makita.
Deadly, so 'tis.
It does have a guard on the blade but I'll make sure he takes every precaution. After all he might not be able to play the clarinet if he was short of a digit or two!
T'was more spam.
