It's a tough one and we know he's not going to get better - it's a matter of learning to deal with each new slide as it happens. <br /><br />Haven't heard of the 'perfect fit' blinds - must go and look them up :o) The JL one is very good. (DH initially suggested Argos, until I made him read the reviews. Poor fittings, fell apart quickly... that's why they were 1/3 of the price of the JL blinds. Am *still* trying to get him to see the difference between good value and false economy!)Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-29572505651236919692009-05-27T12:07:41.014+01:002009-05-27T12:07:41.014+01:00Sending belated hugs from here too.

To be of any use to anyone else, you have to be in a good state yourself.<br /><br />I've just had a blackout blind fitted too. We went for the 'Perfect Fit' blinds - a very clever little invention.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-58403885620472244422009-05-26T16:46:06.812+01:002009-05-26T16:46:06.812+01:00Diane - thanks :o) It's definitely not easy.

I've since read reviews which said it should be at least a 12A. And as I've copyedited horror collections in the past, one of which contained a story that reminded me of this... um, it gave me nightmares, so littlest definitely wouldn't cope!Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-11263948797646431642009-05-26T16:33:12.549+01:002009-05-26T16:33:12.549+01:00Liz - thank you.

When that goes, I think I'll find it very hard.<br /><br />As for DH: I think mine is being a pain this week because he has an impending birthday. He was fine about being 40, but 44 is clearly an issue!Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-29396883912043370682009-05-26T11:37:50.316+01:002009-05-26T11:37:50.316+01:00PS And I want a blackout blind too.

I was going to arrange it when I do the bedroom, but as it's unlikely I'll get around to that in the future, I may ask Josie if she can do one for me.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430125606844410229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-74197472946754500432009-05-26T11:36:38.478+01:002009-05-26T11:36:38.478+01:00I have someone else going through something very s...I have someone else going through something very similar and while it's not easy, it's also called tough love and you have to try not to become a slave to it all. Hugs to help you through it all, though. <3<br /><br />And yes please, if you have the time, of course I'd love to know how you put it all together too. :o)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430125606844410229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-77941074419415800832009-05-26T09:04:36.996+01:002009-05-26T09:04:36.996+01:00Hugs on the difficult situation, lovey.

Compartmentalising a little and giving yourself some space seems like an excellent idea.<br /><br />Hope I'm not too late with this, but I'd definitely avoid Coraline. I was going to take my 3 (eldest loves Neil Gaiman), but apparently its PG rating is a definite red herring and it's essentially NOT a children's film. (The plot summary on wikipedia was enough to give me nightmares!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072783485818273641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23204407.post-54919086149957378452009-05-26T08:30:38.705+01:002009-05-26T08:30:38.705+01:00Sorry you're going through a difficult patch, Kate...Sorry you're going through a difficult patch, Kate. And waking with the headache. I has to be howling a gale before I can bear to have the bedroom window shut -- also have an insomniac dh who listens to the radio all night -- so know exactly how you feel.Liz Fieldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464889663853976327noreply@blogger.com
