Oh dear.

In an attempt to finally get this house in order I've been on a mad cleaning frenzy today. Decided to take down the blinds in our little conservatory and give them a good wash - they were getting a bit moldy.

Thought nothing about throwing them in the washing machine as they were homemade by previous owner - simply blinds made from blackout material. Except I put them on a 60 degree wash to banish the mold forever and now I seem to have melted them!!!!

Can see me buying the sewing machine that's going cheap in Tesco to run up a new set at this rate.

Oh dear.
