here you go - new shiny thread all ready for us when the current one fills up

Bad night with DS, teeth again I think. Feel sooo sleepy this morning.

CWWM - there are some companies online which will make you a blind to size if you measure your window recess. Not expensive at all, my parents got one for their bathroom a while ago. Saves you buying one and trying to cut it, I would be nervous about that! I will try and find the website for you.

He's a biochemist PBM - this is actually his old (PhD) lab not the new one. They have to do a big presentation thingy today and are going to the pub after, and asked if we wanted to come. I think thre will be a few ex-members of the lab going so should be fun.
