It is amazing you can multitask sufficiently to post at the same time as saying that stuff. I have no experience of being stuck on the phone for ages with someone I dont want to talk to, I just make an excuse and leave

The only room of my house that has curtains is my bedroom, every other room has blinds.
I can generally avoid conversations about curtains thanks to this fact.

See if your aunt knows anywhere I can get the plastic chain thingy that goes along the bottom of full length blinds as my cat has broken ours in many places

LOL! Luckily I have just put the phone down AT BLOODY last so I didn't have to hide that laugh out loud I did there. No, she has watched Princess Diana's funeral on video many many many times though, is that kind of the same thing? Ok, I think she was only on for 3/4 of an hour. It actually just felt longer. Now I am going to forage for drinks of any type. I am exhausted. One of my ears is very squashed.

See if your aunt knows anywhere I can get the plastic chain thingy that goes along the bottom of full length blinds as my cat has broken ours in many places Isn't it annoying when that breaks? The Finnish blinds don't use that chain, they have this cable which you twist clockwise or anti-clockwise to open/close the blinds The other annoying thing is when cats break the slats on the blinds. Not possible here as the blinds are between the panes of the triple-glazed (standard here) windows

I felt lost there, cos I had no idea what "little chain" they were talking about!
We had very fine wicker Habitat blinds many years ago - they were cool!
Anyway - where this is leading - is what's been happening in Aunties world lately!
It's all very well Trubs being on the phone and giving us these vital teasing snippets - but we wan the next installment!

The next installment was searching for a glowing reindeer to go on the mantelpiece. She wants to tone down things this year because of the recession so the giant rocking snowman will not be on the lawn as usual.
