Do you know about: http://curtains.thewarehouse.co.nz/ezisizemeasure.aspx

Yes, it is still the bloomin Warehouse, but they have more sizes on line and made to measure. They are pretty decent quality.

If you can wait till October, i'll certainly stick them in my container for you Kate.
Is there an Ikea there yet? As they do material. Not sure what it's like, but they are usually cheap. Also rosebys here do material. www.rosebys.com.

WHAT? Are they mad? Ikea is without doubt one of the greatest places to shop. Where else can you offload the kids into a safe Play Area, have a hot dog for 50p, and buys loads of cool tat for next to nothing all under one roof???
