Today's agent has been spoken to, he accidentally reminded me that I should follow up with a client I had been speaking to directly.
Now waiting for the weather to break.

My council can't tell the truth about the post Christmas bin schedule.

They are empty the refuse and recycling now. Should have been done yesterday.

[WTFH]

Next big job done: Christmas avatar replaced.

The curtains are here!

There's a double-sided sheet of A5 with instructions about pleats and such. I never realised curtains were so complicated; I thought you just hung them up and were good to go

Anyway, I need to get some curtain hooks. But the Ikea delivery is now also on the way so I'll have to wait for that, though he's north of Loughborough at the moment and Homebase is quite nearby

It depends on the size you ordered. If you sized them to be the same as the window then you won't need to do any gathering / pleating. If you ordered a bit wider then you either just pull the cords to gather the curtain to the right size and even out the pleats or go for fancy pleating that is more hassle than its worth.

The ordering process specifically asked for the track length, and AIUI they then calculate from that and make them wider for pleating. As they go into enormous depth about pleating on this bit of paper, I assume it's something very dear to their hearts

Current status: dealing with the large number of cardboard boxes that have been allowed to accumulate in the living room pending transfer to the tip, as I now need that space for the Ikea delivery, which will result in yet more boxes

I think I'll stick these in the study for now so they're out of the way.

And once the Ikea delivery has been assembled, I'll have enough space to deal with the whole curtain issue

Ikea stuff arrived!

Only took one trip in the lift with it this time, probably due to there being no sofa this time

Next door have had scaffolding up up out the front.

I suppose that means there's noisy building works in my future.

Could be worse - next door have, as of last weekend, a new yappy dog and seem to be happy to leave it all alone during the day.

They have one of those too! And a toddler prone to temper tantrums.
