AAAC I'm quite disappointed in you that you'd put the happiness of your family ahead of competing in the chaingang but fingers crossed that you'll be able to keep them out of your pain cave for just one extra day. It'll probably need that extra day just to let the air freshener get to work so you could always use that as an excuse.
I am however quite proud of you for picking the cheapest possible blinds, which is exactly what I'd have done under the circumstances. Recently when you lot were talking about having new kitchens fitted and figures like £5000.00 were being mentioned (you could get a really nice bike for that) I had to stop reading as the stress was too much. I couldn't (and still can't) understand why a nice second hand kitchen off of
ebay for £100 wouldn't suffice perfectly well.
Not quite sure I'd like vertical blinds at home though. It'd make the place look like my office
