She was last seen talking about having fish and chips on another thread, I think. Maybe the chip shop is a long way away!

By, this stretches the old general knowledge! I've just been reading about the invention of nylon, and it was invented in the 1930s and first went into production for women's stockings in 1939. So I'm not sure about where the 1960s comes from?

Hi All

Thanks for the warm welcome - warmer than the weather here!

No Shimms - just one room. I took them down to wash them last week and they came out the same shade of grey they went in (and they were originally white) - but now they'd frayed a bit as well. Time for the bin!!

Oh bless ... I once had beautiful nets which did the same, Auntie suggested using a teabag to create creamy brown, I thought not ... bought new ones!

I have blinds (horizontal white) at my windows, make the rooms feel spacious and bright. :)
