That's curtains, not pyjamas!

I went out to buy curtains today. I thought that it would be easy; all I wanted was a simple, cheap pair of tab top curtains, as we're haing someone stay and suddenly realised that the room in which he'll be staying has no curtains. I had one lunch time, and after work for a short period. I went to Army and Navy. I failed. The curtains there are either (a) very horrid indeed, or (b) very expensive indeed, or (c) very horrid and very expensive, or (d) very expensive and very nice but really wouldn't go with the purple walls and lime green flowers currently decorating the room (not my taste, don't ask; it's the least of the decorative problems my house has!).

So, Army and Navy. No good. So I though "Aha". Flash of genuis. I'll check on the internet whether Marks and Sparks in Fenchurch Street has a home ware stuff department. Ra! It did. Did it have curtains? Not one scrap of curtain like material.

So I bought two really lovely pairs of pyjamas instead, and I'll have to either use the curtains from the bedroom, or rush out tomorrow lunchtime (when in Croydon rather than Central London) and buy curtains. Life is not easy.
