hilsSo, at the weekend I found out that blackout curtains wear out. I was lying in bed on Saturday morning and I noticed light was filtering through. Asked the oracle that is twitter and several people said that eventually the sun wears away the lining on the back. I've had them for 10 years so it's not really a big deal. I ordered some new ones and today they arrived.
They're too small :(
I don't know how I messed up the measurements but they're about half an inch short on the width and several inches short on the length. They've definitely sent me the size that I ordered so it's my mistake.
If I'd been sensible I'd have checked the old curtains, because when I looked today they have the size printed on the label.
So, rather than messing around posting them back and getting them to send me some new ones I'm just going to drive to the shop probably during my lunch break on Friday and swap them. The shop is closer to my house than work and I work from home on Fridays so it'll easier to go from here than go from the office.
It's all just a bit annoying, and it's my own stupid fault.
