It does make it a little better to swallow when they let us know and are humorous about it, don't you think? I thought it was my ISP at first, as that is usually what it is. My ISP is pretty slow though with other sites this AM, thus making GW really crawl. Hopefully all will be fixed soon as it is raining and I don't want to do any of my rainy day chores.r

That was very good! LOL

I frequently repurpose old deli and yogurt containers. As long as they have been throughly cleaned, they work fine. A trip through the dishwasher does the trick as well. In both cases (this and the bleach routine Marina mentioned,) be sure to rinse the containers afterwards to remove any detergent or bleach residue.

Hi Katie - firstly, Houzz has just done a strange thing where it’s forgotten that is Brits are Brits, so it’s chucking us into the US chat - that’s why you’re getting feedback from the states, I think. On your actual curtain pole, the easiest/cheapest solution is a rail, like the one you have, that can be bent to the degree you need. They are quite easy to fit, but might not be the look you want. At the other end of the price spectrum you can get a bespoke pole made. Most curtain makers will be able to make this and fit it. Poles can bend up to 90 degrees. But they are expensive.
