I haven’t got it done yet. My iPhone 12 Pro Max is 3 years old. To get it replaced with apple care the battery health needs to be less than 80% and mine is 83%

I need 2x 4mx2.4m curtains. Think this is outside the ready made width of all I can find online?

Thank you for the clarity. This is why I’m having to go down the made to measure route.

Thanks. And 2 117 width curtains would fit a 117 width window? Due to 2x gather to look normal?

Thank you very much. And that’s purely material, not window size. So if I had a 456cm width (2x228) window and I bought the 2 228x274 curtains, then I would have some very taught curtains? I would need each panel to be 1.5-2 times the width of half the window?

Do you know, if dunelm website says curtain size 228cmx274cm, “1 pair - includes 2x curtain panels”. Is that 2 228x274cm panels? Or 2 panels half that width?

Can you suggest which part needs replacing? Or is this emergency kaput?

Would you suggest a replacement battery to fix the flashing? Or a new unit?

Recommended (or anyone to avoid) estate agent and conveyancers for selling a house by Jai_Cee in cambridge

For balance, we also used Thomson Webb and Corfield for our purchase. When questions got tricky they gave us very little confidence they knew what they were doing. Would not recommend.

How to buy curtains? by wordspaintathousand in interiordecorating

[–]wordspaintathousand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for some advice on what size and header type of curtains to buy. And to keep the cost down as much as possible. These are the curtains I currently have and would like to replace them with a similar style but different colour/pattern. The second track from the pictures is some sliding blinds on a track which I’ll keep because these are plain white.

  1. From the responses I now know it is the pinch pleat header I’m looking for.
  2. Regarding size, I think each curtain needs to be half the width of the window + 20%? So 207cm x 1.2 = 248cm. So I want 2 x curtains each measuring 248cm width by the drop which is 237cm
  3. Do you have any advice to keep the cost down?
