I think we need to move our baby boy to a different room. He turns five months in a few days so I think he is ready for the move. I know I am as I am getting very little sleep with the cot right next to me. Only room available is the spare room which is at the back of the house and gets all the morning sun. There is a curtain with blackout lining on the window but it is letting a lot of light through the top and sides.


Are there any blackout blinds or curtains or anything like that locally? I saw a product on the JoJo website that looks promising but seems expensive. Has anyone used it?

I have a gro blind (new name for baa baa blind) for sale if you're interested. It's brand new. We have one for each of our daughters rooms (they're brilliant). John Lewis sent me an extra one then let me keep it because I had loads of problems with a monitor I bought from them. We use it as well as a blackout blind and stops the extra cracks getting through.

Retails for about ?25 - sell for ?15?

On http://www.easyblindsonline.co.uk/ you can get blackout blinds that attach to the window frame with velcro which avoids the problem of light flooding through on the sides. I bought one for my baby's bedroom but have not fitted it yet. Using gro anywhere at the moment but it does not fit very well, still letting in a lot of light.

    • There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it.  
    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.  
    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
