Hi EDF,

I'm looking for some advice. We've got bi-folds doors, but surprisingly the sun is a bit much in the day in this country!

What have others done? Retractable awning outside? Seems expensive. Is it worth it?

Blinds inside?

Let me know what you think!and any recommendations. Thanks Nikki

We looked at awnings but it was very expensive and so as an interim measure we bought some ?Blinds in a Box? from Amazon as our garden is west facing and the sun is particularly bad at kid?s teatime in the summer. The blinds have been great! I think it was about ?20 for 4 blinds and they clip up at the top when not in use. We?ve had them for nearly 3 years now...

We have Perfect Fit type blinds from the London Blind Company in a light white material on each bi-fold which open "bottom up" so you can set them halfway up the doors to block out the sun. Expensive but brilliant - we've had ours for over 10 years.

    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
