Sounds promising. If you're feeling thrifty (and short on time), you can buy your 'ingredients' from the one-stop shop, use their heat-up-a-burger microwave, and you should be steamin' by the time you've entered your pin number..

Blimey I oh !


Quick stock take chez Curtain:


Manzanilla (open, but full-ish)


Sainsbo's Amarillo Sherry


1.5lt of Lambrusco Red wine (unopened-gift from the 12-step AA lady down the road)


Various Ciders


In the freezer i've stashed a chunk of belly pork & a load of proper sausages.



I'm well happy now !

Finished the last of the Christmas cake and the sweet sherry a few days back.


None of the chocolates etc lasted much beyond Christmas week :))


Stella went long ago, as did all the leftover white wine,fizzy wine, rum and brandy.


Still got a bottle of dry sherry, ginger wine, several bottles of red and a bottle of gin.


Oh, and about a stone of unwanted flab :))

    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

Please check our Google Reviews to speak for us: "We were really pleased with their quote, communication, and with having the job done perfectly with almost zero disruption. We think they left the space cleaner than when they arrived, and we are definitely already getting the effects of a warmer room" – Miriam & Abed, Sevenoaks, Oct 2025 "Laurence and his team were extremely polite & helpful, and the work was performed over just 2 days with minimal disruption. It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires. 
    • Such a shame as Dells is fantastic - a decent local business providing a great service to residents.
