I wanted some custom made timber venetian blinds for my children's rooms. I had done a lot of searching and found that Timber Blinds Express were the cheapest by far. I was a little concerned as their contact email address was a gmail account and I couldn't find any reviews on them. I'm happy to say that within 2 working days I received an invoice (with my payment details) and information on when the blinds would be ready. In less than 2 weeks after that, I received a call telling me the blinds were ready and would I be at home to receive the parcels on the following Monday / Tuesday. He also asked for some delivery options should I not be at home when the parcel was delivered so that I wouldn't have to pay extra for a second try. I explained I was a stay at home mum, so any time was fine. I was extra delighted to receive the package the very next day! (Not in 4-5 days time). Both sets of blinds were wrapped carefully to avoid damage in transit. They fit the windows beautifully (according to the measurements I'd given them). My only gripe was that the edges of the blinds hadn't been repainted white where they had been cut to measure (to match the rest of them). It doesn't really matter as it's not noticeable next to the edge of the window and the wood used is so light in colour. I will be returning for my other windows!

Dr Shilton is the only obgyn I'd want close to me for my pre and post natal care (and during the delivery of course!). He has delivered both of my children - both times we had complications which he navigated expertly and with the utmost care. He has a quirky sense of humour and is very straight-forward (sometimes blunt). He is not a worrier at all and adopts a "we'll worry about it if it happens" approach. But that is not to say that he is lax on his overall care, because he is extremely thorough. His sessions go as long as you need and his mini-ultrasound machine means that you get to check in on your little jellybean at every visit (not just at key moments in its development). His prices are very competitive and his receptionist (Sue) is also caring and very helpful. I can't recommend him highly enough and will be making a beeline straight to his office door if we ever fall pregnant again!
