Blackout blinds

Unflappable Moth 9107 Aug
PRO Twenty-two pounds. Fixed a 7pm bedtime in June. Best value item in the house.
CON None worth mentioning.
Pillar-box Heron 1507 Aug
PRO Naps improved immediately, which nobody had told me would happen.
CON The suction cup version fell down at 4am twice. Buy the proper fitted one.
Third-coffee Barnacle 0707 Aug
PRO Travel version lives in the changing bag permanently.
CON Never a perfect seal at the edges. Does not seem to matter.
Shellshocked Shrew 6607 Aug
PRO Cheap and immediate.
CON Made the room too dark for me to find anything. Hence the head torch.
