Have a look to see if you have a local framing company (as in picture
frames). I'm good friends with the owner of such a place, and he is able to
supply huge sheets of mirror glass (various thicknesses) at much lower than
glazing firms seem to. Probably won't work out, but maybe worth a try.

If you are into Feng Shui (sp) aparently any mirror reflecting an image
of your bed is really bad news in that it will reflect infedellity or
something, i.e. it reflects an image of you and/or your partner in bed
with somone else.

Don't say I didn't warn you!!

Not on the ceiling ?

There was a thread about exactly the same subject a few days ago - try
googling for it

I got a mirror about 4x3 for around £70.
Easily glued with 'mirror glue'

Use yellow pages to find out where to go.
