Why some of the top leaves of my chilli plant drooping?

  It's often caused by a brief period of too hot or too cold.
  The leaves may have got a chill overnight if it's close to the window - just move it away from the window overnight.
  If it's behind the nets during the day it's unlikely to be too much sun.
  Otherwise it's a healthy looking plant and a bit of leaf damage isn't going to harm it.

  Thanks. At what temperature do you think I can put these outside? Is 10 degrees c night time temperature enough?

  Too chilly at the moment.
  They like it warm most of the time so night temps need to be 15c at least.
  It'll be good for it to be out on a warm and sunny day, but get it used to full sun little by little over a week or so and if it's dull and chilly leave it indoors.
  It looks like it may be finally warming up a bit the week after next - and not before time!
