Wait, what? It's taken them four years to deliver your bed Kestra?

[Kestra15]

Haha no Fort! Lover and I kinda broke my bed the last time she came over, so I'm ordering a new bed. But because my current bed precisely fits the space in my flat including under-bed storage it's been a pain trying to find a replacement that will still give me the same storage. Then I remembered I ordered that bed online, so dug through my old e-mails, found the order from four years back, and I just reordered the same bed. It also means I can use any still-useable bits from this bed as spares for the other.

[Fortune86]

Ah ok! That makes sense

 

You can tell how brain dead I am that I need things explaining in baby steps.

[Kestra15]

We all have those days Fort *mooch*

We need a new one as well. Mostly because ours is held together with duck-tape

Bed, or vacuum cleaner?

The vacuum.... My bed is made steel and wheels. Can only rust and not break!

[Fortune86]

Do the wheels have a lock? Or do you keep waking up and finding yourself on the other side of the room?

[DragonSpirit009]

Lol nope.

There is a small lever which can be turned. It then lifts the bottom part a bit up. Then it can move around

[Fortune86]

So you can't accidentally move the bed in your sleep?

Wanna bet?

[DragonSpirit009]

Nope... Only movement there is when sleeping and rolling off. But that's really painful! It's quite high.

 

The frame is very sturdy, Kestra. But I know some of the wires will break in the middle

 

[Fortune86]

Do you not have foldy side things on the bed? Like panels? Can't remember the proper word...

[DragonSpirit009]

The bed is something like this

 

Except it's a bit higher... to the waist almost.

Then two wheels by the head side on the legs.

Then by the feet side there is an extra leg in the middle with a wheel. And a small turn lever to lift it up

[Kestra15]

 

Mine *was* sturdy.

*spies a Terry Pratchett book*

 

I like that book o3o

[DragonSpirit009]

Lol... I still don't think mine would break. Round steel pipes tend to hold out a bit longer.

Actually, usually with those they break there 80% of the time in that area

Tis a good book.

 

Cancelled my journal subscription. I'm paying £8/month and they never both to send the journal, so why bother? Besides I can access everything online these days. For free.

[Fortune86]

It's kinda sad though.

 

That's a good idea Kestra. I've been trying to get my mother to cancel stuff of hers, but she won't listen.

[DragonSpirit009]

Can't you just do it?

I have to cancel most of the stuff for my mum!

[Kestra15]

As I have learned with my Lover, relationships between mums and daughters are not always that straight-forward in the UK

[Fortune86]

I would, but can't for three reasons.

 

1) I don't know all the details needed to do so.

2) She'd only start them up again if I did.

3) I'd only get told off for my efforts.

[Kestra15]

Right, I have a lot to do in the next six hours so I will disappear for now *hugs all* Take care!

[DragonSpirit009]

Cherios Kestra!

 

I still don't understand why she would do that if you guys can save a bit of money off it.

[Fortune86]

My mother isn't as good with money as she thinks. That's why I have to keep bailing her out.

[DragonSpirit009]

I think I have a spider bite under my arm. It stings as hell

Owie!

 

Did that just happen?
