The Bed is due to arrive sometime tomorrow afternoon so I thought it only fair to show you what we have been sleeping on for the past year or so. It’s a mess, I know, and the de-cluttering hasn’t really worked so far, but once you’re under the duvet it really is nice and snug, albeit a little too close to the floor.

I look forward to getting out of a proper bed on Thursday morning, rather than simply rolling out as is the common practise these days, although I wonder if I will forget that I am now several centimetres off the floor and wake with a rather nasty bump. I may even start making the bed and clear away all that stuff to the back of the bedroom so that I can bask in my glory. Although I really wouldn’t be surprised if I no longer like my new Bed. I tend to be like that.

But first of all, I have to deal with the delivery men.

    And so beautifully paired – peach on peach on peach with a dash of slate/blue.
    You might be replacing the bed, but please, please, keep the bedding.

    So now, there is a question bothering me. On the left hand side, we can see that one of you is reading lots of books and is wearing something else than t-shirts. So I thought it was you. But then, on the right hand side, someone is drinking water and using tissues. And that cannot be the twat. Or can it?

    George, I will be keeping the bedding as king size sheets don’t come cheap.
    Bibil, I sleep on the water and tissues and pills and pills side. There are loads of books near my side too – just not in the picture, and none that I’ve read.

    The words anticlimax come to mind! Good luck on Thursday, I assume there will be pictures. You don’t have to assemble it yourself do you? That would be a nightmare. You want to be in it by Christmas!!

    Why am I thinking of the expression ‘student squat’? …… oh, those were the days …….

    Rosie, I will have to put it together – but not in an Ikea way.
    DaddyP, what on earth are you talking about?

    was you never a student? dossing out in in student digs? They can be safer as you can’t hurt yourself if you fall off head first and hit yer nose on the floor?

    A very spartan bedroom you have there. Sounds like the bed will make a nice addition.

    Good luck with the delivery men. As a diversion, here’s a video combining two of your interests: Hello Kitty goes kinky acid batshit.

    It begs the question? will the bed delivery men take the old one away too?

    edt – I doubt it, but there’s always hope. The actual bed is in bits in the garage.

    I wouldn’t fancy getting up out of that of a morning and making it must be a nightmare.

    Pat – that’s why I never make it. And when my back is bad, it is hell getting out of that thing.

    I too have recently received delivery of a shiny new bed after a year on a mattress on the floor (which looked scarily like Tracey Emin’s bed so I didn’t want to put it on my blog) and let me tell you – your back will improve and you will wonder why the f*ck you didn’t do it before – it feels SO luxurious just lying in a proper, grown-up off the floor. Pathetic for a 44 year old. I am very excited for you Lx

    PS I was just in Florida and FYI, MAC make-up have just brought out a whole range of “Hello Kitty” makeup – black and pink and they gave me a bag…you’ll love it. Lx

    Oh, I’ve been fantasizing about seeing Z’s bedroom for a while now. Unfortunately it looks more like Q’s bedroom (yes, I know it’s the same place).

    May I ask what your bed is sitting on in THIS pic/entry?

    S – the bed support ‘lattes’, in Frog.

    As a pseudo-interior designer I call your old bedroom: university chiq. All you lack is a couple of hot muscled men :D
