The end of an era

It is with great sadness that I hereby announce the death of a good friend of mine. He has supported me through good times, bad times and times of unbearable stress. He has always been there for me, I always knew where to find him. He always had the time for me to sit down and spill my troubles.
I've had dinner with him, read books with him, played games too. Hell I've even slept with him.... Farewell my old bed.

Had you going there for a second didn't I!?

On Friday my bed gave one hell of a crack and suddenly my mattress slid off sideways. Annoying at the best of times, more so because I was nowhere near the bloody thing at the time.
So this morning I have gone out and chosen its successor, and it has a lot to live up to.
I am also testing whether a well known bed deliverer can really do same day delivery... We will see. I do know that I have to put the thing together, so this should keep me occupied for an hour or so.

Interesting really, because I'm only going to use it twice (if it arrives today) and then it will lie dormant for a week when I'm off (hopefully) sunning myself in Jersey.

I should probably look into getting a new mattress, the wire mesh makes quite a large imprint on the mattress fabric, which im sure cant be too great for my back..

My mattress is huge, at least a foot thick, and very very comfy. Good job that didnt break.

My bed is ~40 years old and doesn't appear to be going anywhere yet. Prolly something to do with the heavy duty metal frame.

So, it was the mattress that caused it to collapse :|
