We bought a bed

My youngest daughter, now definitely into her teens, needs a new bed. When I say 'needs' I should really say 'wants', because she has a perfectly 'ok' single bed but thinks she really NEEDS a small Double, now that she is almost as tall as me!

So today, after our venture up to the Livery Yard to sort out the daily needs of ponies, as well as the girls having a hack up the road -the fields being too wet - we rushed home, changed into normal clothes and headed eastwards to the Gateshead Metro Centre to search for a suitable bed for an aspiring 14 year old.

We did find one, just what she wanted, metal, 4'6'' wide, and 30% off! Fantastic! But do tell me.....when M&S have a 'Sale', one guesses that the store is perhaps overstocked or suchlike, then why do they tell you that Delivery will be in 10 to 14 weeks time!!!!!!! And try explaining that to an eager Teenager who has already designed the entire bedroom in her head and just wants to get on with her creative journey.

Ho, hum.......Chilli for tea!
