The huge Jim-bed we bought in America has finally come home, bless it's enormous cotton socks.
We finally decided, since no move looks imminent, to bring it from Dad's garage to the house. Mark's been anxiously pacing all morning, worrying that the matress might not fit through the doors (it did, just) or go up the stairs (it almost didn't).
We can't sleep in it yet though, because we have no bedding. We've been able to order (online - they're not the sort of thing you can pick up in Tesco) flat sheets, a duvet and cover in super-king size, but fitted sheets, a mattress cover and vallance will have to be ordered, at huge cost, from the US.
We really didn't think this thing through at all, did we?
What was once a room with a bed in it is now a bed with a room wrapped around it. Heh! No, not really, but I am glad our house has nice big rooms. *g*
