Get a new bed.

My boyfriend (feels like I mention him in just about every one of these entries) works at a custom furniture store. They’ll make anything you could possibly want, or repair anything for which you’re willing to pay. I asked him to make me a queen size platform bed, complete with night stands, at the beginning of the summer. He agreed as long as I paid for the supplies. He’s almost finished with it. It’s still laying in his shop in pieces as of now, since we’re not in our new apartment yet. It’s ready to go on move in day though. Ah, room to stretch.

i repaired the old one instead buying a new one.

I want to have an easily reachable target in my life :) estimated and required time to finish is 2 week (when I got my next paycheck; anyway i broke it in the last night)

my bed’s a bit old – it’s on it’s second mattress. thing is, it’s quite big and bulky – a wooden frame and i could do with a smaller metal frame, really. it would also give more room in the bedroom…budget would have to be about £200 though

so many people seem to be against futons.
i find it strange.

i’m getting one when i get paid.

My back isn’t used to sleeping on a decent mattress, and I’m sure it will take awhile longer to get used to it, but I still think this was one of the best investments I have made in a long time. A good night’s sleep really does affect everything!

I went a little crazy – I set a larger budget than I ended up needing for the mattress and box, so I got an inexpensive bedroom set, too! They’ll be delivered sometime before the end of the month. I’m so looking forward to a healthy mattress!

My mattress/box spring were manufactured in 1955. I doubt anybody thought it would still be slept on in 2008, but I have the joy of snuggling in between the springs every night . . . It’s been better than the floor that came before, but it’s time for something that’s a bit better for healthy sleep.

sooo worth the $

My beautiful bed arrived today. I’ve since assembled it and I’m writing this entry while all snuggled up in its glorious expanse. This has made me happy.
