    Yes, the car is fixed thanks, and I think I am on the mend too - haven't cried since...ooooh.....lunchtime!

    I am very sad for Stu today because he has got the keys to his new house and he's feeling like he is going to be very lonely - it upsets me that I've caused him that pain.

    But on a personal level, I actually feel a bit better about things.


    Hugs IA, sorry you are having a bad day. :grouphug:

    Ryan has the MFI Horizon bed by the way - it's very nice but his is only a mid-sleeper, with drawers and a cupboard under, not a very high one.

    Oh dear god, Natasha has got an obsession with my...er.....sanitary protection - she keeps running off with them. I think she thinks they are sweets because she's desperate to get the wrapper off to see what's inside. :rotfl:

    I'm beginning to get the impression that a high sleeper is not a good idea....

    thanks for the feedback!

    We didnt have either of ours very long Maz. DD's was metal and too blimmin noisy, and DS didnt like his after a few months. I guess he outgrew it like Beanie said. One of our biggest wastes of money :o

    Maz, I had one for about 8 years until I left home at 16, as I had a tiny room, it was fine but did get a bit wobbly as time went on (it was an MFI one, made of chipboard-type stuff!). Since then, my dad has built a wooden one in that room, it's more built into the wall than freestanding and I think it works really well, it's very sturdy - not sure how cheap it would be to get someone to build one though?!
