    At least the garden looks good...........spent all day in that!

    Not managed to catch up on posts either..............hope everyone is ok

    Thanks for the tip grateful - we were worried about that too, but the matress we are after definitely comes in a UK standard double - I was very sure to check with the girl in the shop, as like you say, most of their matresses only come in 140cmx200cm and a standard UK double is 132cmx190cm. This is the one we're going to go for.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
