No. Dh sleeps right in the middle when he is home, then the cata, then i hang off the edge. Usually my bum is well over the edge.

Personally, I'd evict the cats then.

Got to read all which has been posted today but just had to tell you all about my proud mum moment.....middle son got an A* in an end of unit physics test! So chuffed but it is going to cost me major pennies as an A* is the main big treatworthy grade.

Well, major pennies to me, maybe not to others....

Gosh. I would defintely ask new owners if you can come back get a rip apple and leaves on a small branch and send it off. Some things are worth a small fee.

Trouble is, I suspect new owners will put in PP for an extension - and it'll be ripped out PDQ. It's way too close to the house to ever survive any form of extension.

Ah... problem would be solved by you pushing your own single up alongside the current bed then ... with your preferred mattress on it.

I take it all back - I went on the interactive map page before and it doesn't look like it is coming closer than Luton...but then if you ask to see the route and zoom in it is passing the end of our road may be a whole 200m so we might wander out to have a look although I think it will be in the middle of DD1s birthday party....

Drag all the kids up to see it - that counts as a valid party activity and it's free.

Or pop to Wilkos where cans of Coke and Diet Coke are 50p each and have the bonus of being chilled.

Just thought you should know. For when you a) find a pound coin and b) there's a gorgeous aspie and c) there's no-one else watching and d) you're closer than 100 miles from the nearest Wilkos.

Bound to happen.

Popping involves a 40 mile round trip and paying £5 for a car park. Not very MSE.

For the record, there are two stores with a 40 mile round trip involved.... and the 3rd nearest store is ... a 100 mile round trip

And a highly intelligent girl got 2 O levels. Time for an alternative approach!

I can't pretend to be an expert on English /Welsh school system in the 60s and 70s (not sure the Scottish or NI version was very much better either, before anyone asks). but I don't imagine it was very nurturing for girls with academic ability.

In fact.... no I better stop talking right there, as I can feel a rant coming on.:mad:

The cats are warm and make delicious sleep comforting noises. Sometimes they make good pillows, and sometimes one will sleep in the small of my bak instead, whicH is the best pain killer.
