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

    Thosewho wriggle up would justwriggle over onto the single.

    Then the half and half could be the way to go. They would roll half way across them go "yuck" and roll back again. I'm very territorial when it comes to sleeping and insist on "my half". Can you tell?

    :D i used to be. I retreat to the edge and beyond for pace but in truth i think i would not like anything that came between us. We sleep with our legs entwined a lot, and sometimes if he has totally taken over the pillow i use his arm. While i would like to be able to have more bed i would not choose it over the choice of proximity.

    Ofcourse the very rarely refered to real winner of the remote power struggle is the one who can give it to the partner and still end up watching what they want....

    I'm sure viva has one of those 'Layline' sheets.
    So who's hogging YOUR bed?
    If you and your loved one
    ever have words at 3am,
    the answer is at
    your fingertips!

    The fitted Layline Bed Sheet
    has a line along the middle you can
    feel with your fingertips, without
    switching the light on.

    I do remember a girl at work saying she was getting a king size bed, I pointed out I could fit a king size bed but choose not to, she looked at me a little stange and said asked why.

    The answer:
    Because we still like each other.

    That's good, that you still like each other 3 months before getting married. :D

    Are the NP's invited?

    Dave could bring his polytunnel which can serve as marquee.
    Single Sue's son's band will provide live music.
    I will bring some Belgian beers.
    And michaels will arrange a 100-head buffet service that he found on hotukdeals for £1.25 after quidco, cashback and several voucher codes.

    I and the other NP dragons will invest in your idea just on the basis of that pitch :) May be we also have some of the skills that you don't have.

    I can imagine it in 5 years just before the IPO when we are all doing interviews everywhere, watching the (unathorised) movie and being sued by Hamish on the grounds that he was also an NP and so a share of it should be his....

    Can we call the company NPGooBook?
    Just had my genius new business idea of the day .... 40 years ago I had an older sibling who did something ... and what she did stuck in my brain ever since. And today I looked at it as I thought about writing an article about it, and what I discovered was an utapped resource.... which my mind then bent into an easy, cheap, attainable, scalable business opportunity in a market still flush with cash ... and when I googled my full idea I got: "0 results". So, I've found a profitable niche to move into with a portable business idea that anybody can do, with 0 skills and probably a £10-20 startup cost.

    Keeping it to myself ... this one needs to stew and be developed.

    I have to think about the downsides.... it's not a me-friendly activity. So that means I'd need to ponder about that.
    I think....
