    Does it matter what quilt covers look like/do? Nobody ever sees your bedroom... unless you're swingers.... are you?

    Swingers more interested in your bedcovers than its possibilities maybe need a different hobby.

    Otoh I see my bed, and take pleasure from nice bedding etc. I am not nobody.

    That it being appealing to our aesthetic is also mood enhancing, relaxing and open to possibility is its function.


    Note to self: tidy bedroom and finish painting very soon!

    I see my bedroom and it needs to look right.

    Otherwise no-one would have doors on wardrobes.

    We just have hanging rails :o. (And boxes under the bed....which is one of my pet hates).

    I have been pruning my clothes over winter and disposed of a horrifying number of binbags full of clothing. I knew I had a lot I wouldn't wear again, but I didn't realise the number of binbags full
    D reach double figures. I am genuinely a bit disgusted with myself for that (some were dh's, but no where near half)

    Advice from nice people wanted please.

    Any views on this place, please? I'm seriously thinking of going for a few days. (Without DW, as she refuses.) Or is it just plain crazy?

    Looks a good place to be reflective.

    Do you need/want to reflect?

    I slept through most of last summer......the rest I was intermittently blind for. Tbh, doozer girl could have painted the interior of my house pink and I might not have noticed on some days, so long as I could sleep.


    I think I am going to have to start spring cleaning. I should have started before the weather turned cold again, but if I don't start soon it will never get done and my house is disgusting. It just doesn't seem right to be so close to Easter and have not spring cleaned.
