    "I saw a spider/scorpion/earwig/other creepy crawlie, and in the midst of panic and wanting to protect the household without being armed with a can of raid or small incendiary device, I did the only thing that I could. Like a heroic soldier leaping on to a live grenade to save his comrades, I decided to protect you, my loved ones, in the same manner. No need to thank me."
    She would always like to say,
    Why change the past when you can own this day?

    She should have put the bed away if it's cluttering up your living room floor.

    Tell her it was your cross-dressing alter-ego who hasn't quite mastered walking in stilletoes. You could always smear a bit of lippy around your mouth and a few dabs of polish on your nails to add credence to your story. She'll probably be too gobsmacked to say anything, though you might have some explaining to do to your wife.

    "I have to swear you to complete silence about this, but I was visited by my 18 stone lover, who leaped upon me and dragged me onto your bed, which did not stand the weight and broke. Please, please, PLEASE keep my secret! I have ended the affair, never again will something like that happen!"
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Tesco or even B&M Bargains sell them and they are not expensive, so pay up.

    When your missus comes in get all amorous throw her (gently) onto the air bed watch it deflate and then it becomes her problem not yours!

    Especially if the sister in law's *cough* a little on the large side.

    Earlier when i came in from work, the bed hadn't been put away and i got the urge to just frog splash it :o

    To be fair, I bet there aren't many people who wouldn't do the same :) I think you should just come clean, I'm sure you'll be forgiven.

    Man up, Spinkzy ....fess to sister in law (but just say you tripped over it when you fell) - and buy her another from Tescos! I've got one for you - and you get double clubcard points - so its very MSE!
