As I'm resigned to the idea that I'll be living with my mother for a long while (whilst I save up for a deposit/win the lottery/marry a millionaire), I'm moving into my brother's old room. So I'm upgrading from a small box room, single bed to a double bed. I have a budget of £200 though for a mattress and a frame. Not impossible but it's taking a lot of research. Considering my brother moved out 6 months ago, he still hasn't moved his bloody stuff out including his bed :eek:

Do you have Freegle/Freecycle in your area? It may be worth checking as beds come round on our groups regularly.

A friend of mine looks after her grandchild one full day each week whilst her son and dil go to work. I asked her if she was claiming national insurance credits, as these can count towards her state pension....she did not know about this...but is now going to claim. So it occurred to me....are the elite who care for their grandchildren aware of this?

So sorry juju I didn't recognise your number. I get full NI contributions due to illness and don't have granddaughter much anyway. Sorry for confusion last night. I am sure this will help some of the elite out.

I told you the blow up mattress on the floor would do for me
