Oh flippin' eck! She's only gone and got an interview for exams invigilation.   That makes me 2 for 3 on the applications front.

That would keep me out of trouble from Easter through to Summer hols.  Fingers crossed

I initially thought you meant SG...!

Well done you ⭐

now THAT I'd like to hear (I also thought the same thing initially, then had scenes from Catherine Tate's Nan running amuck through my head)

Oh dear god no!

Knackered due to house fire on neighbouring road, and at 4am my bedroom was like a strobing disco.  Hope they are all ok, and that they have insurance. 

There are so many forgotten expenses when buying a bed.  The mattress and the frame, fair enough, but then bigger sheets, /mattress protector/duvet/cover, so deliberately spent under £30 so that I did not get free delivery, then the next day delivery option was only £1 more expensive than standard delivery , but still £3.95 cheaper than free delivery + next day delivery.  Anyway, by bedtime tomorrow I will have a mattress, a bed frame, a mattress protector, and  2 sets of sheets.  The rest  (bigger duvet, duvet cover, valance) can come later.

Ahh yes, all the 'extras' you need - it's like getting a pet (well sort of, except the bed won't die if you don't feed it) How are mattress protectors so expensive - I just 'treated' us to a new one (as the prev one that came with our mattress was shedding) and it was £50. Ouch!

Oh, I went Mr Al Dee's finest  winter bedding clearance at £16   Who knew a mattress protector was a seasonal item, as if in spring/summer you  build a nest in a nearby tree.

The mattress protector is so expensive because if you get a single mark on the mattress & there is a problem with it they won't put it right.  A form of insurance I suppose.

a foam of insurance maybe?

I literally had no idea about this - then again I've never considered having any issues with my mattress (bar OH taking up half of it  )

When I bought one just before lockdown I was shown it in the t & cs.
