    I hope you all get some rest tonight and youngest soon picks up again.

    I'll be going past yours in the train tomorrow and will think of you as I do so!

    Had to buy bus fare to take youngest to the Dr this morning. Fingers crossed we don't need to go again until at least Friday or we will have to walk! Didn't have enough to get cash out for a taxi.

    Thank you for all the replies

    Will be back for a proper catch up when she gives me 5 minutes

    Morning Wannabe, hope you managed to get some sleep. Considering they know how poorly she is would you not be able to book a home visit. I know we're encouraged not to ask for them these days, but they do still do them. Hope your day isn't too exhausting. I sent you a PM. xx

    Has anyone bought a bed from Amazon?

    I've been looking on eBay but then I'd have to find a way of getting it here. However there's some reasonably priced on Amazon. It's only to get an idea of costs/wheres best so I have an idea of what I'm aiming for.

    Reviews welcome or other places to look.

    Can't help you with Amazon WB. We buy our beds from a local shop that's been going donkey's years, the biggest plus point being free delivery, they'll take it upstairs for us and also take the old mattress away for nothing.

    Are you looking for a new bed and mattress or just a new mattress? x

    I have neither so both is the end goal. A mattress first as I can put it on the floor.
