Your bank balance is looking great.
£150 should be enough for a bed and associated bits for it, but I've not bought one for a number of years and there may be some deals about.
Glad DD is feeling better and is back at school, she'll be having a great time with her friends.
Have a lovely day xx0 -
You can get a single mattress for below £50 and a bed frame for £50. If you get a duvet and pillows from Primarni, they'll probably cost around £20 for the lot. Bed sheets, Primarni again, £15 or so for a full set. So your £150 should be enough!Debt Totals July 2019::

Also check the BIG Swedish Furniture Store (if you have one near you) their beds and mattresses are fantastic

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

This is similar to what I was thinking £50 frame, £50 mattress, £50 duvet/covers/pillows/curtains etc
Thanks US there is one in Manchester I think the delivery is expensive last time I looked but I'll check again when I've saved.
Going to try and use survey earnings etc. It's not an urgent rush

The mattress is the most important part of a bed, comfort and quality, at an affordable price of course BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron

A belated Happy Birthday Wannabe! So glad that you had a lovely day
Do you have any outlet stores for bed shops near you? We used to have one near us (sadly closed now because so many flats are being built on the old industrial estate) and got a really good deal on the frame when we bought our bed. It is good to visit and try out the different types of mattress etc too 0 -
I find that IKEA's beds are actually really expensive. Their delivery is something like £30 as well!Debt Totals July 2019::

Random input on the bed situation from me - I got a superking sized duvet and two pillowcases for £7.99 from the Argos outlet. It's lovely and feels nice too. It's the cheapest I've ever seen them in this size! Worth looking out for argos outlet on 3bay?Sealed Pot Challenge 075
