How complicated can it be?

Last week I checked the year planner on the wall of my boss's office, the weeks are filled with highlighter and names. There are currently 4 of us who have to fit our holidays around each other. Myself, BG who works part time doing the same work as me, Bob who is full time but although he helps out when we are busy he is doing more of a sales analysis job these days and our boss. BG and Boss have both got most of their leave booked already. BG also has some unpaid leave to cover days during the summer when she has no one to look after her young children. Anyway last week I noticed that next week is empty and as it is now May I thought maybe I would treat myself to a few days leave. I thought perhaps I would make it another long weekend and have next Monday and Tuesday off. This worked out quite well when I ordered my new bed as they can deliver it on Tues 13th May.

However on arriving at work today I asked if I could have next Monday and Tuesday off. But I can't. My boss is going to be at a Trade Fair working for two days then she is out visiting customers on Wednesday and out again on Thursday. The following week Bob is due to be out of the office visiting customers then my boss is going on holiday for a couple of weeks. Then BG is in on alternate days for the next week. Bob and I have now booked a week each in August even though neither of us have any plans, just so that we do manage to get a holiday.

Now going back to having my bed delivered. It might be ok if it is delivered on Tuesday morning and I can get into work by lunch time as my Boss doesn't have to be at the Trade Fair until 1pm, an hour away from our office. This means being there by midday, It takes approx 30 mins to get there from home so I would be leaving home by 11.30am latest. Now when I agreed to the delivery being on Tuesday I was told they would call me a couple of days earlier to book either a morning or an afternoon slot. I would guess that a morning slot goes upto 1pm (they usually do). So what are my chances if I book a morning slot that my bed will be delivered before 11.30am. I could choose an afternoon slot as ET will be home from school by 2.45 and OJ home from College by 3pm on Tuesdays. But what is the betting that if I select an afternoon slot they will arrive before 2.45pm.

I have asked my lovely mummy if she can house sit but she has a Dr's appointment that morning and is on a course in the afternoon. Another alternative is to change the date of delivery but which day and how long would I then have to wait ......I don't want to wait for my bed sob sob I want it now or at least next week. I don't suppose they deliver on saturdays...that would be asking too much.

I want my bed!!!!!!!!!!!

Bed

So an early night it was. I thought I would make use of my new DVD player that I got for my birthday a few weeks ago and so settled in my bed to watch ' What women want' I think thats what it is called. ok so there I was settled and comfortable, for some reason I was feeling horny so grabbed my gold lady lust finger and started to play as I watched the start of the film. I was letting my imagination work as I thought about Romeo being there with me. Well it wasn't long before I had a lovely orgasm and the next thing I knew I was woken up when my boys got home from watching cricket. I hadn't seen much of the film.

This morning I woke up with bad back pains. This has been happening everytime I try to catch up on some sleep. If I am in bed for more than 5 or 6 hours I get back pain. Last week I finally got the loan I had been thinking about for a while to pay off my council tax and rent arrears. The money went into my mum's (she my guarantor) bank account, she has now transferred it into my account or at least we hope she has. so I should get it on tuesday or wednesday as monday is a bank holiday. So knowing that I an getting this money I decided to treat myself to a new bed (one that the kids won't break when wrestling). Maybe then I can catch up on sleep without getting back pain. first I collected mother and dragged her around a couple of stores ...well its good excercise for her to walk without her stick for a while but she did keep sitting down 'testing the chairs' She thinks I should go for a divan.

I said no as I have had two divans in two years and the boys have broken two of them. No she says that is because you have ones with drawers what you need is a solid divan.

that would be no good for me as I need the storage space. In my mind I am thinking more of a metal bed. I found several but as I need to sit on the end of my bed to use my computer (the one that refuses to connect to the internet today as it wont recognise the adapter) these were not ecaxtly going to be ideal.

Good space under the bed for drawers but could be uncomfortable to sit on the end of it!! Besides they all seemed to have wooden slats as the base. Hmmmm not convinced that these would survive my boys. Anyway next we looked at wooden beds, mother suggested this one!!

Now this could be interesting in my love life but can't you just imagine my boys swinging off these posts...they just wouldn't be able to resist. So another store, more divans, more metal beds with fancy iron work then I found the bed for me. Wooden with wooden slats that have a metal support running down the middle the slats are not flat so have more give in them so they stand a better chance of survival. I am having a different matress from the one on the bed in the store though as the one on the opposite bed is an orthodedic one and cheaper so hopefully no more back pain. I am going back tomorrow to make a deposit as the store has a sale on and after tuesday the price goes back to double what it is now. So middle of next week I should have my new bed.

And to solve the computer problem I am going to see if I cna get a cheap laptop then the boys can have the desk top in their room and I can sit whereever I like with the laptop. There will be no need for the boys to even come into my room let along break my bed again !!!

I will comit murder if this one gets broken (unless it is broken by me and my man).

update 2.30pm Sunday

I have just been back to the store and ordered and paid for my new bed £463 booo hooo I know it was a good deal but it is still an awful lot of money for me to spend in one go. I just hope that I will start to sleep better once I get it. Delivery date is tuesday 13th May so just over a week to wait (big smiles)

each night

why is it that no matter where I have been

no matter what I have been doing

no matter who I have been talking to

each night as I climb into my bed

it is you who is in my mind
