More Bah and more Humbug

[annwfyn]

Today has proven itself a failure. I went to Aldershot today with pierot. I saw a gorgeous big brass bed there a month and a half ago, and I had finally decided. I would buy it. I had my chequebook. I'd moved money into my current account. I was poised to spend.

I got there. I dropped jez off with his team. I went to the bed shop.

Some bastard bought the bed I wanted two days previous. And they didn't have any others and wouldn't be ordering any more in as they were changing their stock. Dream beds, in Guildford, may have the same bed, but the man behind the counter wasn't sure.

I sulked. And I pouted. And I cheered myself up by buying Fading Suns and 7th Sea books in the games shop next door where I found a new and shiney game which appears to have been partially written by time_for_tea which is very exciting. There were also thanks for fetket in the front cover. This was exciting.

But...but...but...bah! Bed! No bed! Damn them!

There should be laws about shops selling objects which are CLEARLY mine!

some good news

The pencils arrived :)
Thank you so much for sending them!
*hugs*

Oh my! Those must have taken weeks to get there! I am quite unimpressed with the postal service but glad they got to you!

Robin's send me something just before my birthday that still hasn't arrived either.

Apparently the postal service is under super harsh checking these days.

Ah I remember the days where sending something from the UK to Belgium or the other way around took 3 to 5 days O_o
The good old pre-bombing days that were!

I can just imagine your heartache. I'm sorry doll!!

Won't the flat we move into be furnished? I was also thinking of such things just the other day. I don't know about yours and Jez's bed, but Ryan's isn't the most comfortable. I'm used to being surrounded by feather beds, and pillowtops. I'm wondering whether what is in Ry's room is the standard, or if there is hope that the new apartment will be better equipped.

Again, I'm sorry to hear about the brass bed... I'm sure that you'll find something you like just as much if not more.

XOXO

Yeah...I'll find something. And I don't know if the flat we move into will be furnished - probably - but I'd quite like my own bed. It's an odd thing...just something I've wanted for a while. I like having some constants in my life - something stable - and a bed is something I think is a part of that.

[christabelle9.livejournal.com]

yeah, I know what you mean.

It is. I had no idea. What sort of game is it?

[fetket.livejournal.com]

I'm presuming it's A-State (http://www.contestedground.co.uk/).

Willy Wonka

When we saw Willy Wonka, Veruka Salt really reminded me of you... :)

Not wanting to spoil your bratling moment here but..

A bed is a bed, the defining features of it should be is it comfortable, will it fit in the room and is it big enough for my needs, and how expensive is it. Given all these facts its best to go for the cheapest option that fulfills the other characteristics.. not with something that looks shiney.

Also bearing in mind the attention span of a sally its probably best to get something bog standard as then at least you'll thing of it just as an object of rest from the start and not some shiney thing you'll go off of in a few months and want a new one of as it doesn't fulfill the other characteristics well anyway..
added to that you'll always find another bed that is shiney if you look hard enough even if it isn't that one.

Maybe thats just me but one shouldn't be so fickle and image obsessed

and lastly the most relevant question do you really need a new bed?

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't own a bed at the moment, my current bed* is slightly lacking in some reasonable significant bedlike qualities (and is falling apart a bit) and I have been thinking about getting a brass bedstead for a long time.

*ponders*

Sally's attention span does sometimes stay. I've remained of the opinion that my current boyfriend is rather shiney for over a year now, I'm still very fond of my tattoo which is about six years old now, and I really do like certain possessions of mine such as my patchwork quilt which I've had for ages. I'm quite bad at being distracted by sparklies, but I do rather like things long term. Sometimes.

And yes. In a sensible mood, I'll find another bed. I was mostly just mildly put out at it having been sold after I'd driven out to Aldershot to find it gone.


*Bed I sleep in, that is

[skinny-cartman.livejournal.com]

well I must admit you are doing okay on some fronts of your distractability disorder :-)

I'm glad you can still be sensible too, you seem to have been mildly stompy lately kinda worrying

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

I've gotten LOADS better. I think I may have the powers of concentration of...ooooh...at least a five year.

I've been in an odd mood over the last couple of days, actually. I don't quite know why. Stressed and emotional and a bit ratty and I don't quite get it. It's very silly, because there's nothing that wrong. Life is mostly pretty good, although I am beginning to get a tad anxious about not being able to get temp work (apparently August is bad for temp work) and I've been hurting a lot - I seem to have knackered back and shoulders.

Bah. This weekend should hopefully be a nice and chilled out weekend, with cinema and not having to do too much and world will become a better place.

[fetket.livejournal.com]

There are such laws.
They have been acted upon.
Those people will never do it again.

Unfortunately the bed was irreversibly damaged, sorry.

A good bed is vital... and a bed, like any piece of furnitire should fit in with you image of a house. The design of the bed is as important as any table, chair or picture. Call guidlford, ask tem if thgey have it and then order it from there.

And get King size. I was once advised to go with king sized and I have never looked back.
