More Bah and more Humbug

annwfynToday 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 bytime_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!

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

Date: 2005-08-12 10:14 pm (UTC)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.
