The saga of my new mattress
Nov. 29th, 2006 09:15 amSo Jamie and I are shopping on Sunday. We're driving to Tesco (which takes us past a retail park containing such fabulous outlets as Hobbycraft, Toys 'R' Us, Homebase, Staples, Comet etc) and Jamie says "do you want to have a wander round any of these while we're here?"
I opt for Hobbycraft, so we go in to see if we can find him a remote control helicopter. We can't, and on the way out Jamie spots the newly opened Bensons for Beds megastore a few doors down. So we go in to "see how much mattresses cost".
Ten minutes later, we're walking out of the shop clutching a receipt and eagerly awaiting our Tuesday afternoon delivery.
But, I can hear you cry, this is not much of a saga. Well the story continues..
