I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. Mum and Brian came yesterday and not only moved everything (all I've to do is return tonight to pick up scraps of this and that and clean the old place up then ~ ta-daa! all done and gone!! I can't believe it!¬~They took me to Ikea and bought me literally a cartload and more of housewares. Slate grey plates, mugs, bowls (the funky style: without brims)... an amazing clothes airer/dryer that can do at least three washloads at a time (see it here).
I'm not smoking in bed any more because they bought me a new double quilt with pillows and two sets of the most amazing covers... as I say, the most beautiful one is in blue, green, red orange and purple strips... it's like sleeping wrapped in rainbows.
And my own washing machine works. So well in fact that I've already put through five washloads. (Turning into a right little housewife. I'll declare myself lesbian next..(!)
And I'm tapping this at the old internet cafe. The same one I used to sit at for hours in the good old days when I actually had facilities to keep up internet friendships instead of getting constantly logged out just as I'm about to say something as seems to have happened ever since I went to the last place. And couldn't find anywhere with half decent broadband. Or a proper accounts system. Or fair charging.
I'm back! I'm back home. It's all good. Pray God all goes well and I get to stay at this new place as long as I please...
SEE WHETHER YOU agree with Mother Hubbard, who says I have terrible bad taste and have a look at the two styles of quilt covers I got.
This was my favourite (though my stripes went longways not sideways)
This one looks more "bedlike" and homely (in the Brit sense of cosy and nice) when it's on.
... You might need to "enlarge" in order to see the colours from the stripes...
... OK, OK it's more "multicolour" than "rainbow"... yeah...
... & I agree with Brian now, the main one is indeed even labelled "purple/multicolour". When he said it was purple earlier I affected not to know what he meant. The original purple one I went for yesterday was such an intense swathe of purpleness, Brian said it looked royal. I said it looked like Cadbury's chocolate wrappers. My Mum just tried not to laugh...
Because Mumzy bought me a new one, I now have two double quilts, my beddy-byes is currently sporting both designs... like an enormous rainbow-stripey nest...
...Baby Itchy has Christened it aready by doing droppings on my pillow...
Hey I've just realized I'm 36 years old and relying on my parents still to sort me out. Take heed kids! This is what heroin does to you!!
ANYWAY, BACK TO THE PUBLIC VOTE:
AS THE SAYING GOES, THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE. BUT TELL ME: DO YOU LIKE MY "GOOD TASTE" OR NOT?

Good for you, gleds! I wish you could take a photo; I'd love to see it all!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you ! I am sure now everything will end good !
ReplyDeleteAwesome! There is nothing like new sheets in a new home. Sounds like a great place. How crazy is Ikea?!?
ReplyDeletesssooo pleased for you.... things are certainly on the up for you lets hope it stays that way X
ReplyDeleteTutTut: I wish I could take a photo, too. It looks amazing. (For me, especially.)
ReplyDeleteGattina: I hope so, too
Reeny: I'd never been to Ikea. Somehow I'd assumed it was just perhaps a larger, more extensive Habitat. "More extensive?" this was like a new planet dropped down from outer space and wrapped in Cardboard...
Sally: STAYS THAT WAY FOR EVER. HOPEFULLY....
How lucky are you?
ReplyDeleteI like both sets of bedcovers and I hope you can stay in your new place, I think you're going to be happy there. :)
I really hope so. Glad you like them both. But would you have CHOSEN them? a-ha. mehears diplomatic silence/!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you Gledwood! = )
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's going to be cozy place.
It was nice to hear from you... it seems like forever, which is probably like 3 weeks, haha. I responded if you want to read it. ; )
Congrats, Gled! Good to hear you got there safe and sound. I hope you can stay there for a while now. Also I hope it will give you a somewhat more positive look on life. It all sounds so good that it bloody well should I think :-)
ReplyDeleteI love beautiful bed linen. Don't ask me why but there's nothing nicer than sinking into a bed with beautiful covers. You're a big girl's blowse rainbow boy but they're both pretty. For God's sake don't smoke in bed you putz. Beds are for sex and sleeping! You sound so bright, it's good to read!
ReplyDeleteOh Gleds, it sounds as if the ending of 2008 is bringing a new beginning to your life! Your new home sounds wonderful and how lovely that your family helped out so well with your move. They must be so proud of the way you are working to get your life back in your own hands. Sweet dreams in your rainbow bed!
ReplyDeleteLUCINDA: where have you been..??!??
ReplyDeleteVINCENT: it's far easier to be "normal" in normal surroundings...
KAHSHE: the rainbow bed conjures up memories of a certain dream I meant to post about... yes! let's hope 2009 continues this vein. And if I have to move again let it be somewhere even better!!
BAINO: it was difficult not smoking in bed in the last places because they were so crowded it was the only real piece of furniture I had....
So, are you still using heroin? How does that fit into this whole move?
ReplyDeletesome things never change
