Lol that's an image and a half Graham.

Wendy, you are right about time flying as we get older, I wonder why that is, it's definitely noticeable that no sooner have I put the Christmas stuff away, it's time to get it all out again.

Hope you find a nice comfy bed that isn't going to break the bank.

And another, and another, and another as long as I don't nred to have a baby for the cot in the middle

Perhaps you could buy a bed from the Russians. When you open it you'll find there's another smaller bed inside. :-D

Yes Ann they were in Tenerife before I was. I hope they stay down the south I don't fancy one large Russian company owning most of Puerto :-D

Hopefully as our end of the island is still traditionally Canarian and completely different to the south coming here will be of little interest to them.

Russians were in the South at least 6 years ago Wendy when we had our timeshare there.

You can get a standard size mattress for half of that price, but because of the heat & humidity here (& the shopkeepers pockets) they recommend that you get one which "breathes". The cheaper ones crumble within 5 years or so.
Happy hunting. :-D :-D

Wisechild... No I haven't looked at prices yet. I've just got the names of a couple of shops that friends have used. I will be looking next week when my visitors are settled in. I hope it's not 800€ as I heed a bigger than average size as the bed needs to go between existing fitted small sets of drawers/night tables.

We don't have any Russians here in the north of the island or not that I know of but they are definitely buying property in the south.

Wendy.
Don´t know what it´s like where you are, but have you seen the price of a decent mattress?. Bed base, no problem. Cheap as chips, but a decent mattress comes in at around €800plus.
For the record, luckily we are on the ground floor.....well thought out in advance & the Russians have practically taken over the island. What they don´t already own, they are bidding for.
Do they know something we don´t?

Sounds like a good idea Wendy.

Liz, the time does seem to whizz by and the older you get the faster it goes, or so it seems. I think my new bed will probably out live me as it will be leading a very quiet life. Your new vacuum cleaner sounds good even better that you have the OHusing it :-)


Ann, the bed is probably repairable and one of my visitors said he would have a look at it today but to but to be honest I think it's time for a new one anyway. The same problem will only reoccur. The base has blocked in sides and so you can't clean under it without moving it. The mattress is attached to the base a sort of all in one thing. Just going to get a base on legs and a decent mattress now.

Oh this thread brought back memories, I posted my first thread on these boards saying The bed is broken! and asking about memory foam mattresses. That was around this time in 2005, where does the time go?

The bed we got is going strong and the memory foam mattress was a good buy, it's very comfy.

Hope you can have some luck Wendy, so there are no more big outlays.

O.h. got a new vac. cleaner last week, it's a Samsung, half price in Co-op. It's very sophisticated, got remote controls on the handle and is powerful. For the first time in years he has vacuumed the carpets, and I am going to play dumb with the fancy controls so he keeps doing the cleaning lol You have reminded me that I must get the guarantee stamped.

T says how broken is it?

:-D :-D :-D actually there are some very nice beds on there. I wonder if they deliver all this way !!

Sadly I've been the only person in the bed for the last two years.

It has suffered somewhat being pulled out and pushed back for cleaning. I am now lucky enough to have a cleaner once a week and all I can say is she's a lot more thorough than I was :-D

Actually, I just looked at that site and there's quite a few references to overweight people. Don't go thinking I meant that as a reference to you ;-)

Perhaps you and your OH should try this:

:-D :-D :-D

It's my Spanish pension from M. Workers also get 14 salaries a year, 2 in July and December. I don't know why?

Why do you get double pension? :-S

:-) Wisechild it may well be the Russian Mafia soon they are already infiltrating the Canary Islands. Hope you're not on the top floor with no lift.

Shelly you need to move to Tenerife to get your double pension. It doesn't happen in England
Shall I send you some details on houses for sale
I wish I was ten years under the pension age

:-D :-D :-D

Know how you feel.
Last month, fridge freezer gave up the ghost. Monday it was the water heater. On top of that, a bill of €450 from the communitario for repair of tiles on the staircase, on top of the €350 annual community charge. Next they want over €1000 per flat for outside painting. They must think the block is owned by Russian Mafia. There are only 9 flats. No pool, no lift, just a scrubby bit of lawn round the building. What are they maintaining for goodness sake?

bloody hell dubble pension carnt what till im that old
got just over 10 years to wait

:-D :-D :-D
