\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Well we are back in our bedroom again!\u00a0 It\u2019s all sort of make-shift at the moment but that\u2019s how it goes when you are renovating.<\/p>\n

I took this photo last night before crawling into bed.\u00a0 As you can see we have our bed together finally, and a nice big new mattress on top.\u00a0 We had to get a new mattress because the new bed is harder than our old one and made us realize just how crap our old mattress was.<\/p>\n

The only problem is we went to a full support mattress from a NO support mattress, so I kinda feel like I\u2019m sleeping on top of a brick.\u00a0 Hopefully I will get used to it in time, but either way it\u2019s nice to not feel the springs anymore.<\/p>\n

One down side, the new mattress is thicker so none of our old sheets fit.\u00a0 I just happened to have this sheet tucked away in a cupboard still in the package.\u00a0 It\u2019s an Ikea sheet so I guess it makes sense that it fits an Ikea mattress.\u00a0 Clever of them to make it that way though, their own sized mattresses so you kind of have to buy their sheets.<\/p>\n

Now I just have to get some that actually match the decor.\u00a0\u00a0 For now I\u2019ll just deal with it.<\/p>\n

Today we spent the day clearing out our storage room because \u2018grofvuil\u2019 is coming tomorrow.\u00a0 That\u2019s the big garbage guys that you have to make a special appointment with.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty cool though and saves you having to go to the dump.\u00a0 You just find out what day they can come and haul all your old junk out to the curb.\u00a0\u00a0 We managed to clear a lot out, which is great, but it was really tiring.\u00a0\u00a0 That was just getting it outside of our storage room\u2026 tomorrow we have to haul it up the stairs from the basement and get it outside. Ugh!<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we managed to pawn a lot of the stuff off on our new upstairs neighbours.\u00a0 Yeah, I forgot to mention we have new people living upstairs!\u00a0 The asshole neighbour<\/a>\u2019s flat has been occupied now for the last few months by a couple of mysterious Mongolians.\u00a0 They don\u2019t speak English or Dutch so communication can be difficult, but we manage.\u00a0\u00a0 We noticed them carrying one of our old mattresses in the last time we threw out a load of stuff, which clued us in that they probably don\u2019t have a lot at the moment.\u00a0 Today we told them we were going to throw out more stuff tomorrow so they went through it all and took a lot of it, including our old decrepit mattress.\u00a0\u00a0 Tomorrow we are disassembling a cabinet from our spare bedroom and are bringing it up to them.<\/p>\n

Hopefully tomorrow after we take out all our garbage we will still feel like mounting our new headboard.\u00a0 Then I can stop using an Albert Heijn crate as a bedside table.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and yes I do sleep with a teddy<\/a> and I am not ashamed!\u00a0 I know you saw it in the photo and wondered.\u00a0 His name is Turk Turkleton and I love him. Thankyouverymuch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
