..............and has only had me in it most of the time

Naughty Ja...x ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

Mine is 7 years old it was expensive and has only had me in it most of the time...so not much wear and tear....when I bought it a hard mattress suited me but ....not now

I remember before I went to cancun I used to read the reviews about the hotel and nearly everyone complained about the beds being too hard....when I got there I found the bed softer than the one back home...so it must be hard :-D

I got new frames for my glasses yesterday. I only got these glasses last November, but I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the top on one side had got scratched and lost its colour.

I took them in on Wednesday, and they ordered a new replacement pair of frames. They arrived on Friday morning!.

Chatting to the optician as he fitted them again, I discovered that they have found that many of these colour metal frames do in fact get scratched very easily ................ the manufacturers seem to accept it because he said they have extended their warranty to the optician, and send replacement frames without any question!

They don't seem to be doing any research into the reason why.

The optician said one problem might be that I do have my glasses on a cord for when I take them off (they're reading glasses)....... and they may hit the edge of a desk, table or such, and so get scratched. I don't wear clip-on sunglasses or over-the-glasses sunglasses ...................... but have wondered whether the seatbelt in the car might have rubbed the frame?

Anyway, they were replaced at no cost to me!

This afternoon I'm going to make a stew ..... I'll have some for my dinner, then freeze portions. That means we have stew, fish pie and shepherd's pie in the freezer if OH can't think of what to cook over the next 2 weeks.


He is the main cook in the house, anyway!

up to $10,000



that's somewhere between £4500 and £5000

The mattress, or bed system, that blows my mind is one called Dux ...... apparently from Sweden, or somw such place


They offer rebates of $500 or $1000 if you buy a new mattress or system from them


What the h*** do they cost if they can give you that much of a rebate?????

I had OH bring up the box containing my lighter weight winter tops, and I'm switching them for most of my summer tops. It has turned much cooler, and damper!, and I suddenly thought last night that I might have some arm movement problems after Tuesday.


So, rather than having to ask him to do the changeover, I'm doing it a little early.

5years....Wanna buy me a new mattress Ginny??
The one I want next is £499.00
No???
Oh well,I will just turn it over again and buy a new cover for it instead then...

And....always change your mattress every five or so years

How long have you had yours?

On the way to the loo.....

Your mattress should suit you....I like very firm as I broke my back years ago and need one....the foam you talk about is ace...I have a hard mattress with a mix of both

Ace....snuggles you but also holds you firm

It is quite a thick and heavy mattress, the sheets I have at the moment are pretty tight...oh well suppose some new ones wont hurt.

I shall give them a call ..I have been waiting for a recommendation before I bought..thanks Jonesey

Jax,

Unless your existing mattress is particularly thick I don't think that you should have a problem using your existing fitted sheets. That is what we use. Also don't forget you can get 20% discount of the prices shown on the website. The chap who owns the company is called Mark.

For those interested I, like, Jax sleep Au Naturelle I find that my skin fits me better than jimjams and as Cyn says it cuts down on the laundry ;-)

Dunno ja...x, I only use flat sheets anyway.......but I can understand that fitted sheets are easier for you.


Ask Jonesey - he knows these things!


Hmmm.....crater eh Fans? I would only leave a ripple of shapeliness. :-P

Think I might order the topper at £140 but does that mean I will need flat sheets as fitted wont be any good will they?

ja...x

Let me know how you get on Cynhs as I need a new matress too !!!

Dea Xxx

Jonesey - thank you for that link - I have had a look and will discuss it with OH. You are a gentleman.......................despite what that Fans says.





ja...x - sounds a bit draughty to me..........at least you don't have to iron it :-D

Hav'nt worn anything in bed for 10 years since I left the husband Fans :-D

But I realise some of the others do not agree with my sleeping attire so thats why I mentioned nightwear

I bought a couple of their mattresses in 2008 and have been very pleased with them.
