Full Weekend
And plenty of sleep in there to boot.
I’m not ashamed to say I slept in on both Saturday - and this morning. It was cold. Too cold to force yourself out of bed when there’s really no reason to get out. True, its a waste of a morning - and I’m probably the biggest advocate on the ‘less sleep is more life’ policy, but when the outside temperature is 4 Degrees Celcius and its about 25 under the sheets, the decision is really completely simple.
That’s not to say I’ve had a completely lazy weekend. Shopping had some place in there, as well as hanging a new unit for DVD’s on the wall.
One trip to Mac’s Hardware, five hollow wall anchors, screws, three shelving brackets, two measurements, a new drill bit (and a partridge in a pear tree) later, and it was on the wall. Populated with tin box set DVD’s and other shelf-space-wasting items moments later. After that, it was time to sit back, enjoy the fruits of my labour and watch a DVD.
This afternoon I went bed shopping. Who knew a Queen bed was so large? It looks quite mediocre on the shop floor, but run the measuring tape over my room and you quickly realise a) how looks can be deceiving and b) how small my room is.
So its back to the drawing board. Double-bed seems to be the only thing I’ll fit in here.
I’m going for one of those low-slung pointy ones, sitting close to the ground with the little timber ‘tray’ around the edge. A ‘platform’ bed as they call them.
(but in black or white…)
Something modern to freshen up the room. I guess it also means I’ll have to get a new desk to match up the more modernistic feel, but then its all stuff I can take with me when I move out, so one can’t complain.

The new shelving looks really good!
Don’t fill it up too quick though or you’ll need to get another shelf 
Shopping for a bed is hard, was hard for me trying to find the right one at the right price but I guess with you it’s different as you’ve got a smaller room to me. I saw plenty of those Platform beds when I was looking for mine and I was never that keen on them, mainly because I don’t like being that close to the floor (not too sure why) but also when I’m in bed I like to either hang my arms or my feet over the edge of the bed and not touch anthing
so the wooden ‘platform’ would get in the way 
I’m weird and very picky 
good luck with searching for a new bed! Hope you find the one you want hun!

Thanks Bec! Yeah, was very happy with it! Will try not to fill it up too quickly
Yeah, its tricky.. only checked two places this afternoon. They have a pretty small range so its limited choices so far. And not being able to fit a Queen Size in my room is going to be a problem - they are nearly all Queens or Singles around!
LOL @ you and the sleeping habits! Maybe you should get a bed close to the ground though, then you wouldn’t be able to hide your glasses under it and stuff hun!

I like it my baby
. I wanted one but everyone disagreed and told me how silly they are yadee yadee. You know what my family are like.
I think you should get it in Black…and have white sheets and etc. That would look good.
As for the shelves well they look awesome only I think you should get another one and turn it upside down like we said to make it like a jigsaw. Plus the way we are going you will need it pretty soon. I almost have 100 DVD’s. That is so good for me. Our collection combined will be great!
I want a new desk too
I can’t do much work on mine cause it’s so small. And I don’t really have the space in my room unless I move my bed around. And I think the time will be coming soon that I will need some sort of shelving for my DVD’s. I am on the last shelf now and nearly full.
