Went out yesterday for the first time since Good Friday… and I had that sort of high… a combo of feeling better than I have in weeks AND being back in the outside world…
So I was in Wilkinsons… looking at 100% cotton bedding (MS nurse recommended I go for all cotton as I get so hot at night) and high as a bloody kite (my only excuse) I bought a BRIGHT RED duvet cover and matching pillow cases.
After sleeping (trying to sleep) in bright red bedding for one night I realise now that I HATE it!!!
I like my bedroom in soft, restful, cosy colours and the bright red looked ghastly!!!
Luckily the whole set was only £15 as I’m going to have to re-home it.
I also realised, once I had come back to Planet Earth, that it looked like my grandson’s bedroom which is all done out in Arsenal colours!
Oh dear… I was a bit upset about it this morning but luckily common sense has kicked in and I’m now able to see the funny side…
This really made me laugh Pat. It’s just the sort of thing I would end up doing. Although RED? Definitely looks like you’re an Arsenal, Man U or Liverpool supporter! I’m sure you’ll find someone young who’ll like it! Next time - get something in a pastel shade! Hope you have a restful night tonight! LMAO, Teresa xx
I am sure a local bordello would be very grateful for a donation. Failing that, being an Arsenal supporter is no bad thing, although you do need a strong ticker these days.
LOL I know what you mean, it is easy to get carried away we once decorated the hall and bathroom canary yellow, it never lasted long. That was in the days I could climb ladders and hold a paint brush dim distant memories. Still I have ou eldest daughter here it is her birthday so a houseful plus cake.
I will hon. Giving them to local Oxfam shop… along with 3 sets of poly-cotton bedding.
I did actually buy another cotton set… in olive green… I know that sounds awful but actually looks rather lovely… most of my bedroom furniture is old and painted white so the green gives it a Mediteranian look and is very calming.
With the white furniture and red bedding it did look like I’m an Arsenal supporing bordello keeper!
AND I have to say that sleeping in all cotton (I’ve now got 100% cotton nighties too) really does make a difference!
All cotton sounds lovely Pat but doesn’t that mean more ironing? Glad you found a happier colour combination - it sounds really lovely! LOL to the Arsenal bordello! Teresa xx
I hate it too but cannot cope with wrinkled clothes. Am finding it harder and harder to do as my left arm gets weaker bit by bit. Luckily have taught three of my four boys to iron - ( it will be good for them when they leave home ). So, they do a good stint for me. It’s their turn tonight. Yippee! Teresa xx
Good for you Teresa. I taught my son how to iron as well… he now does his share with his wife. You’re doing them a huge favour by teaching them… and an even bigger favour for their future partners!
That’s what I thought. My husband was so useless domestically when we first got together (he isn’t any more!) that I felt some girls would thank me at some point. They can all cook too and change a bed! The one I haven’t done yet is to teach them to clean the bathroom! Better do that before the eldest goes to uni in the autumn! Teresa xx
