(I know that will make a nice change won't it!).....because I have to go sleep.
Last night's itinerary;
Out for early dinner and a beer, early night (no smut please) in readiness for a 4am start today to get Fletch on his flight.
Easy.
WRONG!!
The actuality;
Early dinner and a beer, very relaxing in readiness for the 4am start. Bed early....all went horribly wrong.
Bed collapsed, making big scary cracking noise (honestly we were sleeping), spend hour trying to fix in sleepy miffed state, couldn't fix, grumpy and very unrelaxed. Back to now very sloping and unstable bed, much rolling downhill, no sleep until 3.30am, up at 4.00am, drive to Luton, fight annoyingly happy Tenerife/Malaga hordes. Drop off very tired Fletch dragging bags through heavy rain to terminal, drive home in still very heavy rain, struggle to stay awake, miss last turning (bugger), do extra 20 miles, make it home, get tool box, mend bed (no mean feat)!
Moral of the story: Don't buy an Ikea bed!
Sleep, I need sleep........
*Update;
Fletch's flight delayed, missed connecting train, stuck in middle of nowhere waiting for next one...two hour wait. Total estimated travelling time Luton-Scotland: 10 hours!!! This week is starting well then I see.

Errrm, have you thought of the train?
Even the horrid bus would be better than that.
Oh Jane - poor you! What a start to the week right enough, thanks for the advice about the bed though I had heard about Ikea before... ahem not a bed but large mirrored tiles arrgghh! but we won't go into that...
I know it's not funny, but I had to laugh at the bed collapsing. I mean what have you two been doing to the poor thing!
Wookiee and I have an Ikea bed, have had for a few years now, and we haven't managed to kill it yet, and our combined weight is about 37 stone!
Maybe it's karmic retribution for teasing us in the previous post :)
It's a bugger about Fletch's flight and connection though, and I can sympathise with the driving tired in the rain and missing your turning. Hope you get chance to catch up a bit now you've fixed the bed.
Ikea beds seem to fall apart quite a bit. Ian has the same problem, although I think he's fixed it now.
4am is not fun.
In 10 hours, he could be in the US! I bet he's happy.
Get sleep. :)
Q sat on my bed and it collapsed totally almost catapaulting me out of it. The frame is now in bits and pieces in the garage and I'm saving up for a new bed.
10 hours to get to Scotland? That's crazy-talk.
Always with the glass half empty thoughts, eh ??
You had a lovely cozy, rolling together night - you young people !!
And you had a classic Japanese no legs bed till you 'mended' it !
And as you're obviously on a roll, the sun might appear today.
S'all good.
Day can only get better then! Hope so!
And sorry but I did have a giggle at the bed collapsing cause it's happened to me as well. A REAL pain though, especially when you have an early start ahead.
Oh dear - what a horrible experience! It's a good reason to have a spare room, huh? LOL!
Sorry to hear about Fletch's journey too - that's no fun at all.
Tell me, are all these collapsing beds Ikea?
Poor Jane! How utterly frustrating :o/
That just means it has to get better!!!! :)
Nightmare!!
Oh dear :o( Sounds like you're having a day like my day last Thursday. Grrrr
