True fact...

impulsereaderYou guys seem a lot more concerned about my physical safety than I am. Thanks for that, I'll have to be sure to keep running things by you.
Darn it. Because as nice as the new ones are (and they are nice, djarum99, thank you ever so, I may very well order from there), and there are a couple which fall into my price range, I like the idea of an antique. And the other one I really like (though the pictures were taken outside and there's quite a lot of sun glare which I wonder about) is some wacky 3/4 mattress size which, when googled, basically tells me the universe laughs.
And, of course, the local option is a gorgeous wooden frame with a matching vanity table - which would normally send me into fits of dancing and happiness and typing without commas like this - but the new place is tiny, (well, not nearly as tiny as some of the places I saw *shudders*) honestly tiny, (because when you travel with a minimum of 3 bookcases tiny is relative) and I already have all this wood which I'm now trying to balance out instead of replacing straight away to make the place not feel crowded with stuff (except it cannot help but be crowded with books).
I'm sure I've already mentioned that I hate moving. Oh, and as a lovely bonus I'm covered in bruises from the eight trips down the three flights of stairs yesterday with various boxes and bags filled with stuff. How on earth do we end up with so much stuff we don't actually want? I am banned from ever again having such a thing as 'closet space' because I simply fill it with things I don't want to think about.
Sorry, that turned ranty at the end but I'm stubbornly hitting post without editing myself on the grounds that I've made a valid point about materialism. Also I need to go finish packing and I don't have time to make it all sound more sensible.

(Chicklet picked the nicest and cushiest one - she is my daughter.) When you run into trouble is with a bed that needs a 3/4 mattress in extra long size. Those are completely impossible to find! It was easier to replace the side of the bed than to find one of those. Especially one which is actually comfortable.
