Day 79 - Overdone it!

So, Stage 3: Start reclaiming the house. Amazingly, Baggy managed to track down The Domestic Goddess. She's not now sure that that was actually a good thing. The Goddess has made Baggy over do things completely!

Last weekend Baggy and Calum went and ordered a new double mattress. The one on Cal's bed (which isn't even a double, it's only 4ft) is about ten years old (at least) and it kills Baggy's back. Too hard. The one on Baggy's bed is eighteen years old and it kills Cal's back. Too soft. So Baggy and Cal lay on some in the shop and found one that works for both of them. It's being delivered next Monday. Clever Bird realised that this would be rather a large problem without some action from The Goddess. The new mattress is going on Baggy's bed. Well it's Baggy and Cal's bed of course, but it came from Baggy's previous house. But it's the bigger bed, so Baggy "won". It is however in the smaller bedroom. Hmmmmm. It seemed to make sense six years ago when they moved in to this house. Both beds had to be "built" in the bedrooms. It was a big deal. So there they have stayed. But you cannot swing a gerbil in the smaller bedroom at the best of times. But in the last few years it has got worse and worse. There is so much stuff on every surface and the floor that you cannot even swing an ant! There was no way that the delivery men could get the mattress in there! Three plastic packing crates of Dad's stuff have been stacked on the floor for over three years. Sitting in front of the wardrobe doors. Yes quite. So in her new positive frame of mind, Baggy decided to tackle them first.

Job done. Well not really! Stuff relocated would be a more accurate description. But at least Baggy could move the empty crates out of the way. Creative Clara will have a new project at some point too. There are so many photos. Just in old shoe boxes. They need sorting. They are of Baggy's family. Clara can feel a bit of delving and a family tree coming on. Oh yeah. But not yet. Too much to do. It has taken The Goddess over five hours so far. You could now possibly swing a Guinea Pig in there. But Baggy couldn't get into bed at all at the moment. There are too many things on top of it. NOT bedding. Back into the fray it is then. Freda Fretter just wishes that Baggy's arm wasn't "burning" quite as much as it is......
