For those of you that have been paying attention, you'll remember that we bought a mattress topper to help Dave's backache! (9 Nov. entry - if you can be bothered!) but I couldn't get on with it - so we put it on eBay and yesterday it sold - Great News -
Only problem was how to pack it for the courier to pick up today - Dave found an old Sony CTV box that seemed study enough and we set about trying to get 'The Thing' into a plastic bag and then into the box - well talk about a side-splitting laugh...I tell you Laurel & Hardy have nothing on us... I would like to point out at this stage that it does weigh 12.5kg (that's 27.5lbs in real money) is made of high density foam and has a mind of its own... Finally after a lot of huffing and puffing (on Dave's part, I'll add) we got 'The Thing' into the plastic bag and managed to fold it in half - by sitting on it - and then carried on struggling again for what seemed like a very long time and finally 'We Did It' it was in - YiPPee!!
We then proceeded to tape it in - it isn't going to escape from the plastic bag, study box and a reel of tape - I can tell you
...I do hope that the courier man has help to carry it or at least one of those trolley things...
