In a right pickle!
by Mandz Wed Jul 17 2013, 12:37
We brought some bunk beds for my OH's kids for when they stay with us. We need them up by Friday and as I'm off today and my OH is out working in this heat I thought I would put them up. How hard can it be?!
Took me bloody ages to get the old bed and mattress out of the room, why make mattresses so heavy?!?!
Ive now got it half up and run out of screws!!! So ive now got a very wonky and wobbly set of bunk beds. Looks like attempt 2 will be happening shortly.
I should of known I'd get in a right pickle. Me and my wonderful ideas!!!!!!

Ohh noo! Why are you putting bunkbeds up in this weather! You should be outside sunning yourself 
Im sure your OH will sort them when he gets in!

Oh no, definitely not the best day for it 
Maybe you should give up and have a glass of wine in the garden instead!!

Sometimes I'm too stubborn for my own good. Anyone who was half sane would of just given up and waited for help lol.
Definitely waiting until dave gets home to tackle the spare bed and mattress that I've shoved in our bedroom doorway!

At least you did it! And even if you had instructions, sometimes I find them 10x more confusing haha
