    Ever tried to stuff a king sized mattress into a 4x4? The darned thing had a life of its own when Ian and I tried it. :rolleyes: Every time we attempted to fold the thing it would spring back on us. :eek: I ended up with a nose bleed as it caught me in the face and poor Ian brought the back door of the car down on his head whilst holding the mattress in place. I just hope our daughter appreciates all the blood, sweat and tears (literally) that she's causing us with her moving back home!!! :D :D

    It sounds a bit like the Three Stooges, Eileen. Your daughter will have to cook for months just to say thanks for hauling the mattress.

    Oh, that would have been the perfect Benny Hill skit.
    Be sure to make exaggeratedly large bandages for the two of you to wear over the wounds when she moves in to show just how much you love her.

    Glad you made it. It's awful how other people's problems are so much funnier than our own, but they sure are. :) :) :)
