[#8331703]

I was given the job of putting up some pictures on the wall above our guest bed today.
Needing to stand on the bed I had to remove the pillows and some cushions.
I may be just a Neanderthal bloke but NINE BLOODY CUSHIONS.....AND A FLUFFY THROW!!!
Just why really???
It's a good job we haven't got anyone coming to stay because there's no room in the bed for them.

I'm a single, boobies-loving man, and I have cushions that I put on the bed that I got especially made in the same JL pattern as the bedroom curtains are.

That's mad. Or fabulous taste.

It's the fact that I get grief if I don't out them on (in the prescribed fashion) to enable me to then take them off again several hours later during which time no one else will have seen them. Uterley pointless process.

We have 2 cushions on our bed, I have no idea why we have them even though we argue about why we have them every night when I throw them on the floor........

It's like those stupid blankets that go over 2' of the bottom of the bed.

WHAT'S THE ****ING POINT

I'm off to Mumsnet for a good old swearathon, and to let them all know how nuts they all are for collecting soft furnishings.

I refused to replace cushions on a bed only to have to take them off before I get into it. 2 or 3 are OK, but I'm damned if I'll position 9 or 10 just so, and then position cuddly toys too. Mrs Z must prefer that I make the bed as most of the shift has disappeared.

When I was a bachelor I had plenty of nice cushions, throws etc and the bed was always immaculate and cleaned regularly. Now I DGAF and if I have to chuck it on the floor to get in it stays there ๐Ÿ˜€

There's a lot of people protesting too much here

Three cushions on our bed. I leave them on as there is no headrest and it's extra comfort.

We have no cushions on our bed, and none on the guest bed, as we don't have a guest bed.

Simply take all the cushions, go and put them on the driver's seat of your wife's car. Wait for the "why did you do that" and simply reply - I think it makes the seat look nice.

Repeat as many times as needed.

Just get cats...Warmer + slightly more useful than cushions...

Sandwich - that is the sort of cowardice that makes you a cushion slave, twice daily.

For the rest of your life.

If a liking for cushions is the worst of it then there really is no postage stamp small enough upon which to write ๐Ÿ˜‰

Extra points for making the cushions and curtains match ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

* I would link the picture here but the forum isn't rendering correctly, again ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Not me, I chose wisely. A woman who has little desire for a bed full of 'cushion treatment'. There's a lot to be said for a quiet domestic life when it comes to the little stuff.

Another vote for replacing extra bed items with cats. Just think of them as self moving cushions

Thing is, they [i]do[/i] make a place look nice and cosy but they're a PITA in reality. I blame DFS adverts. Life's too short to be pissing about with soft furnishings ๐Ÿ˜†

It reminds me of the faiground operator who took a young woman back to his caravan where the bed was surrounded by hundreds of soft fluffy teddy bears. This unexpected display of his feminine side released her inhibitions, resulting in an energetic shag. When it was over, he said "you can have any prize off the middle shelf"

OK....Now for vases.
Just had a quick count up.
Decorative or plain glass, either is fair game.
We have 31 out in the house and another 20 in the cupboard.
I'm sure there must be rules for this sort of thing?

There are "don't go complaining about your wife to a bunch of internet strangers"

This is like some terrible Jim Davidson / Bernard Manning reprise.

"Take my wife..."

Don't get me wrong, she's great and I love her to bits but I'm beginning to wonder if this is how secret hoarders start? Things just keep 'appearing' on shelves. Kind of like the Bermuda Triangle in reverse.

Good to hear it, choppersquad. Then tell the world about that, not the negative stuff. Lots of failed and dead marriages in STW are full of this deprecation. This good stuff? That's the novelty.

Dunno. How many old bike bits have you got stashed away? Just in case.
