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

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.
Thing is, they do 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 😆
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?
