so, my bed broke, but then i've been sleeping on it for twenty-six years. most of the furniture in my room were bought when i was a child and are impossibly small, or old, so we're redecorating my room! we've got the carpenter to come in to discuss a new wardrobe, and i want a full or double bed but i can't seem to get it here - there's single, and the next size up seems to be queen, and queen is rather large i think for one person. at least i don't mind how big my bed is, but given the size of my room (a rectangle, 18x9ft) and the fact that bookshelves and wardrobe take up a great deal of room, perhaps i'll just make do with a single bed (i'm not the tossing sort) and put in a sofa and a new writing desk and dresser!
