Earlier this year I realised that despite repeated washing, my pillows and duvet were done. They just didn't 'smell' clean any more. And I reckoned the actual duvet was at least 12 years old!! So I started looking around for new ones. Good quality bedding is expensive! To be fair I didn't spend a lot of time researching prices but I kept it in the back of my mind to look out for any good sales.
Yesterday I was in town to turn my leftover Australian dollars back into sterling ($225 became £115) which I was treating as 'bonus' money. I use the M&S currency shop as I get a good exchange rate if I use my card. As I walked past the household department I noticed their Egyptian cotton bedding had 20% off. I do like nice sheets! So clutching my bonus £115, I worked out I could get a 7.5 tog duvet, 2 firm pillows, 2 pillowcases, a valance sheet and a fitted sheet. Total cost £110. I hope they last as long as their predecessors.
I'm hoping to decorate my bedroom soon. All it needs is painted (the peach walls HAVE to go!!) and a new carpet. My lovely mum has offered to make me a quilt so we need to get choosing some fabrics soon, hopefully in the sales.
I also need new towels but haven't spotted any good ones yet. I'm happy to wait.
