I wanted to give the Nice Boys his money, but theirs was $50 more..... I hate hardly normal... With a passion ... Just DONT MENTION THE BEDROOM SUITE THAT ARRIVED CRACKED and damaged ...the bed, the bedside cabinets...even the dresser!!!!AND THEY WOULDNT REPLACE IT...said it was an ex stock item and we could have another one I didnt like much but would have put up with for an extra $500, We brought a **** off expensive king sized mattress at the same time...to go on the bedframe.. That they wouldnt take back... The mattress had arrived a week before the bed set... We hadnt used it... But they said there was no fault with the mattress so we had to keep that....

So GREAT.... We had a mattress that didnt fit any bed we owned.....that we wouldnt have brought without a bedframe and no recourse....

Paying so much extra at Nice Boys wasnt going to happen tho

I feel sad that I'm not doing it (first year I haven't done something) but truth be told, the weather looks dodgy tomorrow and I really would be in a lot of pain if I did it so youngest and I will do the drop off/pick up........

My brother does this each year with his 2 girls. His wife died at 36 so the Mother's Day Classic has been a good way to keep busy but still remember.
The weather's dodgy alright, she must be determined to be out there today
