The most important thing I've learnt during my ongoing training at work this week is that we have a pharmacy squirrel called Squizz. Unless of course they're winding me up. I haven't met him yet, but I have been introduced to the large bag of nuts under the office desk. Apparently Squizz can nip a bit if you get too close, but the good news is we've got plenty of tetanus shots in stock at the moment.

Anyhoo, vermin aside, I'd like to introduce you to my latest master plan to make room for a baby...

I'm going to shove it under the bed.

This may look like an advert for a 300kg woman who'll encourage you into bed, but it's actually a photo of new Lidl 'Bed Risers', taken straight from their latest catalogue. Although I'm sure they appeared in the previous edition as heavy duty plant pots.

Anyway, the point is I've bought a set, and am currently enjoying an extra six inches of storage space under my bed. Lisa can't do any heavy lifting at the moment due to being pregnant (although to be honest, she didn't do a lot before), so I got a pensioner to come round yesterday evening and help me fit them. With hindsight, I probably should have lifted the bed while she put the pots underneath, instead of the other way around, but you never think of these things at the time. Anyhoo, thanks Mum. I hope your back's ok this morning.
