TOO BIG!!!

Didn't sleep until 6am this morning because i had slept earlier in the evening yesterday... Was going for the FADAN fashion show but had to turn around and head back home when i couldn't find petrol to buy. As i had nothing to do and i was alone, i laid down and promptly fell asleep. Probably had to do with the fact that i hadn't been sleeping properly in the last 2days... However, it was already dark when i woke up and i couldn't sleep anymore even though i had a lot of stuff to do today. Managed to get some things done though but i'd have been more satisfied if i had got everything done which unfortunately, i couldn't. Car and generator ended up not getting fixed. So, here i am again with no light. I'm really hot and charging my laptop with the UPS which i really hate to use, generators are on all around, it's noisy and i can't even close my bloody windows cos then, i'll probably suffocate. Not good...
Went to the bank so i could pay for my internet connection, my DSTV, fix my car, the generator, buy some pearls and pay the carpenter who's going to install my wardrobe as i'm tired of living out of a suitcase as i've been since i moved into the new house but all that was not to be... I'd just left the bank and on my way to buy pearls from the art market in Jakande when i saw it. It was beautiful... It was perfect...
I'd already driven by where i could park and turning around meant going past the market where i was going to but the pearls so, i decided to run in and quickly buy the pearls before going back for it. True to female form, i found these beautiful pair of black shorts with a very sexy belt. Stopped by and bought that too before heading back to the place where i saw it.
It was love at first site... It was beautiful... It was perfect but i wasn't sure of the size. It was the bed i've always wanted to own but it was incomplete and the man who was selling it said he'd sent his boys to bring in the rest of it. I found it in a used furniture showroom but i loved it and i wanted it. My car and generator can be fixed later... I wanted this bed NOW and i had to have it. Was a bit expensive for a used bedframe but i didn't mind at all. While waiting for the boys who were bringing the rest of it, i found a chair. The perfect chair for my bedroom and my day was completely made. It was cheap, cheap, cheap and totally made up for what i was paying for the bed.
Got home to find that the carpenter had been waiting for me but it wasn't that big a deal to him as we'd had a working relationship (through all my interior decor jobs) for many years.
Now, here's the real story... He and Ajiri helped me set the bed but it was too big for the space i'd intended for it so, the next logical step was to move it. We did and it fit perfectly. It looked like the sort of bed a queen would sleep in which is alright for the local princess that i am and i didn't mind one bit. He then mentioned something about having to buy 2 mattresses to fit in it. I told him that was impossible because it was a queen size bed but he looked at me doubtfully so, i brought out my measuring tape so he could measure it and see for himself. He did...
The fucking bed is KING SIZE!!!
