Just found out my parents MIGHT ARRIVE TONIGHT, instead of tomorrow... AAAAAGH. The frantic clean up begins. Must find the bed PDQ. It's there! Honestly. Under all the stabilizers, T-shirts, boxes of threads and more.... Where to stash it all? There is no closet in this room, hence the reason it is a bedroom/computer room/sewing room. All the walls are open to use. Weeehooooo.

Guess I am lucky have all my gear in my basement, doesn't happen often that the gang arrives here as we usually head up to where everyone is...have had to clear the decks the odd time but it is a pain after to try and remember where you stashed everything...hang in there and enjoy your folks ...

Good luck, and enjoy your parent's visit. I know exactly how you feel. My son and he's wife has already had to sleep in a tent, on the backyard's lawn on a visit to us. Luckily we live in sunny South Africa and it was nice and warm.

You need to buy those bed risers... it will give you almost a foot of "hidden" space under the bed... lol

Good luck, think many of us have been there too. I share my sewing area with my other half who repairs cellos. Currently I have just had to move a cello so I can use my machine. Enjoy your parents visit

please let us know the outcome HE HE,it will take you weeks to sort it out again,dont foget to look in the oven. HE HE flower for you

Good luck to you...sounds like you just may need it.

LOL, U sound exactly like me, Right now I have the same problem with company coming tomorrow I just stack neatly & try to put under tables, sewing machine etc. till I make the bed available to them with a little rm to get to it. *4U

Just don't try and hide it in the oven.....I cooked an entire meals worth of dirty dishes one time when my dishwasher was on the fritz. Funny now, but not so much then!

Oh, I like it, I like it!!

Well, t-shirts & stabilizer are pretty soft to sleep on, could you tell them it's a new "euro-comfort" mattress topper? Hee hee hee, best of luck!!! Marji

I always found that empty suitcases work great to "HIDE" stuff:)

maybe u need to get a large dresser for the rm...
