Well indirectly of course and by mylot I mean YOU the members, the mylotters, the lotters, the ninjas of mylot. Went by a furniture store today and saw a bed and matress we liked. Package deal for $700 not bad, pillow top matress that's flippable, which is nice. We'll get it tomorrow if we get it at all. Tomorrow is their biggest day for customers so we'll have to go early in the morning.
Hubby still hasn't seen it so he has to have the vote off on it, we have the money for it though. It's black, has a head board can go from a full to California King, Nice if I say myself.
Anyone else bed shopping?

Neildc,
I do have the bed. Also it's "our money" to pay each other back would be an insult!

It's okay neildc, I didn't mean for it to seem as if I was jumping your case. I know some couples view the money that comes in as separate, but my husband and I view the money as "ours" !

I am not bed shopping yet, but eventually will. I think I want one with memory foam, or some really contemporary design. I have a fictitious house I build and furnish (mostly photos in a scrapbook) as a want list to motivate myself to keep playing mylot and trying to earn online.

So you cut out things you see in magazines or draw things you have ideas of? That sounds like a neat idea. Putting it into a scrapbook seems nice too, and you can look back after you accomplished it too see how your first designs changed, and what you had found that matched perfectly with your vision.
Memory Foam seems nice, my inlaws have the pillow top and it's real comfy, so I think my husband will be ecstatic about the pillow top. I laid on the memory foam one though and it was nice too.

That sounds like a great way to stay motivated ladybugmagic! I should think about doing something like that! Then when you purchase things they slowly come out of the book until it's empty! That would be an awesome feeling to have the house the way you want it and just perfect!

Thanks ComeCowgirl and PurpleTeddyBear. Eventually my dreams will come true. I will defy all the naysayers and hit it big on the internet and get all the stuff I want.
I do cut out pics from magazines, catalogues, and the internet, because I want my house to be a freshbuild or a rebuild on a plot of land, and I want it to be just perfect, so I have the book to show the architect and contractors what they are in for.
It will be modest, but I want it just right.

Oh he did! He's in there enjoying it now as he plays a video game and uses the laptop! It is definitely nice though! We've just got to put back the stuff we had in our night stand and the room would be back to semi-normalness. I'll have to take a picture sometime and upload it. I don't know when that will be though.

I know we went and looked at that bed at the small furniture store near where we live,and it was just lucky that you and momma stumbled onto it or we would have never seen that bed,and we got a head board,a frame,the pillow top mattress,and a boxspring for a little over seven hundred dollars,and I really like it and I am glad we got it,the head board is bigger than the one we had,so its a lot more room for storing stuff,and the mattress is really soft,and makes for good sleeping even though sometimes I miss our old bed and headboard,because I was used to them but I know we are better off now,I love you with all of my heart and soul.

My favorite part of the headboard is the drawers. They are a nice touch. I know it's different for you but it does have nice space for all the things we want to put it on it.

Oh yes it is definitely very nice. We have it today, we're setting everything back on the headboard that we had on it before... except now we have more space and drawers, pretty nifty!

Good Luck to you then and welcome to mylot! one tip is to always respond abck and comment back to people. You only earn by what you type, so if you start a discussion and leave it your just getting money for the started discussion and that's it. Sounds pitiful eh? well just mylot A LOT you'll get the hang of it.

Good to have motivation to MyLot. I know, it is just a little bit, here and there, but it is money and it spends just as well as money from anywhere else. Your bed sounds like a really excellent choice, and I am sure you will enjoy having that new piece of furniture. I hope that you are very comfortable with this choice. It is important to have a good bed, so that you feel your best during the day.

Yes it may be a little but like you said it adds up to something. After all something must be bringing you back after so many posts! The bed is nice, the mattress is very comfortable. We'll go tomorrow to see if my husband likes it as well. I went my mother in law today. I'm learning how to drive and so she said she'd let me drive. We pulled into a mattress and furniture store and I said why don't we just check this place out! We didn't know it was there! It used to be a furniture place and they turned it back into one.
I think that this bed will give us both a very comfortable and relaxing sleep. After such a long day at work, my husband really needs it!

That's awesome that MyLot money is going to be helping you get a new bed. I wish I could get a new bed, but right now hubby and I are saving for our move! Pretty much any extra money is going towards that right now! I'm excited for you though! In the past MyLot earnings paid one years membership of Club pOgO! I LOVE playing games at that site! I think it might do the same for me this year seeing as I have the money in my PayPal, I just haven't cashed it out yet. Good Luck with the new bed!

Congratulations you lucky chit! LoL! I wish I could afford a new bed, but that will get on my "To Do List" once we get all moved in to our new place in the big city! Don't forget to put up a photo so we can see!

We got it today. Just made the bed up actually. It's nice, we've just got to put everything that we had to take out, back in our room. Maybe one day we'll take a picture of it and upload it to show everyone here.

I was thinking of getting a new bed as i am fed up of the ones we have got as they are two single electric beds that sit up lift your legs etc you get the picture.I wanted a normal king size bed either with or without drawers.As long as i can store things in it or under it i do not mind,as at the moment there is no room under our bed as that is where the motor is.Instead of my boys having a bunk bed i was going to give them our beds,but take the wires off the motor so they could not muck about with them.Still undicided what to do so i think i will leave it a bit longer.

I would shop around for both a kings size bed for you and your husband, and a prospective bunk bed for your two boys. They have bunk beds now that are both twin and full, the full size is at the bottom, the twin at the top. Good Luck Shopping Around!

Don't expect to get too much. I know that mylot won't pay enough to get a bed, not all in one month. Good Luck to you though! Hubby and I will go look at the bed tomorrow, he hasn't seen it yet as he wasn't with us when we went to look.

Oh well we haven't gotten it yet. We have to go in the morning, if my husband likes it then we'll get it. As for making a dent, I'd have to post a lot, but that's where member's like you come in! You respond to me and I make money because I comment back. I only make money off of what I type but if I have somthing to say... it works right?
Hey good luck with bed shopping yourself! Maybe you'll find a good deal like we did.

Well, good luck on your bed shopping! Maybe, by the time you read this response, you've already gotten it. It does sound like a good deal for $700. And with a headboard too? It'll be hard to find a deal like that at where I'm at.
You should let it to go through the jumping-on-the-bed test!
No bed shopping for me. I still have the one I got 5 years ago.
@SomeCowgirl (32191)

Yep, we have it now. It's nice, we just put the covers on it. It's a pillowtop reversible which means we can turn it every which way and FLIP IT! pretty nice!

I don't have that kind of money. The matress that resides on our bed now, is an old one from a hotel that was getting rid of some. Box springs included. Since the boxed springs had actual springs in them we had to leave that behind. But, the matress itself is prety good. Unless its free its impossible to afford.

For us this was a deal and we really wanted / needed something new. I know it can be expensive, this wasn't cheap but it was a great deal, and the delivery was free!

Ok this was 2 weeks ago so did you get the bed as it certainly sounds a nice bed
Did Hubby like it or have you stuck with the old bed lol
No I am not Bed shopping I can't afford it lol and mine is now 10 years old but very solid nd you would not think it is that age to look at it
Do need to try and get a new Mattress though

Yep we got it that Saturday. It's a really nice bed, very comfortable. I can sleep easily on it, in fact I've gone in there the past few mornings because I was cold and I'd lay snuggled in the covers and almost fall asleep.
I think the bed before was about ten years old, but it'd broke and been fixed so we really did need a new one.

Oh hehe that part was mostly a joke. I know it'd be little contribution by all, and it'd really be my work that'd make the effort. It'd take forever if we waited for mylot though, we have the money and it's a nice bed, like I said just waiting for hubby to see it and see what he thinks.

Hi, SomeCowgirl. That is wonderful to hear about! It is great to know that myLot and its members are able to give you the extra push that you need. I have not went bed shopping yet. But within a couple of weeks, I should have some furniture in my apartment very soon. I can't wait. I hope that you will enjoy your new bed.

We'll have to get it first, hubby still hasn't seen it yet as he was working when we stopped by, but he'll see it tomorrow and maybe will like it. Good Luck with your furniture shopping, hope you can find some good deals.
The store we went to is basically kind of a small timey one.
