hehe I felt touched how much you missed your old foam, and the pain is that you won't find a matrass as good as your old one. I guess you have to get use to your new foam and trust me you will find it even better.
if it was my mom she wouldn't even dream of giving up her old stuffs, even when we moved to our new house last year she literally brought every old stuff along even after telling her not to. she has this strange connection with them so funny hehe.
am happy you didn't give up that beautiful electric kettle, those 40 pounds thumbnails is exactly what i need right now. maybe when your neighbor return it you can give to me for some few months hehe. i really enjoyed your post thanks.
