    Nah, they'll just fold you up!

    I'm 6'1" and a king size does for me, unlike @keef247 the skyscraper.

    Lol aye, we sleep in a king size but only because Laura's a spreader, sometimes she moves over so far I just clamber over and sleep on her side until she moves back :hehe:

    Ikea spec, nah I reckon they'll use one of those hgv lorries that carry parts of bridges/the aussie mega hauler land trains that transport those massive tonka toy dumper trucks that make humans look like ants to the mines!

    I was like 6ft when I was about 8-10 and 6ft2 when I was 12 btw... My bones literally grew quicker than my ligaments/tendons etc.

    :hehe: 2 different mates have said I'm like the size/scale of Sun Mingming in rush hour 2 :naughty:

    You wanna see me on the bmx though. That is a sight to behold! Irony is though thanks to a longer top tube/shorter rear triangle and high swoop wtp bars, a bmx is actually better for my back than when I ride a mtb, and I actually catch my feet on the front wheel when turning on a mtb but not a bmx, go figure... Plus I like looking dodgy/like a child riding one haha!

    You're welcome to take some of my height away though, then I could build a mental rx7 and be able to fit in it, sigh.

    6'7" here.
    Solved it by getting an oversized frame & adding a bolster at the end of the matress under the pillow end to get an extra 6" of length on the bed.

    Yeah but what did you do about being too tall for the bed :naughty:

    I put lol a wooden laundry box type thing that happens to be the perfect width/height to line up with the end of my open ended wooden frame then 2 6ft maternity pillows :hehe: inside 1 case and then run a 2nd quilt wrapped over the end and sandwiched under my matress so it can't move/come apart etc. then the normal quilt over the top and it just looks like I've got a 7ft6 bed :hehe: and no one can tell looking at it!

    Proper MacGyver spec but it works :hehe:

    Being way more disciplined with eBay than I've ever been before.

    More space, better organisation, sourcing and listing its starting to feel more like a business and a less chaotic side hustle.

    Also, finally following the advice of some of these eBay gurus and listing daily has seen my listing impressions and page views rocket up. That's not translated into increased sales quite yet but I've got a few weeks listings (5 per day) scheduled now so Its only going to do some good. Slowly working my way from the Basic store subscription to a featured store

    Hoping in 3-4 months when my personal debt is gone my eBay sales & Secondary income will have started to flourish

    That sounds like a website you wouldn't want to click on by mistake if straight/male...

    What currently makes your life awesome?
    Well I don't know about my life, but I've had something awesome happen today and this is the best thread to share it I guess.

    I was contacted by a kids tv distributer who noticed my youtube channel where, just for fun, I AI upscale and remaster (kinda) classic cartoons, and they want me to work with them upscaling their videos, in return for a stake in their channel.
    How awesome is that? :rock:

    Thanks. Subbed.
    LOL - I've had the Fleischer Superman on DVD since 2001!

    They've been extremely busy, and seem to have their own subreddit
