I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas

He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic

Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

Brother and sister in law have invited both families and thus I have been relegated to this classic #DuvetKnowItsChristmas arrangement in their downstairs office/music practise room. Had to lobby to get a lamp 😂

Fascinating article and makes me even more determined to support pubkications that put in the hard graft to ensure this isnt happening (although I appreciate it must be tricky)

Shop with small independents (like me) instead of the big high street names.
