Mr B was expecting me when I rang his flat number this morning, as was the building manager, who then kindly accompanied me up to Mr B's flat where we discovered he'd placed one of the two parts of the divan on top of a suitcase - something to surely rival the Princess of pea fame...

We got to work clearing out the old broken bed frame that had been pushed to one side, along with a very tired(!) looking single mattress, and then unpacked the divan base and got the wheels and legs fitted, and the two halves joined together.

With a space now cleared (and the floor a lot cleaner), it was just a case of moving the divan into the space and putting the mattress on top - "a proper bed" declared a clearly pleased Mr B, who has apparently been sleeping on the single mattress for over a year. One final request to change the lightbulb above his bed to give him some light, and the mission was complete.
