A long pause. Then Jo said: “Yes, it will have purple curtains.” I rolled my eyes in disbelief. What will the neighbours in Hampstead think?
“And there’ll be bunk beds too?”

“Yes, definitely bunk beds.”
That clinched it. Our daughter screamed and did her little happy dance. Izzy has been desperate to sleep in a top bunk.
