The wall is there, might see if I can do that, otherwise I will have to make a plan somehow. The windowsill might just get in the way tho

Unless you want to “boer maak `n plan” with it and you are happy with it that way, the best way would be to actually mount the headboard on the bed base, depending on what your base looks like, it will mean drilling at the exact spacing between the two slots on the headboard to mount it.

I will have to see if my base will allow it I have one similar to this:

Yeah, check to see if there is solid wood on the base where you want to place the holes. If there is wood, then drilling 2 holes per side would be advisable, spaced the max distance from each other per side. Then bolts, washers and nuts to keep the headboard in place. Also make sure that you measure the size of the bolts to make sure the board fits on them etc.

Thanks I will take a look tonight and make up my mind 
I should be able to do that (i will yield the drill to someone else tho - I have a weird fear)

If you do decide to go the drill route, exact measurements in all 3 axis would be crucial. If the spacing between the 2 board “legs” are too wide/not wide enough… well that is self explanatory. If the spacing between the 2 holes per side are not the same as the other side then the board will be skew. If your bolt is too small then the board cannot slip onto it, etc etc. I would suggest roping in someone who knows what they are doing with tools and measurements.

We have that same headboard. It doesn’t get attached to the bed. Once the base and mattress is in front of it it doesn’t move.

ohk so the everyone is going bonkers and celebrating about the high matric pass rate but should we ? the bar to pass has been lowered drastically these past few years to get the pass rate up so a 50 - 60% pass in a subject here is probably equivalent to a 30% in another country.

So much this! It’s a farce. And it’s creating an entire generation of young South Africans with very poor educational fundamentals who naively now believe that they are ready and equipped to take on the world because they “have a matric!”
And then they come crashing back to reality when they fail out of first year tertiary institutions (after spending most of the year protesting about some or other kak anyway!), can’t get decent jobs and have little hope of future employment.
And then they get bitter and twisted and start pulling out every one of the “oh woe is me, I’m so deprived, it’s not fair, my life is ruined, it’s everyone and everything else’s fault” excuses. And all because their “fantastic matric results” created this false expectation of reality.

Jup hy is net te laag daarvoor ongelukkig
Dude I have no words for this.
I am so dissapointed - I actually laughed at the news last night when they said the amount of students who passed is a little less than last year.

Your family are certainly a lot closer to potential targets than we are here, but I reckon the whole planet is on tenterhooks right now because of this tosser.
Until Trump and his MAGA cronies (and the same goes for every world leader and their myopic followers I guess) are forced to put their own children onto the frontlines of the wars they seem so eager to wage, nothing will change.
He’ll continue to condemn the actions of the Iranians. They’ll continue their “Death to 'Merica!” rhetoric. Before long many more sons and daughters of average citizens on both sides will die.
And then the politicians will send out more stupid tweets and will offer up more pointless “thoughts and prayers”, and more 'death to the infidels", before getting back onto to their private planes, flying off to their resorts in Florida and Hawaii, and ordering up another bucket of KFC and a load of Happy Meals.
I was forced to spend my last teenage year and the first year of my twenties on the Namibian/Angolan border, and in the dusty streets of riot torn Soweto. I was one of the few lucky national servicemen - I never saw a single moment of actual combat bar one small petrol bomb thrown ineffectively against the side of our patrol vehicle. And yet every single day of those 21 months of active duty after basic training I crapped myself. Every single day was utterly terrifying. Slinging that stupid shooty-shooty death stick over my shoulder every day before going out on another patrol never made me feel safe. Just the opposite really.
Many were not as fortunate as me. Let’s just say that bullets and bombs and the human body do not mix well. Not at all. Until we can make declarations of war conditional on the declarer and his/her children being put in to the first row of soldiers it won’t change.
To put thousands of your citizens through the horror of war, even the ones that choose to do so voluntarily, simply to stroke your ego and to distract from your utter failings as a leader is the despicable, selfish act of a certifiable megalomaniac. The fucker, and all of the so-called leaders like him, need to be rounded up and dropped off on an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean. Let them fight among themselves over who gets to use the fresh guano to keep themselves warm.

Apologies for the rant y’all. I’m sitting in the dark waiting for Eskom to give me back the service I diligently pay for, and I’m bored.
I do really hope your family stays safe Murfle.

Thanks dude.
It was an interesting read. Never been through anything like that, but I expect what we’re all about to go through on this planet will be peanuts to that past century… Hopefully none of us have to see the front line.
It feels like the chess pieces are being moved around quite quickly right now… I’m happy to say I just read Canada pulled their forces out of Iraq ‘temporarily’.
@Wyvern - I’ll still be with the clinic portion of the place I’ve been at, and I think I have a place to stay, so I will be around for a while still 
Thanks for asking.
