IT'S not every day that your boss lets you have a lie-in. But then its not everyone who works in a bed showroom.

Staff at Darlington's Sharps Bedrooms, in Skinnergate, took advantage of their product by staging a charity sleep-in.

Manager Valerie Dack and sales assistant Diane Sheville donned pyjamas and nighties to take turns to have a nap.

They were sponsored and took donations from the public with all money going towards the Butterwick Children's Hospice.

A guess-the-name of the Teddy bear competition also took place.
