lisaroo2 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 We've been in our new (new to us) house for 3 whole months now. We have a lovely conservatory on the back providing great views of the garden and of course, the girls! Trouble is that its not been very comfy to sit in there, until now! On Saturday we were in our local town and saw a second hand place that was closing down. We had a look and saw two very nice 2-seater sofas. To cut a long story after lots of haggling we finally managed to buy both and have them delivered for £140! They are lovely without a mark on them and do we feel like the King and Queen sitting on them or what? I can now admire girls and garden whilst enjoying the sun, in comfort. Well, I am supposed to be doing nothing, except eating and putting weight on! I know its a bit lame, but we're really pleased and I just wanted to share it with you.

lisaroo2 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks Cathy! I hadn't used to like haggling but now I will quite happily. I think its something to do with hitting 35 this year and really not caring anymore! I also love hunting for bargains in charity shops. That does make me feel good as I know I've giving money to help others and its amazing what you can find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
