Sofa so Good

Hi Bloggers
This post concerns the middle of last week. maria had been chatting about a replacement for the Chesterfield in the living room. I was reticent to buy a new one fro DFS etc as it could possibly only be used for a couple of months and end up being given away or down the tip. I felt different about the money spent on carpeting and decoration as that would be part of the house and would help sell it in best Anne Maurice style. with that in mind i would prefer to get a Good second hand one so that I wouldn't feel so anxious about the financial "hit". Maria agreed, so it was off for a tour of the second hand shops in the area.

We ended up in Portsmouth, in Fawcett road to be precise and as luck would have it found what Maria was looking for in the last shop of the day. A suite comprising two Chestnut/Chocolaty 3 and 2 seater brand new leather settees. They were 18" from floor to the top of the cushion, which makes for easy getting up from (our main criteria). We returned the next morning with some cash, and a deal was struck (Half what you would expect of DFS etc). Delivery was to be that very day (What a Service!), so It was hightail it home where our daughter Charmaine stood poised with her space van to remove the old suite, ably assisted by my nephews.

The new on arrived just before 1800 and looks fantastic! I tested the two seater for z's without delay and let me tell you its full of them - wow!
