FURNITURE'S HERE

At last a proper bed to sleep in!  Having spent the last few weeks dossing on a military grade camp bed, the arrival of our furniture is like Christmas come early.  

The removers made light work of unloading all our bits and bobs, cluttering up the lounge with what looked like the world’s largest Amazon order.  Our efforts being less efficient it then took hours to make sense of the cardboard chaos piled high all over the place.

 

Furniture has finally arrived

Never place cardboard boxes on top of dodgy looking electric hobs unless you want your perfect palace to look like chargrilled chicken.  What’s that smell?  It’s the pong of flame-grilled packaging slowly smouldering on a hot ring of fire.  This is what happens when you discover how easy it is to accidentally knock the control knobs into the ‘on’ position on an electric hob.  Whoopsie!

 

Electric hobs - a health & safety hazard


Luckily it didn't burn through to the contents


I like what you’ve done with the place.  Furniture has added a certain pazzazz to our freshly stripped,  post-apocalyptic looking rooms making them about as homely as a single cell at Alcatraz prison but at least there’s the prospect of a snuggly night’s sleep on a proper mattress.


Looking forward to a good night's sleep


Office/dining area


We can now sit and watch TV


Just in time to cook the Christmas dinner

Don't know why..but l seem to be enjoying
your moving process! :).
I suppose it's because l've lived in my home
for 41yrs..and, the experience of moving is
long gone..
I've collected cardboard boxes, stored in one of
the spare rooms, just in case, and l told my daughter
there also for her to use upon my demise..! :(
The larger one being for me...! :).

I expect you'll be getting the kitchen up together
first, as it is the most important room in a home!
Up and running for Christmas..
A 'GAS' range cooker would look nice, get rid of
that electric one..
AND..I've never seen a cooker with a round door
to it..or is that the washing machine..as l don't
have a washing machine, (horrid things)...l would'nt
know! :(.

HeHe! Sorry! But, l do go off on one..good luck still,
with everything..! :o).
