Sofabed Blues!
'She' has only taken 3 weeks to choose a sofabed! I'm exhausted. Must have looked at 50 shops online and God knows how many designs. Each day the same thing, over and over again. I would get my hopes up that we had finally found 'the one' but no something would invariably put her off, be it the fabric, the size, the colour - whatever!'She' got to the stage where I couldn't watch anything on the TV as invariably a sofa would appear which would set her off again. You ever tried to follow the plot of a movie when someone is droning on about a sofa in a particular scene?
At least I will get my chance to physically attack the 'old' sofa once a new one has been ordered (today I think) as it is only fit for incineration in the makeshift kiln I built out the back. Gonna beat the hell out of it first though.
Women and shopping - sheesh!

Also, one should bear in mind that some people expect their furniture to last and do not feel the need to change every aspect of their 'comfort zone' at the drop of a hat. Not everyone is a slave to fashion.
I always find that taking time to choose, correctly, saves a lot of problems in the long run.
There's no point ordering a piece of furniture and then finding you can't get it in the house is there ?
thank you

Re: Sofabed Blues!
a sofa BED has to be chosen with care , did you open it out in the shop and lie down on it ?Did you ask if replacement Mattresses can be bought ? ,I find with our with the bedding left in place it gives the seat cushions a higher seating , So does your feet touch the ground ,or will you slip off with the cushions being at an angle ...
All these have to be taken into account , Colours a more personal thing , I just love red , but i guess MKJ is already seeing RED

Best of luck to you too Meg ...
The order wotsit says delivery in 2 weeks and 3 days
.... this, of course, gives ample time to have my mind changed again !!! and get the-leather-one-which-is-slightly-too-long-unless-I-move-another-piece-of-furniture so I'm keeping everything crossed for a happy outcome

Sadly, I have no transport of my own and have been unable to test this (no shop near me) but I have tried something similar and this is a deluxe one.
It will, primarily, be used as a sofa and replaces my ancient drop-arm Chesterfield ... and I do mean ancient
... which has been repaired/revamped/re-covered many times over the years and is definitely 'had it' now.The back has come adrift from the base, the drop-arm is also hanging on for dear life and we have bricks under one end because there's a bit of a leg problem
