I am a bit off the wine lately. Probably won't last.

I also think "Why didn't the flipping estate agent suggest they move the wheelie bins, or take down a couple of the stuffed Stag's heads.
IKEA customer service maybe not looking so good.
When we sold our last house, the estate agent moved DH card (for passing driving test) when doing the photos in case viewers thought it was a Christmas card and had been on the market ages. We sold in 6 weeks to our first viewer so perhaps he was on the ball!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -

What a stressful time re: ikea. It seems customer service has to come at a premium these days. So glad all seems to be getting sorted though. Will your friend courier it to you in time?June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -

In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

Mine are always licking the sofa - they sometimes start by licking their foot then move onto whatever the foot is resting on! They are just being helpful I'm sure! :rotfl::rotfl:"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living."
