    posted five ebay parcels
    lost the battle with IKEA

    two trips to buy stone and plants
    painted the garden gate
    had DS'S friend round
    landscaped part of the garden
    got one DD off to a sleepover and the other for a Pony Club quiz
    Emailed a Birmingham friend to see if she fancies a visit to IKEA on our behalf

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

    I am no longer stressed, its all going to come together because puppylove is licking the sofa clean for me.

    Yay.

    Oh yes I so often think "why didnt they make the bed?"

    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!

    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?

    Lovely of friend in B/ham to step in! And exhausting reading thread, not long to go before agent with camera turns up.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

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

    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:
