    an integral chaise lounge

    HID nearly left me we I made her get rid of her chaise, although I must say the living room looks a lot tidier without her lounging around on the thing. :eek:

    When you live in this country, just about every other nations Train network is really good.

    That one, I do agree with!

    Swiss is spot on, as is Japanese

    Aus has a pretty rubbish train service although it's better than it used to be.

    Originally, each state decided what rail gauge they wanted. Victoria and New South Wales decided on different gauges so you had to get off the NSW train in the night and walk to the VIC one or vice versa.

    I've never been keen on armchairs, I think the arms take up too much space and you can't curl up and be comfy in them. I'd prefer a 2-seater and a 3-seater to a 3-piece suite.

    I think here the best option might be two 2-seaters..... I really don't know. It'll come to me at some point :)

    I agree. An armchair takes up too much space. We have a 3 + 2 in the main lounge.

    TV room has a 2 and a swivelling round seat that fits 2 but only if they are a friendly 2 (is that what you guys are calling a love seat?)

    Is that posh talk for the foot stool being attached to the sofa?

    We have a Dyson, but it is too heavy for me to carry up and down the stairs (it pulls on the adhesions on my chest) so I have recently been coveting a lightweight Vax hoover my SiL has. No miele here..

    At one time, we had two Henry vacuum cleaners, to avoid carrying them up and down so much. One stored on the top floor, and one on the ground. Unfortunately, one died, so now we have one.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We had a house once with a built in vacuum, you just plugged the hoses into the wall.

    It was absolutely useless !!!

    Two vacuums are a life saver.

    What DH and I had been contemplated was getting a Henry ( better for the rougher brick dust / logs coming in type work) and then a sebo when the last Miele had died. So we had two very different sorts of machines.

    Henry's ( which we had at the flat ) just aren't as good with animal hair and fine work as mieles, but they are troopers, but last Miele has been disappointment.

    Hmm... bit of an odd one that. That might be hard to place in a lot of rooms too.
