    You could get one for a tenner free ads, ( any local one) sort out cheapest man and van delivery then look for right one at better leisure. I know its not what you want but it seems less stress ful way to make decision?

    I've tried looking for 2nd hand, cheap, free ones .... the one I'm on cost me £60 from a charity shop ....

    Bottom line is - I want a new one, I deserve a new one - and this is my chance to get a new one.... :)

    If it weren't such a new/white house it wouldn't stick out so much like a sore thumb what I had .... but it'd just be nice have something new/clean :)

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Pffft... It says £349, then when you go back in they want £700. Make your mind up JL. This sofa buying business is exhausting. Off to make myself a cuppa.

    That's what I thought if they could work out how much they are selling it for.

    Width 175cm, so could do with being a smidgeon more. One I am currently sprawled on is 200cm long, with a seated area of 145cm.

    Depth is OK at 96cm, as that's probably close to a 70cm cushion.

    There doesn't appear to be a colour choice.... red/burgundy was always my parents' colour choice - and my furnishings have a "beach, no red" theme I'd like to keep to.... so light blue, cream, sandy ....light grey is acceptable.

    I think the £700 is "more popular colours".... I can see a £700 one in the small listings to the right with exactly the same name, but pale grey.

    It's also hammering my PC ..... I'll need to run CCleaner again in a minute..... ripping through bandwidth here... PC's dying.
