Is there a DFS near you? They might have a sale on. Oh look, they do. Quelle surprise!
I needed a laugh this afternoon. Thanks for obliging.
If you are a happy ignoramus then yes . We must be us.
Yes very happy.
Trip to A&E about eyelid quite enough for me, thanks.
If this is going to be PN's once-in-a-lifetime new sofa, I hope she chooses what she wants and does not compromise too much just to get it a couple of weeks sooner.
What GDB said.
You have something to sit on. A bit of a wait for delivery of the right sofa is better than a lifetime of having a sofa you don't really like.
Please don't apply a policy of "can't decide, can't decide, can't decide, fed up of not deciding, grab the first thing that comes to mind after getting fed up, end up not really enjoying it".Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Not great photography, but here are photos of my old sofas. A 2-seater (without the cushions) and the 3-seater (with the cushions tossed on).

Its sort of an all sorts shop, you get young mums, some people do wedding lists there. DH pops in sometimes. Its got fashion concessions aimed at younger professional women.0 -
How about this one? You'd never be able to eat your dinner on your lap again mind...

A spare set of covers would be £55.
Would look beachy, especially if you had nice beachy coloured wallsPlease 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?

The minute you pick any other colour it adds £200.
That one's a flat pack sofa .... as are a lot of Ikea's it seems.
Cover: Dryclean.
Seat depth: 49 cm - which isn't deep at all.
I think I saw this in Ikea and it "looked a bit small (not deep)"
When I last bought Ikea sofas, they turned up ready made.
Assembly costs "£25 plus 20% of the full retail purchase " so I'd definitely be building it myself, even if it took 3 weeks 0 -

I don't like white for a sofa.... one thing is that if I used throws/quilts/quilt covers the dye would rub off on it within 10 minutes.
Also, my machine doesn't have a large capacity and isn't large enough to take sofa covers. It'd quickly annoy me as white would show every mark.0 -
Oh god.... I shouldn't have done what I just did. I got my washing machine model to google it's capacity ... and discovered this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2Yh2595TP4N9B8qBhYSqvf/indesit-companies-downplay-the-extent-of-the-exploding-washing-machines
Mine's on the list!
Anyway, capacity is 5Kg by weight, but it's the physical size that's an issue with sofa covers - especially for 3-seaters.0
