    Morning Beanie, glad you've managed to find some chairs even if they're not exactly what you wanted. Does buying them mean painting the garden fence has been put back or is the lodger still with you and contributing to that pot :D Have a lovely day. xx

    I’m pleased you’ve got some chairs that are easier to get out of. What colour throws are you fancying?
    Do you have old chairs to get rid of or does everything fit in. I’m not surprised your feline friends have claimed one :rotfl::rotfl:they can always find the most comfortable spot.

    Hopefully something will turn up to balance it out. In the meantime do you have any blankets, bedspreads etc that could be repurposed as throws?
