I remember when it was delivered it was an ordeal for two men. We managed to get it most of the way out but it’s not a straight run through the hall into the dining room and it got stuck. The builder will have to cover it with a dust sheet and work round it.Still need DD’s help with getting the TV off the wall though. I can’t see how it comes off the bracket. DD put her own TV on the wall so might have a better idea.

Hi SA. Long tome lurker here!
Just wanted to say I bought the QVC chair last summer and am so pleased with it. It was my treat to myself
Sitting in the sun with a book after a stressful day at work is fabulous. Hope you get plenty of "you-time" to enjoy it! 4 -
You need a sign for the chair~~SA's chair

So the TV is still on the wall, DD couldn’t get it off. The builder just messaged me to say clear the room as much as possible, which we have. I’ve decided to WFH tomorrow as Mr SA is worried about explaining things to the builder.NSD 6/10 today.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Enjoy your egg chair.Hopefully the builder can work around the sofa and I reckon he will be experienced at getting tv's off the wall for his customers.3

I feel the work from home is a good decision.
I had to give the plumber such specific instructions when he came to fix the taps and I was completely stressed about being at work.
Good luck tomorrowNevertheless she persisted.3 -

That is lovely. I love Clare Macintosh's books. I let you go was wonderful but After the End was even better. Really moving. Sorry Mr SA is poorly and making you suffer for it.Sun_Addict said:I belong to a FB book group and someone had commented how much she’d enjoyed reading I Let You Go by Clare Macintosh. I read this book recently and it was absolutely brilliant, kept me guessing right to the end. I commented I loved the book too. Anyway the author has seen our comments and said she had been feeling really down recently and how much our comments had cheered her up. Isn’t that lovely 😊I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
