Three years to get debt free

Onebrokelady

What a pain about the garden furniture, did it turn up in the end ? I tried to buy a a new table and chairs for my garden but all the ones I looked at were sold out. I'm going to wait until next year now

Don't leave us hanging like this!? Did they turn up? I'm getting over invested in this haha. 

Yay to the big furniture going! I appreciate its not got a new owner yet but I start feeling a bit liberated from the minute it's listed. And how lovely to have a guest room! You should really make the most of it. 

Hope you've done alright in doors again xxx

Hi Sticky,

hope you’re better now? 

Was it easy to find? X

I’d had a quick look in the debt free diaries but I didn’t know which username to look for but I remembered that we’d messaged sometime in the past and was able to find it by using your username from there.

Thank you Sticky. 

How are you now? Hope you’re better? X

Sorry, I’ve just been tired and I’ll explain below.

The furniture arrived and I built it and it’s actually quite a nice set. I tried to cancel the other set and they’ve said it’s too late! So I’m going from none to two. They said I can reject it or send it back. This is from a much more reputable firm so rejecting it is ossicle the best option. My other idea is to just keep it as it’s on a 5 month plan as I always planned to add to my small set in the garden. It’ll fit well in the conservatory now that it has been emptied.

the big unit has a bid on it and a colleague of mine is quite interested too. I’m tired because he calls me the eBay queen and asked me to help him list some of his old clothes so he dropped them at the door on his way to work at 5am 😳. 

I’ll get rid of the big unit and then move DD’s bigger toys into the spare room so it’s part guest and part playroom. Her room is full of things and I need to separate part of it out. It’ll be a run up the holidays job as I need the big unit and book shelf gone and I’m restricted on that until it sells and someone can come into the house and help me move it.

That then leaves the conservatory as a proper room so I plan to have it carpeted and use the spare furniture set to go in there/or when I change the living room put the old sofa set in there. We shall see! 

Big plans and a small budget. 

I’m in my overdraft by a few pounds. I need fuel and shopping this week but I’m
due £85 a week tomorrow so that will hopefully keep me just out of it. 

Have a lovely day everyone x

Great that your garden furniture has arrived and that you like it. You always make me feel inadequate when I hear how quickly you get things done.  No hanging about just thinking about it for you, you got on and assembled the furniture in the blink of an eye.  Pity about the second set but you have 2 options for it (keep for later or return) so shouldn't be too much of a nuisance, apart from the unexpected cost of buying 2 sets of course.  I think  it was that cargo ship that blocked the Suez canal a few weeks ago that caused all these nightmares with delayed garden furniture.  Apparently there was a LOT of garden furniture stranded on there and many suppliers in UK were unable to fulfil orders.  I know someone who'd been planning for new garden furniture and saved up for ages to afford it.  Their old stuff went to the tip in readiness of the original expected delivery date as the swing sofa thingy had collapsed anyway!  Their new items still haven't arrived and they've decided they don't really need it after all as their garden isn't very big. unlike yours,  and looks so much better without any.  They've been managing with a couple of folding, padded recliners that we never used and passed on to them (originally given to us by someone who's ALWAYS upgrading/keeping up with the Joneses LOL) and think they'll stick with them for this year at least and try to cancel their order.  Your cancelling experience doesn't sound too good though so I hope they aren't too late to stop dispatch from the supplier.

Happy 'release' day when it comes.  Can't be much longer now xx
