    Just a wee thing but sometimes sofas take about 12 weeks to arrive...

    That's a bit bigger than a wee thing! ;)

    The website says approx 4 weeks so hoping I'll be alright. Need to get a definate answer from the letting agent so I can plan these sort of things like cancelling internet and phone line at home! :wall:

    Me too. Where we having it? :confused::p

    Ordered my sofas but they might not be delivered for quite a few weeks after I've moved in! :(

    Now I've just got bedroom furniture, an ironing board and coasters to buy. :)

    Oh, and pay the first months rent in advance with a month and halfs rent deposit. :rotfl:

    You'll do it - you somehow always manage to find a way. :)

    Have you got a moving date yet then?

    That's always been one of my strengths. Even as a kid, I could always make money, normally car washing, but I used to spend it quicker than I made it. Somethings never change eh? :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Not 100% definate which is annoying me. Should be 4 weeks yesterday but I've got nothing in writing. Letting agent said he'd be in touch! :confused:

    Got a stag do this month aswell which is gonna cost some aswell. :doh:

    I just want to be in my flat now. I hate all the waiting around. I'm too impatient. :wall:
