Mum's Upbeat About Her Furniture Order

Tweet

Lat night Mum was saying she 'wished' I was there with her as she doesn't like picking furniture and the like on her own. Well, I'm proud of her NOW as she picked some this morning at Lefton's, all by herself. She's all excited about it, mainly due to the discounts she's got. Now, when she rang Lefton's the other day she asked if the guy could measure the settee. When he said '28 inches' she thought, 'Mmm, that's going to be too wide,' lol. Anyway, when she went back into the store this morning she suddenly realised that the guy must have measured the 3 seater and not the 2 seater she wanted. 'It will definitely fit in the space,' she told me later on on the telephone, which is just as well, because she's ordered it, plus the chair shown in the online photograph. We did sit on it a few weeks ago, actually when I was at Mum's and I never thought the two-seater was 28 inches wide. Some of you with dirty minds will say, 'the wider the better' but in this case it's unjustified. Haha! Below is the exact photograph of what Mum is ordering. She's bought both for a total of one thousand and fifty pounds. Compare that with the 2 grand quote the other day and you get the idea why Mum is on such a high. She's also got some savvy insurance cover on it which enables her to acquire some free leather cleaner worth 50 quid! The cushions can be removed and re-covered if necessary. Personally, I think it's an extremely practical piece of furniture and I wish I had it in here, to be honest. Colour-wise, she's going for the colour shown (as it's in the shop as well on the display suite) and the alternative colours aren't good, like bottle green, for example. Very 1970s. Oh, and there's no red either, much to my disappointment!!
