Furniture

Having, quite accidentally, broken a desk which I have long argued didn't actually require to be replaced, I asked TBSITW and Le Chef to come over and measure up the size options that would have. So, okay, I have been doing some searching on the Internet and have got myself completely bamboozled.

At some time in the not too distant future I am going to get rid of my 3 drawer filing cabinet and downsize to a 2 or even 1 drawer; the 2 drawer allows for 2 lots of suspension files and is of the same height as the matching desk. The smaller one has one drawer for suspension files and 1 smaller one above, and fits under the desk.

Bet you have all fallen to sleep by now.

But there is worse to come!

I have always fancied a corner desk, gaining a lot of work space. However, most do not allow for adding either filing cabinet.

Anyway, TBSITW was amazed (and no doubt the rest of my family will be too) that I have ordered nothing yet. She is coming over on Wednesday to talk about it with me (she is always a steady pair of hands). She is also going to help me sort out my freezer contents list as it has got quite out of hand.

She brought over some sweet peas freshly picked this morning in the rain and also the beetroot from the garden that she forgot yesterday. She also brought me a Wasgij jigsaw and took away one I couldn't seem to get my head round doing.

Finally, I have been somewhat overwhelmed by the number of messages of sympathy over my stupid fall. Thank you all so much.

As time's marched on, I've developed an increasing interest in qualiy furniture. Sad, isn't it?

We are turning a small bedroom into an office for Nick. The prices of furniture were truly exhorbitant, so we have got a Joiner coming in to build a desk, etc. Works out so much cheaper - and more suitable.

Ah! Never thought of a joiner, and don't know one.....

To The Shrink:

I love quality furniture too, and it is not sad at all. What is sad is that I don't have sufficient income to meet my heart's desires!

That (the joiner) is exactly what I was going to suggest!

As it's already out there, I now have nothing interesting to say.

Plap!

thanks for dropping by anyway. I often go to make a comment on someone's blog and find either that it has been said already (often better) or that about 5 million comments have already been left and it seems a bit pointless making it 5 million and one!
