The £10 sofa saga

Not many miles from us there is an auction held every two weeks which the OH and I like to get along to when we can...we were there yesterday and purchased a few items one of which is a sofa, quite a nice sofa - it cost me £10. We do already have two sofas but because I have dogs and one of them is a Great Dane and many puppies pass through this house, one of the sofas is feeling a bit sorry for itself and has less foam in the cushions than it should. This 'sorry for itself' sofa is going to become the dog sofa and the £10 sofa will be for humans only.

The £10 sofa was too big to go in the OH estate car ( especially as there were other purchases also) so we arranged for it to be delivered. I was expecting it at about 7.30pm.....it didnt arrive.........8.00pm still no sofa.........eventually I ring them, classic situation the van had to be jump started and is on its way......8.40 pm they ring me.....the van has conked out again and will need a proper recovery vehicle to take it away so the sofa didnt come last night even though it made it to within half a mile of my home.

Ok no big deal really BUT I had completely messed up the lounge to make way for the £10 sofa as I got it in my head that the whole room could do with a re-arrange and spring-clean at the same time. I have alot of clutter and ornaments( which have to be removed from the cabinets to move them about). So now I know not when the £10 sofa will be arriving and my lounge is in turmoil until it does as things may have to be jiggled around to my liking once it does arrive. I can live in this chaos for a few days but today I have a lady coming to see my present foster dog, she sounds rather posh and I'm not so sure that bringing her into my world war three practise zone is gonna be the best thing.
