I'm needing to replace several items from the cottage and have to do it on a minuscule budget.
The kitchen needs a chair and I've been looking for one from eBay and Facebook for a while.
I found this one in nearby Holywell and it's hardly seen an arse . It only cost me 40£
I was cock a hoop.....even though I couldn't get it in Bluebell!
The woman selling it was clearing some stuff before a permanent move to Spain, so after She gave me tea and biscuits I'd also bought a hardly used microwave oven and a bread bin with a cartoon of a flamingo on it
Hey ho

  13. I know you don't want to hear anything bad about Chris, but Good God, did he really need to take furniture from the cottage, knowing your situation? Pah! I found it hard to read that you were reduced to wearing a fur-lined hoodie in bed to get warm when you felt ill recently.

  28. I love it! I'd love to get a new sofa and chairs for our living room. The room is small. The current furniture is large and over-stuffed. Would love to have something soft and comfortable that didn't take up quite so much space. If you find anything, just throw it all on top of Bluebell and drive on over!
