Just a few problems here beegeebee
Do your dreams really boil down to a grey material couch with added scotchguard (optional extra)? What would your eight year old self say?

Also who the fuck buys a couch outside the mad kerazzy 50% discount bank holiday sales ??

Pfft!
Have you seen the sofas that go in those sales.

I've never had to endure the horrors of purchasing couchs n shit, so thankfully no.
My mummy bought me mine!

It's not grey and my eight year old self would say get a bigger sofa because my eight year old self was tall for her age.

( girlinthehole, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 19:46, Reply)

Does that bird come with the couch?
If so I'll have two please. I'd just like to sit there and hold her hand for a bit.

Well make sure you pay the extra for the Scotch Guard.

hey Jeff
you have a better day today? Kicked shit in the ass?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:24, Reply)

No so much kicked shit in the ass.
More, work up with a hangover, went to work and had a cooked breakfast. A hot lunch and I was fine by the afternoon.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:34, Reply)

that will do for better, though
are things OK, now?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:36, Reply)

Well, today isn't yesterday.
And I'm having a few days off the sauce. Which will do me good.

Yourself?

Tell 'em that unless they get their act together you'll be taking them back to the pet shop.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 21:12, Reply)

given how lovely that pet shop is
(they let all the animals out in their runs for a bit, give them loads of veg, handle them each day) I don't think they'd be all that bothered

And I'll bet it's like 'Toy Story' when the staff go home and they have parties and drinks.

I gotta do the same in a few months.
Inner 4 year old: Can we turn these upside down to create a sufficiant forte?
Inner 8 year old: When the volcano goes off, can we get to the other side of the island without touch the floor? (which is lava) ?
Inner 12 year old: I really don't give a shit, it's a sofa.
Inner 16 year old: Can I get it so when Jenna comes 'round, get it so we're sitting to each other and have a good snog.
Inner 20 year old: Can I get it so when everyone fucks off and it's just me and Lisa can get a good old fucking session? Best get leather, wipe proof.
Inner 24 year old, and happens to be the realistic ones: Will the sweet'n'sour stains show up if I spill some sauce down my top?

Best go for the scotchguard Gonz it should cover all eventualities
It's also a right pain in the prick to get couches up stairs for flats, so measure up first to make sure it'll fit to avoid disappointment, tears and tantrums.
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:06, Reply)

Yeah', deffo.
These days, with the sort of price range I'm looking at, the sofa comes in a few different parts, so I think I'll be alright.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:12, Reply)

This
choosing a sofa is a great responsibility. I chose the one that enveloped me to such a degree I couldn't get out of it again in the showroom. I love my sofa, and it's a nice chocolatey colour so you can drop your dinner or your red wine on it and it won't show.

NB, on the occasions I have dropped my red wine and/or dinner on it, I have removed and washed the covers regardless. I'm not that much of a skank.

I am astonished that it is nearly friday again already. Settling in well at work though which is nice.

And yours?

What happened yesterday?

(berk, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 20:33, Reply)

I'm thinking of coffee'n'cream colours for the place, with feature elements. I like it when they have a floral or royal pattern wallpaper on a feature-wall...
.... in a hotel, they did that, but instead of a wall, they used golden picture frames and filled it with the paper. That seemed like a good idea to me, looked wicked and you can change them easily.

What sort of thing do you like Berk? I mean, considering how much time you'll be staying at mine at some point in the future, you might as well get a say in it.

neutral colours are the way to go, Gonz.

^this
If your main furniture and carpets etc are neutral then you can add colour with cushions, pictures, curtains.

I gotta be honest though, it looked really good ouside of photo, and those couches are sooo comfy, even to sleep on
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 21:25, Reply)

Haha! not a big fan of green and orange but they're muted tones so work well.
And in a bright summery place like Greece then colours like that can work.
( girlinthehole, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 21:28, Reply)

Plus the walls and floor are neutral so the colours on the furniture aren't overpowering.

( girlinthehole, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 21:31, Reply)

After years of renting where every landlord paints everything magnolia and trade white
you finally get a place all of your own to do with whatever you please. And we all go with something neutral. Damn you lack of collective imagination.
