The wait is over, nothing every runs smoothly, at least they are soft to sit on.
I was really excited this morning knowing my new sofa's where on there way and would be with us before 3pm, I was looking forward to having something soft to sit on, to fold down the deck chairs then be able to relax whilst watching the TV tonight. I should realise things never run that smoothly for me.
They phoned me to let me know they would be here withing 30 minutes, this gave me time to sort things out and put the dogs away so they could get busy fitting the sofa's. When they arrived i made them a cuppa. I left them too it, it only took them 20 minutes. I let them out then when i took a good look at the furniture i realised they had brought the wrong ones, I ordered a 4 seater formal back sofa with a 2 seater formal back seat plus a stool. They sent me what i ordered but the 4 seater was a scatter back, plus i asked for foam filled seats and backs, the 2 seater backs are fibre filled. these don't keep there shape for very long, you have to keep pumping them up plus every year they need refilling. I first phoned about the sofa mistake, they told me to send photos to the store i bought, within 5 minutes i got a phone call to say they had received my email and can see the mistake so first thing tomorrow morning they will be dealing with it, it hen emailed about the filling, still waiting to hear back.
I do like how the sofa's look, the room will look better when the sofa matches the seat.
I am not the only one who likes them, the dogs have took a liking to them too, think they are glad they have somewhere comfortable to sit.
I have my new curtains and voile's up, hubby has his fish tank up and running. He took a sample of water to the pet shop to get it tested, it came back perfect so he started adding his fish. he's adding them slowly, first in are his Red tailed shard, Cat fish and Knife ghost fish. They will be in for a couple of days then he will add a couple more. They will be loving the extra space and new hiding places. They do look pretty happy .
I am looking forward to the weekend when we can all relax again and enjoy our new room, hubby is putting up my silver mirror then once i get the right seats then we can start to think about our bedroom, don't think that will be getting done this year as now have to save up again. I am excited about being able to go out and buy a Christmas tree now we have room, i haven't had one up for around 5 years.
Its now time for a coffee and a scone as a celebration, then an early night as shattered. Hopefully there will be good news in the morning.

The Sofa looks so comfy and I love that fish tank setup, Makes me want to setup one when we move next year
Hubby loves his fish tanks. If i gave in he would have 1 in every room lol
I sold my last one about 10 Years ago when we did a move, and I said I wouldnt get another tillI retired and would be set in a place for a while and that time is getting close for me
Once you start there's no stopping. Lol
I think my wife knows that and thats why she is not so keen on my idea LOL
It takes over, he's always busy with the tanks. Keeps him out of trouble at least lol
LOL thats an argument i must remember to justify it LOL
Always works good him 😁
I think the little ones are enjoying the new sofa
They are a bit unsure at the moment lol
