Happy sofa day Fannies

can’t wait to see the monstrosity, Christmas has come early

I’m not at all shocked to see they didn’t bother their arse to measure it. Not a brain cell or measuring tape between them!
Can NOT understand how they haven’t measured!? They ordered it after they got the keys so why would they not check!?

I moved house 6 months ago and I’m still surgically attached to my tape measure - everything I consider buying needs to be checked! Big or small items. Mind. Blown.

we could be the same person apart from I bought my house three years ago

HAPPY SOFA DAY WEE FANNYS
My best find was Shiply. You post the eBay link and couriers quote a delivery cost. You know how much it will cost before you buy.
I bought a beautiful John Lewis sideboard for £50, then paid £40 delivery. It is hardly used and would cost hundreds in-store.
Did the same in the summer with garden furniture. A second hand wooden set that I then restained. Cheaper on eBay with delivery than buying new and it was all built!
Thoroughly recommend Shiply.

I also measure measure, measure! It is really thrilling to buy beautiful furniture at a low cost, something that would provide excellent and interesting content!!!!!

Waiting for her to post the sofa that they didn’t measure and was bigger than they expected.

I feel like they are going to be shuffling sideways to get past it

They'll have to stand on the gigantic coffee table and jump over the sofa, but don't worry guys, Johnny can sort it, he'll just knock the wall down and the whole downstairs will be open plan.

I measured for my sofa before I had the keys I kept asking the estate agents to let me go round and measure everything … zoomed out shots incoming

I got the masking tape out and mapped it out on the floor. I also got it delivered after I had decorated and had carpets fitted but I’m a bit crazy like that

She must be having a meltdown this afternoon. I wonder if it even fitted through the door? Or scraped off all the black unprimed paint trying to shoehorn in?

For this first time in my life, I’m desperate to hear her talk about it on stories

Jesus they are going to have to breath in and shuffle a lot who would have thought it would be too small
And that coffe table looks even more hideous now!

Same here! I laughed ( like proper snorting laughing whilst explaining to hubby) then ran to stories! And then to tattle
Wanted a cozy small living room my ass!!

Im crying. Do they have to jump over the sofa to get to either side of the room? There is a bloody radiator behind it. Couldn't happen to a nicer wee fanny.
