Got the sofa bed from Ikea yesterday.  Opened the box.  Found the bed, but none of the little screws and wheels that you need.  Ikea are having them sent over by courier. 

After that, on Friday morning we have a new bed arriving - we finally bit the bullet and decided to buy a bed.  The rental one sucks.  We found a brand new Queen size in the sale at Macy's for $600 which we thought was a bargin.  The salesman seemed to think we were insane because we wanted a firm bed.  We like a firm bed.  Both of us are carrying a few KGs too many and both of us get bak problems if we sleep on soft mattresses.  It would just seem that our "vision" of soft and that of the US bed market does not coincide.

After that we'll need a few new bookcases but that can wait until the shipping arrives in mid-March.  I think we need a piece of furniture which doubles as bookshelves and storage.  We'll see. 

Apart from that, we're then down to looking for a car.  We could just about manage to buy a car cash, but it would hurt like hell, so we're seeing if we can get a bank loan to cover getting something that isn't just a shed with wheels.

Had our first dinner guest last night, [profile] fringefaan came to help christen the place.  We had some dinner, drank some wine and chatted.  This being a school night we didn't chat too long and M and I watched an episode of Veronica Mars before bed.

Is it my imagination or is Kristen Bell really really starting to look too much like her real age to be playing a college kid?

When the Media Centre and the desk top arrive I'll be able to set up the TV for more effective viewing of downloads.  Currently, the plumbing for watching Life on Mars is rather messy, and I miss the remote control.  Everything should arrive in time for Doctor Who to restart, and I'll be aiming to host a couple of Dr Who evenings once we're all set up.  If there is anybody in Seattle who hasn't seen Torchwood, then I can probably arrange for that pain to be induced too.

Saturday I will mostly be watching Rugby.
