Almost There...
Feb. 22nd, 2007 11:18 amGot 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.
