    If I’m paying over a bag for bedroom furniture, there’s no ****ing way in Earth I’m putting the **** together myself.

    I bought some for one of the spare rooms last year, free standing, quality build, solid wood and not MDF or ply ****, delivered and unpacked in the room by the company I ordered off. Job done,

    There's a middle ground. I bought an oak wardrobe. Came flat packed and it was as heavy as ****. But it's made from solid oak panels and fitted together with a combination of traditional joints and dowels and screws.

    The quality of the components would be considerably diminished if I assembled it.

    It's never going to be as good as a workshop built oak wardrobe with dovetail joints etc. But it also didn't cost £2k. Plus my house is so small, you'd never have got it through the front door and up the stairs anyway.

    Just spent two hours on the planner sorting it all out to find some of the carcasses aren't avaliable. And the earliest delivery for it all is two days before we go away.

    ****ing magic.

    I've lived from a clothes rack on the hall, and general knocking about gear on a chair in the corner, for the last couple of weeks.

    Most of the stuff we'd take on holiday are in bags.
    Somewhere.

    So, it's now a case of hiring a van and going to pick up what's actually available. I've got to actually go to the place.

    Quote; " I'll go and order all the stuff and you just meet me in Cardiff after work and take it home".

    K'den.

    Can't ****ing wait. Weekend after next apparently.

    16 inch pizza.it's about as far as my online shopping goes...

    I wouldn't dream off buying clothes, shoes etc online...

    I like to try them on first to see if the actually fit, or look ok.

    ‘Hello Mr Fitted wardrobes specialist, I’d like some fitted wardrobes’

    ‘No problem, when can I come and measure up?’

    Done.

    I do actually know a bloke.

    He's got a business; the flat pack king.

    She's not having any of that though. I mean, why make things more simple eh?
