abendgules...to new digs. The estate agency has accepted both our deposit and our references.
We're pitching to buy our own sofa to replace the Nauga-hide specials that apparently 'haven't met fire code'.
This may be a polite way of saying, 'The landlord won't leave a vinyl sofa in a house with a cat', but frankly I don't mind. Leather sofas belong in mens' clubs; vinyl ones belong in the airport...
While searching for actual real wood furniture, vs the laminate chipboard variety a la IKEA, I came across this site: like Gumtree or Craigslist, but only for people who want to outfit a pub. There's even one for secondhand pub equipment.
Makes me wonder if someone was trying to furnish their new pub and said, 'jeez there's gotta be a better way to do this.'
Of course you have to fight your way past the eBay, Gumtree and Amazon listings first.
