My relaxing day off!

Whoever suggested we buy a house that needed work, please shoot them...oh hang on, that was me! I have spent my day off trying to watch The Vicar of Dibley boxset out the corner of my eye (belated birthday present, many thanks Mike and Jan) while cleaning the paint off the floor, glue off the step by the back door and tidying our shit hole of a bedroom, oh and there's the other thing. We got a new sofa and of course, Matt being Matt, we got it before the old one had been taken away, I kid you not I have spent today ringing every charity that takes furniture in Nottingham, and not one wants it. Or they do but can only pick it up two weeks on wednesday, how very useful. The thing is this is a good sofa, it's not too worn and pretty comfy, you probably wouldn't choose it if you were buying it, mainly becasue it's yellow and red, but if you had nothing, it would be great, and the really sad thing is because we cannot get anyone to take it away and we currently have two sofa's occupying a space which is barely big enough for one, we will be dumping it, now thats great recycling isn't it! Seriously whats the world coming to when you cannot give something away. Not wanting to seem bitter but next time I am stopped in the street by a charity who inform me that I must donate, as some people have nothing, I may think twice, and maybe even tell them this little tale of woe!
