Social Security have the form and are therefore not going to stop paying me. I hope.

I have my tablets, and I've put in another prescription request so that the next lot will already be there waiting long before I run out again.

My fridge is being delivered tomorrow morning. The Dorset Reclaim website evidently needs updating, because it says there that they charge £10-£40 for fridges - however, none of them were cheaper than £45. That being the case, I picked the nicest of the £45 ones... they had some big full-size ones for that price, but I really don't need a big one or one with a freezer compartment (I have a large freezer that my mother's friend Marie gave me when she bought a new one) so I picked the nicest and newest-looking small one.

I also have a glorious new sofa. It's a sort of sofa-bed futon on legs thing. It's made of matt black tubular steel with a big duvet-like cushion thing that goes on top. I had no intention of acquiring furniture but I fell in love with it... it's just absolutely perfect for the flat. And the two sofas I have are both very nasty - they were cheap and flimsy even when they were new, and I was given them for nothing when one of my sister's friends sold her holiday cottage. The one I usually sit on is broken. It's so flimsily constructed that I shall have no trouble lugging it out to the front of the building by myself to make room for the lovely new one.

Also, Dorset Reclaim charge £12 for delivery, but that's per vanload rather than per item. So I've saved £12 by getting the sofa as well as the fridge. Sort of.

The only thing I don't like about it is that the cushion-duvet-thingy that goes on it is blue with a yellow pattern and has felt tip pen stains on it. Clearly the previous owner had rugrats. However, I can pick up a very cheap grey duvet cover from Asda or T.K. Maxx to cover that. It'll look magnificent in grey and black.

That's much, much better.

glad you're feeling better. I also wanted to say that what you wrote in your last post was spot on about how I feel about the LJ, as well. I do it to regurgitate stuff, but at the same time, it leaves a funny feeling in my mouth. it's complicated, this LJ thing.

You know, futons can be fun
you pull of the cushion & you have a ready frame for bondage, and it's ADJUSTABLE!
:-D

Dirty head you have there LOL
Friend of mine did A2M the first time that way
was bound over one getting buggered after a beating and when he was ready to blow he just strolled round to the front and made her take it
She said she somehow didn't even really think about it at the time
Imagine that
