Oh I have done something ^SO^ stupid...

And so out of character for me I am putting it down to pregnancy hormones.

A bloke with a big white van turned up on my doorstep, said he was selling a cream leather 3 piece suite. He said he wanted £280, and that it was brand new, just out of a show home.

So, I bought them, and currently have my big old comfy sofas outside on the front lawn.

I hate them.

They are hard, they are not ever such good quality, they are uncomfortable, and too small. I want my old sofas back. I've been in tears about it, but don't know what to do. We have nowhere to store them to sell them, so we can't bring the old ones back in, dp is extremely pissed at me, and we are stuck with them.

He quite likes them, and thinks I am being very silly.

I think I can almost top you on the done-something-stupid scale, colditz...
...put dh's coat in to wash with the bl**dy digital camera still in the pocket.
That's 200 euros down the drain.
and a bit too if I'm honest.

Well done colditz!

Oh thank you very much cod, I feel an even bigger wazzock now!

How embarrassing!

Dp has been telling everone we have spoken to about the new sofas that were only in the house 2 hours.

They aren't elephant scrotumy though. They look ok in my neighbour's house, just not suitable for my scruffy abode.

I do not know what on earth possessed me. it is so far out of character! I usually deliberate for weeks before buying new clothes, I can't believe I bought a dodgy 3 piece on impulse!

Phew, colditz, that's all I can say! If your baby is a girl will you be calling her Sophie

Never knew white sofas from white vans had made in onto mumsnet before...(pondering in puzzlement emoticon)

Har.

No, it's a boy anyway.

The second I sat on it I knew I had done a very silly thing. It was so uncomfortable.

£300 worth of fish? How many crab sticks does that get you?
