No, I haven't had a vajazzle or some such, it really is a new rug! We were looking for a rug to go in our newly decorated dining room (some of you may recall my moany posts about how our previous owner painted our coving with red gloss paint). The only problem was finding one that was big enough to fit the room and didn't require us to sell one of the children to pay for it 
. I found this website www.irugs.co.uk/?r=25291 and we got a fab rug (Agra in red, 8'x11' 100% wool) for £136 and that included shipping from the bloody US of A, and it only took 4 days from placing the order!!!! It arrived today and it's really gorgeous and so soft - I can't believe it was such a bargain ( and honestly I do not work for them!)
