Feeling like a she-hulk

[Longingforatikihut]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place but it seemed most fitting-ish.

Short version: I just carried a 2 seater sofa upstairs on my own. Flexes scary lady muscles

Long version: 2 weeks ago I took delivery of a 2 and 3 seater vintage sofa set (suits my impending decor, good condition and best bit, free). I only really have space for the 3 seater downstairs and initial plan was to pass two seater on. Anywho, decided to keep two seater and put it upstairs in the office but had to move it before I started decorating the stairs/landing this week. No one to help me move it so I cracked on. Not an easy task in a typically narrow Yorkshire Edwardian terrace. But golly I done it and now I feel ready to conquer the world because I AM SHE-HULK! RAAAAR!!!!!

Not a stealth brag. Just a normal, chuffed little me, braggy mcbragface!

Sits and awaits typical mumsnetty 'i carried a elephant through the Savanna, a sofa is nothing' competitiveness

Yep. I am with you. My husband and neighbour were trying to bump start a car lar week but couldn't get it moving until I gave them a hand. I realise that I probably only added the tiny amount of extra needed to start it moving but I felt amazing. Woo.

Balderdash @Geneticsbunny. You did the pushing! Those weaklings were useless without you. Flex away!

Nothing to add as I'm a weakling and shamelessly enlist the help of random men for mundane/tall/strength tasks. But I love your OP

PIVOT!

I literally have no idea how you managed this 😄💪🏻.

@JaneJeffer there was very nearly a pivot moment. I was in the office. The sofa in the door hole. I thought I'd have to surrender and climb out the window but physics and physicality won.

@TibetanTerrah I bet you have strength in other ways.

Part of me is impressed whilst the other part thinks you were crazy to move it by yourself!

@SpacePotato I'm definitely crazy. That was never in doubt. Lol

I used to do similar sorts of furniture moves (not quite as impressive as that though!) around my various homes in my 20s/30s and I think those kind of things take 33% strength, 33% impatience and 33% stubborn perseverance! :) My strength has dropped off in the last couple years though so it would now take a lot more impatience and stubbornness! Thankfully I have those in droves...

Picture or it didn't happen 😉
