7 - seater!!  I'm after a 2 and a three seater.
Was also looking at the 'chez long' sofas... i've fcuked up the spelling of that but who cares. One of the seats has an extra bit on where you can put your legs up, was sitting on one round a mate's the other day watching the game and it was lush!!

you can go into places like DFS, go right to the back and they usually have the ex display/discontinued stock ready to buy for cheaper then usual
Failing that, IKEA

i have about 2.5k to spend on a decent double bed and a not so decent double bed... a 3 seater and a 2 seater leather sofa.
Is this reasonable if i look around for deals/ex display stock etc like mentioned above?

we could probably hold fire on the double bed for the 2nd bedroom for a while (december pay maybe). Just get our good one sorted and then blow the rest on some nice leather sofas  oh and the DVD player

it is but it would be quite cramped to be honest. It's nice how it is... I don't mind.
Forgot to tell you, our mortgage adviser is based in Dinas Powyls (spelling) in Wales. We had to go up there to meet him and sort stuff out.

Ally go and see a person called Steve Davis, he's an independent adviser and is
02920515500
Not sure how big the living room is in feet to be honest, it's not even as though we can get a breakfast bar type thing put up against any of the walls, two sofas on two of them, fireplace on another and big doors leading out to the garden on the other.
4.99 is a great rate, ours if 5.89 fixed for 5 years.
