We went round Mum and Dad's last night. As you walk up to their door security light comes on that completely dazzles you. I always spend the first couple of minutes with spots in front of my eyes. We ordered a take away - we tend to do that instead of one of us cooking - much more relaxing for the designated cook. Mum phoned the order through and told them to get a move on. Well what she actually said was "And how long will that be? 45 minutes. Well as quick as you can." Which proves my theory that the older you get the less you care about what you say.
Then she did something that really shocked me. She took off her cardy and hanged it on the back of the armchair. We were never allowed to do that as kids. Their suite is ERCOL for goodness sakes. It cost a fortune. When they first got it 3 years ago we weren't allowed to sit on it if we were having a cup of tea, in case of spillage. Joe and Aaron weren't even allowed in the living room. And now she is hanging up clothes on it. Dad took the offending cardy out.
When they first got the Ercol settee and armchairs the cushions were feather filled. They were a nightmare - the cushions kept losing their shape and you kept slipping off them. They have had them replace by foam filled cushions and it so much better. So my furniture buying tip is don't buy feather filled.

My friends and I have talked about it often.We saved the money for buying a house.But the house always be occupied by a lot of stuffs.We could rather buy a suite which lets us relaxed and comfortable than buy a famous brand which makes us nervous.
I agree with you. We choose our furniture for comfort. We wanted to feel relaxed in our home.
