I bought garden furniture. This set (only I got it even cheaper, for £199, boo yay!) to be exact because it will also nicely work in my lounge meaning guests have other options besides cuddling with me on the two-seater sofa or sitting on the floor. Plus now I have a proper coffee table rather than using a cardboard box.
Yes, a major motivation for buying this set was the fact that mum is coming to visit in a month and if I don't have something better than a) a quilt for her to sit in the garden and b) a cardboard box for her to put her glass of cider down, she will c) give me an eyeroll of motherly exasperation and d) buy them herself.
But! Hah! Foiled!
Because now I have table and two chairs. Let me tell you though, that table was a fucking bitch to put together. Took me an hour and a lot of force to align all the screw holes with screws. It was a full body workout and I am sweating and shaking now. But, rawr! Victory!
...there might be an actual life update at some point, but this post wasn't it. As you were.
