Rosemary Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 My husband came home from work at 12:30 today and told me to get dressed, we were going shopping :eek: unheard of in my house - he does not like to spend money unless it is absolutely necessary. I had asked him last weekend to help me by vacuuming the lounge and the sofas. He did. He hated it. He couldn't believe I had to do that every day. The material on the sofas is like velcro to husky hair, and is/was a nightmare to keep clean, especially now when the huskies are shedding. Anyway, we went and bought a leather lounge suite and they deliver it tomorrow. I think he was a bit unnerved at the price of leather suites, but to his credit he kept quiet and paid up. How cool is that. Yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Awesome. Hmmmm. now what else can you cover with Husky fur. The outside of the car The inside of the fridge. The screen of the TV which you feel is now too small. get him to clean those every day. You'll be receiving packages from all around the world with Husky fur in To help your supplies, and shock your hubby at just HOW much Husky fur you clean up in a week. C'mon guys and gals Rosemary needs your fur. You'll probably get a new house out of it. Oh, Damn you've already got that sorted haven't you. . . hmmm Oh yeah, cover your bike. . . damn husky fur gets everywhere. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks [MENTION=1354]Andy[/MENTION], but you can keep your husky fur - I have enough to last a lifetime with Ozzy & Micah both blowing at the moment It is pouring with rain here, so don't know if they will be delivering it today Oh well, I have waited this long, another day probably won't make that much of a difference, but darn, but I am sooo impatient .......

Rosemary Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 After lots of drama we eventually got an undamaged couch. The original had a tear in the leather, the delivered a second one and the recliner mechanism was faulty, the third was delivered with scuff marks on the back side of the one sofa - but we kept it after getting a discount. Honestly, how difficult is it to have some sort of quality control before furniture leaves the store Anyway, here is a photo - my daughter is not overly fond of it, it is too 'matchy matchy' for her taste I must still figure out how to remove the plastic on the reclining chairs without damaging the leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
