    I suspect there's a lot of decorating and "We need a new suite/dining table/spare bed if your mother's coming" in December.
    You could be right.

    Mate works for one of the large furniture retailers and, when I last spoke to him a few months ago, he said that I'd be surprised that people are still spending money on furniture.

    Bejesus - just took a gander at the DFS website and you can call and speak to a personal shopper 24Hrs a day. Why???

      When your new girlfriend (and when you have a new gaff, you WILL have a new girlfriend - spinsters can detect these things) kicks you out of bed, you'll have somewhere to sleep.


      (And if you want to doubt this, ask any married men whether I'm right, or whether I'm right.)

      And when is the flat-warming party? I'm really looking forward to that.

        Absolutely spot on their RC.

        Nov/Dec are the best two months for selling dining tables. Everyone wants a new one for that Xmas dinner.

        Then.... January is when I have always sold the most storage items. Mostly chests, coffee table trunks etc as everyone wants to hide those presents.

          You'll also need the sofa bed when people need to stay over after your house warming.

          So, where is the CUK invite?

            You'd stay over at a CUKKER's house who has already stated he loves 'Sweeney Todd' and thinks that Fred West was misunderstood!

              Too right. And your point is?

              [you missed the bits about guns and squirrels too]

              Surely you, a CUK God, are not trying to convince us you already have a life?

                    But us real members don't have lives, and the sockpuppets even less so, so how does that work?

                      DFS... does anyone else think this is hideous?
