Went up to see the bedroom suite that dad bought that caused the problems. It isn't what I would have picked but it isn't bad and the pieces all match this way.
I thanked him and told him I liked it, which I do. Haven't talked with mom so no idea if she is upset or not.
She wanted to get me a mattress and sofa and he bought a mattress and bedroom suite that she said was ugly.
So today I did something that Pam couldn't have done in the past!!!!!!!!!!
I went to a furniture store, wandered around looking at sofa's. Talked to a salesman, asking what material would stand up best to the shelties and bought a sofa and loveseat that were on sale. Shouldn't have spent the money, or should I say charged it, but mom had wanted me to have a new sofa for when people came to see my new home.
I realized the one I have, which I bought second hand from a girl I worked with, 7 years ago was looking pretty worn so I went for it.
I was a bit uncomfortable but told myself, shoot it is just looking and talking with someone and you like to talk.
So I did fine, pleased with myself.
I think I really like the sofa as well, hope it goes with my yellow walls!!!!!!!!!!
