For the last 4 years, Kev and I haven't had a proper sofa. We had one but it was secondhand and died. We just never bothered to get another one and made due with a day bed. The day ed was never very comfy, but it worked. Getting a proper sofa became a joke between K and I. We felt it would mean we had arrived in adulthood when there was a couch in the house.

Well, faced with a combination of me being here all day, my salary reducing from next month and a string of visitors arriving soon, we decided it was time. As I am completely against buying furniture on credit we found a great deal on a leather sofa online. It arrived this morning and looks lovely.


A close up of the stain in the middle:


So adulthood has arrived. How do I feel??? A bit pissed off really. I have been trying sooooo hard to keep the downstairs and bathroom clean the last few weeks. I have managed really well, until today. It just exploded with the vacuum breaking again and a husband who can not tidy up after himself. I am feeling like a bit of a slave at the moment. I keep getting lots of comments about how someone works and is now "supporting" us. I don't think its meant with maliciousness, its just a reminder of how my status in this world and relationship has changed dramatically. I used to be the breadwinner. I used to be a stand out star of a worker. Now I am just a bad housewife.

Kev was sick all weekend and I have a sneaky suspicion E has caught it. He is really clingy today and wants to sleep (on me of course). Gonna try and put him down and keep cleaning.
