Paint on the new sofa! - its just made for the day.
I'd suggest you put the old sofa out front, people will take just about anything these days. Being Friday 13th though, someone would set fire to it and burn your house to the ground.
I’m home alone tomorrow which is a twat. I’d normally just do it myself but I’m a hand down so lifting is out of the question.
The old one is going to the tip so I think I may just take a hammer to it and drag it out in pieces. Fuck it.
Maybe I will put it out front. Burning the house down would solve all my problems.
... do whaaaaat? There is a better way to get shot of it...
Act all ditzy blonde
Look helpless and vulnerable - a slightly quivering bottom lip and feeble lifting of your injured arm all adds to the frazzled stress effect
Offer to tip well, whilst smiling your sweetest smile (gotta be worth every penny, surely!)
If none of that makes the delivery guys take your old sofa away with them, sic Wiggsy on them
I'm not ashamed to say that I've used my feminine wiles on several occasions, although the effect lessens with age and gravity! My sons just roll their eyes at me.
Friday the 13th doesn't worry me - it's just another day.
....tbf, it's not just us women, Jem. Men know how to work it too. They sure can do the 'helpless' thing when it suits them.Eg.... "darlin....sorrreee...<long pause to heighten the drama>... but I'm worried about buggering up this new washing machine.....what.....temperature..umm....spin cycle.... should I be setting again....?"
On topic while I'm here... Friday 13th. No prob for me
