it's second hand and quite large, about 2'6 deep by 6' long. a bargain at £40 but with a £10 delivery charge.

i got it delivered, but it was up to us to get it upstairs. :rolleyes:

its size and weight meant little room to manoeuvre, and no 2 son wasn't a whole lot of help. so it had to be dismantled. it's taken me a couple of hours, but i have now got it put back together up in my room, the pc/monitor/keyboard/printer/mouse and sounds all wired in and working.

i am hot, dusty, knackered, and have two exceptionally purple bruises - one across the top of each knee - i got those before taking the bloody thing apart. :rolleyes:

but! comfort! no more shelves digging into my shins. no more leaning forward to the keyboard... AND locking drawers both sides! snazzy, huh? :D

I hate the things. All particle board and weigh more than the truck that brought them.
 
I've got the desk that was in my husbands office and it's one hefty piece of furniture. I can't remember how he got it up here but suffice to say I didn't help! I've also got his chair and it's still in pretty good nick considering how long he's been retired and goodness knows how long he had it before then. They don't make 'em like they used to!

this is very true ... but it doesn't dent my saddo sense of achievement :D

i could have done with a couple of strong, gorgeous-looking men to turn it on end and carry it upstairs, but when me and no2 couldn't manage it, that's when it had to get deconstructed :rolleyes: still, my bruises look pretty today - most colourful!

how's hubs, annie? recovering well, i hope :rose:

They've got him up and walking now and lots of physio, going to see him this afternoon. It's funny I thought I will get loads done while he's in there, write lots of poetry ..... but what have I done? yeah that's right sweet fanny adams lol
 
I had a computer desk which was a roll-top.
One side was drawers, like a conventional desk, the othe side was for the computer, including a power strip sort of thing. Other than that, solid oak. And lots of little drawers above.

that's about right :D too busy sorting out stuff, traveling to and fro, fretting a bit... he'll be home soon and then you can get back into it :D

sounds lovely... and heavy!
 
Under a tea cozy? In the flower bed?

Am I getting warmer? Colder? :confused:

well I was thinking more of my bruised ribs (did you know that when you want to sneeze and you usually take a big breath beforehand when you have bruised ribs the body automatically doesn't?) so I'm not sure where you are coming from with tea cozies and flowerbeds!

'sokay, annie, his perversions are showing a little is all :D
 
:rolleyes: personally, i don't like bruises. just this matching pair was both funny and striking :D


*titters*

tea cosy - lol. we've moved on a little since then ;)

The Pentagon knows that Britain controls 67 percent of the world's strategic Coz(s)y reserves. We're coming for 'em, cb!

I hope you feel better. And your flowerbeds heal.

Tea cozies are the hot sex toy of the first half of the second decade of the millennium!
