Men will never understand…. This is a fact! Having recently moved house i have come to the conclusion that no matter how sensitive ones “co-habiting partner!” is, he will never quite grasp the same spindly concept that most women do. And that is….Things don’t have to be comfortable to have their place in your home, in fact the more uncomfortable they are the more I like them. Chances are if things are practical and comfy then they are bloody ugly and boring!!
So what…… I like lamps that give out so little light they are practically useless, but make the room look like something out of the latest addition of Elle Home, enough scatter cushions on your bed to pad out a small house, candles lining every inch of unused space. All of which are completely useless often annoying and unnecessary luxuries. But a good friend once advised me its “The reason not the need”

I like them. I take after my mother, sadly I do get excited about buying a candle and rushing home to put it in the place which I have imagined it to be in, in my head all day, it gives me a sense of satisfaction!
So, cleverly (I think!) I have managed to convince my “equal” partner in this equation that we “NEED” a new sofa along with a new table and chairs. Despite having no money and a perfectly “practical and comfy” sofa, dining room table and chairs already there.

“Prison furniture”, as I now refer to it, not that I have any idea what prison furniture might look like, but I imagine it to be like that!!!
It sounds awful but it’s not, its natural instinct to want to feather your own nest with your own useless, unnecessary luxuries! Birds do it (theirs aren’t necessarily useless or unnecessary!?) but they don’t use other birds second hand feathers, do they? So why would I want to sit on a second hand sofa and eat at a practical table!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am probably being a little dramatic!!
