    See, if I'd got to know about that, I'd have dragged the sofa back downstairs and lugged it back up there, on my own, even if it killed me.

    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    She obviously didn't mean it, it was just a small fib for the benefit of the delivery guys...



    Actually, we found out later that it's a piece of piss to move about when you've taken it out of the packaging and removed the loose cushions

    Conversation apparently went something like this:

    Mrs B: Can you take it upstairs for me?
    Argos: No Mrs, if it's over 50 KG we won't even attempt it.
    Mrs B: Well you might as well take it back then, because there's no way me and my husband can do it.
    Argos: Well let's just get it in the door, and we'll have a look.

    ...

    Argos: We can't even get it in the door.
    Mrs B: Well you can definitely take it back then!
    Argos: Let's have another go.

    ...

    Argos: Which room did you say you wanted it in again.
    Mrs B: The back bedroom on the left.
    Argos: Ok.

    ...

    Mrs B: I bet you're hot lugging that upstairs aren't you?
    Argos: A bit, yeah.
    Mrs B: Do you want a cold drink?
    Argos: OK, that'd be nice.

    ...

    Argos: There you go Mrs, all delivered upstairs into the bedroom for you.
    Mrs B: Thanks alot Argos! Here have a can of coke each for your trouble.
    Argos: Thanks Mrs. Bye then.


    "a can of coke each for your trouble"

    Never underestimate the power of Mrs B. to get what she wants
    did anyon else giggle at all the possible inneundos there?
