    Ha. I beat my alarm by 5 minutes but it wasn’t good enough. 7 missed calls (do not disturb and sleep mode do a really good job), and apparently my couch has already been delivered. Hope nobody steals it. Multiple small boxes rather than a single large or heavy one

    E: I went to cancel my alarms I thought I’d set, but apparently I went to sleep without even setting any alarms. That could’ve been dangerous…

    E2: the table is coming in 12 minutes and I don’t believe can be left. I won’t be there for another half hour yet. Oof.

    E3: he was able to leave the table. Had to sign a thing online, but all good. I’m leaving now, gonna bring a museli bar, banana, and some cookies in my bag. This feels like going to primary school! Gotta bring a piece of fruit or you get in trouble :(

    (Does anyone remember that, or was that just a my school thing/new thing?)

      I don’t envy you as I remember what that’s like and quickly learning that if the window for large items says 6am-9am that you’ll always be the first (maybe only) delivery of the day for them so be at the new place for 5:30am ready for the inevitably early 5:45am delivery.

      Also with the couch, don’t they normally put all that together for you when they deliver and have you missed out on that service (I’ve never had to put together a couch myself)?

        I’m not sure. I got my couch from IKEA, which I think means they don’t assemble shit

        I am trying to figure out how I turn 3 big boxes, a small box, and a roll into a couch though. I’m shit at following flatpack instructions

          Miss Meow says you just empty out the stuff and sit in whichever box fits your current mood.

          The boxes look comfortable enough, you could just throw a couple of pillows on them and job done 😂
