No matter how old they are, you never stop feeling upset for your children when they are hurt do you? Especially when there is nothing you can do to put things right. Our daughter has really coped very well since her husband died last December, she has taken holidays and has bought a bungalow as where she was was a bit isolated. She has completely redecorated the bungalow and is moving in this week. Everything has gone well, new bathroom put in, new cloakroom made out of a store cupboard. |

That's such a shame Ann. I have a friend who had a problem three piece suite but the company arranged to have the glass from her front room window taken out, put the suite through that and then had the window put back in. It was a nuisance but at least she got the suite she really wanted - though she will have the same carry on if she wants to change it ! |

Kath, yes, that is what the firm are going to look at the trouble is she has a large bay type window so it will be a big job to do. and they can't get anyone to look at it until Thursday. |

This seems to be the norm now - furniture too big to get into the house or the interior door. |

We had to take down the bannister rail and spindles to get enough room to turn one settee we bought. Right PITA it was. When we changed it I cut it in half. |

She has to wait until Thursday when the salesman is next in to see what is happening. It was the delivery men who told her she should have been warned about needing a double door. The shop offered a refund minus a restock charge, she turned that down. |

Hope this problem gets sorted, Ann. Maybe your daughter can laugh about it later on? |

We have a sort of dogleg from the front of the house to the back ............. the dining room leads into a very small square hall and then there is an immediate right turn into the kitchen and through to the back. Any furniture basically has to be tipped on its end from the dining room into the hall, then turned around 180 degrees and slowly tipped over again to be got round that dog leg. |

Ann you have made me think, D has a new suite ordered since we moved out, all our stuff was put in through the back door, so I will tell her to enquire if she will have the same trouble as your daughter.she has our old two seats until it comes. |

You never do stop worrying about them do you. Your poor daughter has had enough to cope with lately. I hope it gets sorted out for her. |

Liz :-) I am sure he would be for a joke trying to put a spoke in the works. She can afford expensive but always remarks that she doesn't now have the voice of reason telling her she can't afford it. When it is solved I will mention it. |

It seems that furniture these days, especially sofas, is huge - deeper and longer often with very large arms. We had 2 new ones last year and brought them through the conservatory as we don't have a hall, just a 'snicket', and it's a tight turn. I deliberately chose 'less large' ones but they're still quite big! |

Apparently it is the front door that it won't go through, they only tried the 2 seater. |

Anne, If her Bungalow has Double Glasing, would it not be possible to get the furniture through the windows,(Its easy to take out and put back, Might be worth exploring this. Take care, **M**. :-D |

Merlin, yes she has double glazing, not sure how it is affected because the window is a bow but the shop are supposed to be getting somebody to look at that possibility. |
