If I wanted to buy...

... half a dozen cheap cotton dressing gowns...

... a super-king bed with a non-solid wooden headboard and a mattress-level or non-existent footboard, that wasn't the £750-excluding-mattress one from John Lewis or the one in the manky orangey colour from Ikea*, and I wanted to actually see it in a shop...

* Yes, I know, but it's only the fitted sheet and I tend to just have plain ones of those that tone with the rest of the bedding, so I don't think it'd be a problem.

... the time and equipment of some people to move the contents of the flat into the new house...

... a non-gas BBQ with two sections (so that we can just use one if it's just us, or use one for veggie stuff if there are more people) that doesn't appear to be made of tin foil (like this one seems to be...

... where would you suggest that I look?

Also, if anyone has strong views about the relative comfort levels of the Ikea HAGALUND and LYCKSELE sofabeds for sleeping purposes, or the general quality of Indesit freezers, do let me know, hmm?

Why, yes, we have been looking at things for the house over the last few days!

Oh, Muji. Good idea, but Mike's just read over my shoulder and said "They're £39 each", so maybe not. (That did make us think of Uniqulo, but they don't have any.) Amazon have lots of frilly little things and lots of ones that cost more than I'd really like to pay, and not much in between. I might have to try a street market, or something.

I just want the kind of thing that you have in your spare room, and for exactly the same purpose.

You have discovered my cunning plan.
