Reading a book at the moment called Think Like Da Vinci. Good so far. But the best bit is...

...my new found love affair with the sofa.

I have done many enjoyable and exhilarating things in my life, but I have never experienced such a durable ecstatic feeling as the one when I make a cup of tea whilst still in my dressing gown, and lie down on the sofa for a few chapters of my latest read.

I have had to put the book down and type this whilst in "the position" just so as I don't forget. This is true bliss.

Sofas and beds should be shopped for wisely. Here's a photo of mine:

I bought it in a sale at Harrods, should have been £4k but it was down to £1,195 - absolute bargainus! Sorry to go on about it but it is so luxuriant.

Tash has her own:

Right back to my self help, how to become a genius book. Apparently it is learnable.

    Morning Christoph, the sofa looks mighty comfy, dunno how you drag yourself away to get on with the show. Also when buying sofas always remember to take measurements with you, made that mistake before and when its delivered, its flippin huge, and in a modest lounge it looks massive!

    Morning everyone else

    Happy Anni JG, nice to get flowers, the ones I get are normally purchased by moi when doing the weekly shop in ELH!!

    Darce, sorry to hear you're still down xx
    How's the building work going?

    Hi Chris,

    They both look very comfortable and there is nothing quite like stretching out on a sofa, with a cuppa and a good book! And you look well snug in your hoodie!

    There`s something that`s been bugging me for some time now and I don`t know why!? I used to think it was good, then bad I really don`t understand it. Could it be a mistake, if so how? I`d love to wake up knowing it had all lead to something, but I fear this thing that is bugging me will never leave me.

    Mon dieu, CLP - your sofa looks fabbylishus! And what a bargain!

    We paid a little more than that for our mattress and it's the best investment EVER!

    Our sofa is huge too, but the only piece of soft furnishing in the room - given that there's only 2 of us and it's an ickle room in an ickle house. The sofa is big enuff for us to lay down, side my side, and watch a fillum. ALtho this is not recommended for football match viewing due to muchos shouting, kicking and general hooliganism (and that's just me - ha!)

    Onwards and indeed upwards.

    Loving the hoodie look - mine's a white number from Ikea!

    Nice Sofas Christoph - what I should be doing - looking for new ones but can't be - you know what- at the moment!!! Had that trouble with measurements tho' Pen - when the last 3 piece arrived - Oh no ! Ginormous!! mad furniture moving followed!

    Daisy from the last blog - deffo screen tea moment - twas brilliant!! Copy and paste and put on every day to make us smile!!!

    Right - just off to check if my email working now - back later.

    Loving the sofa look Chris! That is also one of my favourite positions (no rude comments please), plus a patchwork quilt that permanently lives on my sofa at the moment. I might have to assume the position again very shortly as . . . .

    . . .I am currently giving myself brain-ache trying to fill in the looooongest ever online application form for a council job. Why do they need to know the details of every job I've had in the last nearly 20 years?! So I can sympathise Seza!!

    Have finally just reached the supporting statement, but mind is now mush so may have to go get a cuppa and have a break before continuing.

    Ho hum, and I bet the job goes internally anyway.

    Hi Chris,

    I do like Tash's sofa, but I must say I would choose yours for the fact that I could stretch out! Even though I am a short-a*se, I do like to stretch! I think you are an absolute diamond for sharing these photographs with us!

    JG: happy anniversary - how lovely to have flowers delivered to the office! This is a man who is in love!! I did get six red roses delivered on Valentine's Day .... about 20 years ago!

    MTF: I read your post on the previous blog - very funny - even though you were really put through your paces! Hope the blood pressure is back to normal!

    I bought a new sofa back in May I think it was.

    Havent sat on it yet. I like my comfy clapped out old armcahair in my comfy little corner of the room. I know my place!!

    Strange question of the day, well first one anyway...

    Does everyone have one ear lower than the other?

    Reason for asking, My glasses always look lopsided, and after a quick look at CLPs pic, think he may have it going on too!

    Back to oven for final stage, putting it all back together.

    Then a much needed shower.

    Beez, if you cant shop , you really need to worry.
    I couldnt face eating my Wispa Gold on Friday night , i couldnt sleep for worrying if i was coming down with something ! Shared it with Mr Mc,but made him wait until Saturday afternoon, so i guess i was just "over tired" rather than poorly .

    Greetings on this fine sunny tuesday!

    Liking the idea of a nice snuggly dressing gown (I so want one with a hood on it!), the sofa and a book today. Feeling a bit under the weather, there's a germ lurking I fear.

    Before I can assume the position on the sofa I have to go buy some pet shampoo. Cat came home last night covered in what smells like olive oil, where from I have no idea, but she's doing such a good job of pulling her own fur out, I think I need to intervene and give her a bath.... that'll be fun!

    Hi Chris,
    I soooo get you and the book thing. Unfortunately I go o bed lot earlier now to read mine only to have hubby get in and inform me 'you know I can't sleep with the light on' - eh scuze me but that's AFTER he's kipped for a couple of hours on the sofa downstairs - yes with the chuffin light on!!!
    Oh and his pet hate is when I arrive downstairs with my fabulous pink fluffy dressing gown and look like the prevebial beached whale. He hates it with a vengance while I think its fab to slob around in.
    Men - will never truly understand them.
    PS Thanks for the good wishes yesterday, meant a lot.

    I have just eaten one tasty doughnut - its twin is looking at me, its either me or the bin - what do you reckon (promise to do half hour on wiifit if the answers yes :-) )

  • Comment number 33.

    Thanks Pen x - things have come to a head now - OH is moving out in a couple of weeks. Found out he'd been out on a date Sat night, not the first by the sounds of things either. Also booked himself a holiday which I knew nothing about.

    As for building - nothing much has happened for about a week ( you know the feeling!!). Getting a bit of painting done this week and then hopefully it all gets moving again next week, with the arrival of plumber and electician. Then when its all finally done I've got to put it on the market if I can't afford the mortgage anymore. Still got another wall to get down yet!!!

    sorry CLP - was distracted by food - we are in the market for a new sofa - well thinking the jan sales will be the time - I like brown furry material corner sofas - any idea what they are called so I don't make an ejit of myself asking for a fluffy sofa?

  • Comment number 35.

    BLYiPE - I read your post and thought I'd written it!! I have one at home just like that - the reading thing! He's not keen on my staying up later than him, but if I go to bed earlyish I NEED to read to help me sleep and then I get moaned at for having the light on.

    I think it's a "can't win situ" hon!!

    Belated Tuesday afternoon greetings to the blog!

    A couple of luvly looking squooshy sofas there CLP... just right to have a lie and read on. I've taken to using my extra large sofa for lying on now so that I can stretch right out and give the bump maximum roomage!

    On that front I took Mum along with me on Monday to the first day of antenatal course. She came out and told me that she was now far happier about the whole thing now... considering she's had 2 of her own. Aparrently she knew nothing about what was going on and is now fully in favour of me having a water birth if at all possible and has reminded me to make sure I listen to my hypno-birthing CD's every night! After the next round of the course I think she'll be quite the expert!!

    I hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying another seemingly warm and marvelous week. I shall be heading off down to Londinium tomorrow ready for the press launch and then presentation at the Langham on Thursday... a big deal for us so keep your bits crossed for me.

    But yeah, all this talk of snoring men, not being able to read in bed (if I'm really into a book I have been known to read until 3am), fighting over sofa space . . .not to mention surveys saying how unhealthy it is to share a bed . . .maybe we really are better off on our own!

    Lyndy, glad all's well with bump - fingers crossed for thurs!

    SBP, glad you ate the donut, shouldn't waste food :)

    Sezagirl/Deev, cat shampoo has been purchased, waiting till Mr comes home, I think cat bathing is going to be a 2 person event! Silly mog is still all oily and getting very grumpy so hopefully she'll realize we're just helping her out and won't object to being washed.... yeah, who am I trying to kid, it's gonna be an all out yowling scratch fest!

    JG..happy anniversary guys.. congrats! x

    Darce..just a big hug and one of my wispa golds sent to you virtually..(down to 18 now so can only spare one! hee hee..) Having been thro the same thing 4 years ago i can sympathise..but onwards and upwards and so what if you have to move..least it`ll be yours etc.. sorry, really not trying to be flippant but just wanted to try and help you stay positive.. HUGE hugs..xx

    Have managed to wangle lunch out today with GM mum so beans on toast for tea here..yum! Really into this not cooking lark!
    But need confessions please..who`s nicked the lid off my blender?! Turned the kitchen upside last night 3 times looking for it.. nope,nada,zilch..gone to the place with the odd socks i think. But hand blended soup instead and was delish..if a little lumpy!

    Ginge..massive good luck with the run on Sunday..will be adding my bit on Fri after payday for you.. great cause.x

    And thanks to anyone who has looked and spared a pound for the GM National 3 Peaks challenge..really appreciated. The Cancer Research thing is in memory of GM`s dad who we lost last Nov and my dad who died 12 years ago..they really do a great job. x

    However,my house is over run with camping stuff,first aid kits, rucksacks etc etc at the moment..you`d think there were 10 climbers not 4! But again, great cause so all worth it.

    Right ..gonna leave you all in peace..have lovely Tuesday evenings one and all!

    Hi all - bit of a should have been working a bit more than I should day - but well - things happen A???

    Agree with Scoobs Dragon need pics of cat bathing - do you have a waterproof camera? First time we did doggy mind - he was so shocked just stood there in the bath looking totally bemused!!!! It wasn't the bath however - it was getting him out when the trouble started!!! We now have a girl "who does" !!!

    First though, to whoever was wondering about having their oven cleaned earlier (sorry can't remember) - take my advice - DO IT! Worth every penny.

    MC, it was just a local cleaning company who did the whole house and whatever else you asked for, it was a one-off just before our wedding when I wanted everything to be perfect. I can't remember the hourly rate, soz.

    Beez, yep, tried nasal strips , throat sprays , nose clips, gum guard thing . Now its beds in East wing and West wing ! holidays a nightmare , i usually sleep all day , or stagger around like the walking dead through lack of sleep.

  • Comment number 93.

    Listen you lot - leave the snorers alone (oops has that given it away that I am one???)

    When I went on holiday with a 'friend' she made my life so uncomfortable, coz I kept her awake, that I slept 2 nights on the balcony with the sliding doors to the room shut .....and I was still able to keep her awake!

    Crumpy xx :o(

  • Comment number 97.

    Beez , yep, cant actually remember when/how it all started , but lack of sleep eventually made me ill . Apparently i was snorning on the beach, but no wonder when i had counted every hour on the clock all night , played my ipod till my ears throbbed and just stopped short of smothering !
    Love him to bits during daylight hours LOL
