Re: The Cats are good too thread

A friend of mine has 2 Maine coon mosters. They are massve fluffy things, apparently more like dogs in that they are happy lazing about. One of them decided to use me as it's bed for most of our visit. I don't like cats particularly but I quite like this one.

Value of vintage furniture

My Dad has taken our old kitchen table and chairs out of the attic and asked me to sell them, and very kindly has said I can keep the money. Having looked online, they seem to be anywhere from 110 for a table to 2000 for the table with 4 chairs. I have a table and 2 chairs. I had no idea they were e...

It only went up a pound or two a month so I saved hassle and stayed put but when you get the coubling and tripling quotations Ieven if they then offer a price match I won'...
