P. finally got hold of the seller’s daughter, who quoted very reasonable prices for the furniture that I wanted. The fridge is gone–went to someone whose fridge died–but I found a reasonably priced SS one that P. likes, and I think we should get a SS stove to go with it. I’ll apply for a Sears card, then I get no interest if paid within 12 months, which is totally doable. Tomorrow is toast–we’ll be at A. and K.’s from 1600 on–but at least we have something to celebrate!
