So post heart attack, my mum decided to drive at 90mph to catch a train , for me to pick her up, to go and look at an essential new chair in Edinburgh ...
Dutifully I did and how embarrassing it was to witness.
A chair
Not too high not too low
High back but not too high
Wide arms so the cat can sit on them and be fed messy cat treats
In linen which will not soil or be ripped by said cat
No, actually pink velvet, which will piss off her husband ‘good’
With adjustable castors in a nice colour not too dark, or light
Not too heavy so can be moved to angle with the tv
Not too light as that would be flimsy
Feminine
But slightly masculine
Matching cushions or contrast
Matching footstool or contrast, both. At the same time
To be delivered in a maximum of a week ‘ I’ve had a heart attack’ although the lead is minimum 12 weeks during a global pandemic
In fact. Just a chair like her favourite chair which is fine and so comfy and lovely colour but just has a dirty arm, from the cat treats

The cost, a snip £2500
Vanish? I suggested £2.99

My mother, she never changes

Infuriating!

And she didn’t pay for lunch as money was a bit tight.
