As good as settled in ...

After terribly neglecting furnishing our new appartment since we moved in, after we came back from Colorado it seems we finally more or less completed that. Last weekend we found a dining set we were content with, added bookshelves and put together a TV stand, whereas the weekend before I had been lucky enough to come upon a desk that fit into my study room. And, we got this fabulous set of german knives as a pending wedding present from H.
Otherwise, just about everything we go sofar was either on sale or second hand. That saved us a lot of money. I didn't actually think we would be able to do this without resorting to credit, on our tight budget, but it all worked out finally.
So, we paid 60 bucks for a chair with chair and a hutch, 200 for a solid wood dining set, and our Pier 1 bookcases were probably the only thing we acquired full price!
We even had a dinner guest last weekend! H came up from Escondido where he's been working for a couple of weeks.
Oh, we still didn't find a TV set though. C is getting a bit anxious about that. After all, we haven't had TV now for two months. Oh, well ...
