We bought a new sofa and book cases from ikea. A high priced computer desk from Argos (mistake took hours to put up and seems cheap and nasty) cheap TV stand and fabric wardrobe form argos (easy to put up and looks good). The rest is mainly donated from family and bought via e-bay. Still looking for small bits but we can take our time we have everything we need.

How I did it
How I did it: I used the web site to book an appointment. I'd recommend phoning instead as there was some kind of mix up and I was sent appointments over a hundred miles away as my local session was full. I sorted this out on the phone but could have been donating again months ago. Read how I did it…
