Something Old, Something New

My experience of SOSN is coming home to new furniture. Let me explain:
Moving into an unfurnished flat was a daunting prospect but luckily the fresh-​on-​the-​scene Something Old, Something New offered cheap second-​hand furniture, all in aid of Parkinson’s.
I was working when my flatmates went to have a peek at what was available and I was also out when the chosen furniture was delivered. I trusted my roomies’ judgement and chipped in my third of the cost. For what I payed, I’m delighted with what we got: a mega, mega bargain of a dining table, four chairs and a three-​piece sofa for £150! — My flat has furniture and I am not flat out skint as a result. And the money went to a great cause.
The one comment my flatmates made was that the two men who delivered required a lot of assistance since they were a little older. But delivery is free and carried out by volunteers; you really can’t complain.
I really, really can’t wait to visit the SOSN unit and see more of what they’ve got to offer, but at the moment I’m sitting on my new couch and grateful that my flat is all the more homely for it.
