R to @bear_roar: They’re Argos but they’re identical to IKEA Billy bookcases - I’ve had them years and moved them house several times, I’m amazed they’re still going to be honest! This is a great tip, thankyou!

R to @pauline_a_d: My ex partners dad found them in a tiny book cubby at a train station with an honesty box asking for a small donation for each book… he ended up asking fellow passengers if they had any bags for life so I could have the lot! Think they were £1 each - and it’s the full set! 😍

R to @_captainscience: Me too. I did a job for a friend ages ago and refused to let her pay me for it…so she sent me two sets of these as payment in kind as she knew I’d lusted after them for YEARS. People are amazing 🤩

R to @BootstrapCook: (Although less enjoyable: some troll spotting them in the background of a pic and telling everyone they were WALLPAPER at £116/roll 🤣 Of course that’s become an Immutable Fact In The Villain Narrative now. My non-existent thousands of pounds of invisible wallpaper 🥲)

R to @BootstrapCook: PS for the trolls blathering about how I can possibly afford paint:

1 - I’m not paying for it, it’s a mutual exchange of services between two friends.

2 - I’ve been in full time work for the best part of 2 decades.

3 - Seriously, get a life and get your nose out of mine.

R to @BootstrapCook: I’ve been decluttering for months and have given a LOT of good furniture/appliances away to friends and acquaintances.

I gave up my bed to sleep on the couch in September as part of Mentally Preparing To Downsize, and said to a v good friend that ‘it’s fine, I’m single, and that’s not changing anytime soon. Ain’t nobody sharing my bed anyway, what do I need the extra space for?’

R to @BootstrapCook: (Our childhood cats, Sooty and Sasha, were a bonded pair and they slept just like this 🥲 I think the ones before them, Becky and Sprocket, were too! They’d hold each other’s feet like bumblebees 🥹)
