I had a look on eBay for tables near me and bid on this one. It's apparently 5 foot and can seat 6 (and apparently the crooked leg at the back is only because they didn't want to screw them all in for the pics):
Guess how much I won the auction for. Go on, have a guess.
99 pence. That's practically free!!
I hope to collect it (it's 5.6 miles away) sometime this week. I'll pay for it on collection; I'll probably give the seller £1 and tell them to keep the change. I'm generous like that.
I will probably finish it to match my desk. If it turns out anything like my desk I might end up loving it enough to tote it halfway across the world with us! Woohoo, here's to projects and bargains!
