I've been checking that kind of stuff online, Janet, and might take that route. It will still be early January before I can actually purchase anything though because I have to pay some costs for these trips up front, then wait until the end of the week to turn in an expense report, then it could take 10 days before the money actually gets to me. So that's really a 3 week wait. I did have a couple of hundred "extra" but I spent that on clothes and buying dressers for bedrooms and having them delivered- getting clothes in drawers was a priority too and this guy on CL was selling and delivering so I thought that was a deal I couldn't beat. I'll be in a better position once January rolls around- if my boss doesn't demand that I get a CC (meaning it will have to be prepaid) in January. He doesn't know I'm sleeping on an air mattress at home although that's really because he doesn't think thru stuff enough to put together that I came here with no large furniture and am using every payday to catch up so how the koi could I buy large furniture right now? Then, the fact that I have to make it thru half of Dec. with only four days pay-unexpectedly- just put all of it behind.
I did look at wally-world's platform beds online and that doesn't look too bad. I have to think about cost to get it picked up at the store and delivered to my house though. I'm hoping this guy I'm working with might know somebody who'd do that sort of stuff pretty cheap. $20 instead of $50 or $75. I only live 1 1/2 mile from wally-world.
