Home Office Study Furniture

I want to reavamp my daughter's room so that is is suitable for her as a sophisticated retreat when she comes home from university. As she is studying medicine, she will be a student for years to come and needs a room where she can work as well as sleep. I can't find a UK supplier that can provide wardrobes/desks etc all in the same range. Any ideas?

MFI do a range of bedroom furniture with matching office furniture. I've just had someone in to build me what I want. No dearer than buying it flat pack from a shop.

Fitted home office setup including curved corner desk, straight desk, desk height pedestal, infill desk, storage cupboard and bookcase with glass ...

I am looking for just 1 item. A wooden stationary cupboard to tidy up my little home study.I need somewhere in Gloucestershire really. Any ideas?

Check your local newspaper to see when there are any office furniture sales coming up. An auction is the cheapest way to buy one. My friend recently bought a wooden 5 draw desk and a 4`6" high 4 draw metal filing cabinet at an auction for £.4.50+VAT.

My ex stepfather took over one of my mothers business's and she signed the lease of the other one over to him, but just so he could the space not the business or the property.
I went into the office and took her furniture home with me. Unknown to me he had promised my mums furniture to the new lady he had hired. Now the business that was in that particular office is still in mothers name, the ABN is still in her name and everything. Howver she is overseas so I am having to deal with all the bullshit. So this lady whom my ex stepfather hired has filed a complaint with the Police and she is trying to charge me.
Legally the furniture wasnt hers in the first place, because it was never my ex stepfathers to give away right?
So the Dt. told me to go down and talk to her myself and see if we can get this sorted. I am hapy to give her the cabinet and the bookshelf however I dont want to give her the desk, I have grown very attatched to it, i studied to my VCE on it, Ive had sex on it and I worked at that desk for 4 years.
So how would I write a contract stating that if I give her the cabinet and bookshelf but keep my desk that she leaves me alone and drops the complaint and never tries to charge me with anything in future. I dont want any loopholes.
Please help! I am only 20 and I cant afford a lawyer.
My mother gave me permission to take the furniture from the office, she told me I could keep it and use it for my studies.

You cannot make a contract with her because the furniture is not yours to give. Your mother must make the contract. And actually, you shouldn't be able to take the desk either. You will have to wait for mama to get home to sort this one out. Neither you nor the lady your stepdad hired are legally entitled to any of it. Neither of you have "lawful object": the right to sell, contract or dispose of the furniture.

Your mother obviously did not have a solid contract with your stepfather either; otherwise, the disposition of the furniture would have been clear in the contract between Mom and Stepdad. Once they get that sorted out in writing, they can decide who gets what. You, of all people, have nothing to do with it!

Hi Ammas I am a 27 year old woman. I was married three years ago and I have a 5 month old daughter. My marriage is on rocks so please advice and help me. I lost my father during my graduation. My mother and I faced many hardships after that – money problems and pressure from relatives. With gods grace and my mothers blessings I completed my PG. I have a brother who is 2 years elder to me. He was not gud at studies and was still graduating and doing a small job when my dad left us. After my dad passed away he left his job and was idle for 5 years. Those five years he tortured my mother and me. He thought he is the master of the family and we shud listen to him and act accordingly. He would use bad language whenever there is an argument. He had problem with my PG becoz it involved lot of money – hefty fees, hostel expenses etc. He wanted a/c for each penny my mom spent. He used to just loiter around, hangout with friends and do some networking courses. Me and my bro had heated arguments often and my mom used to suffer a lot of emotional pain. After my PG I got married and got a good job. First year was marvelous. We had lot of love for each other and enjoyed life though there were tiny disputes. In the second year my bro and mother came to stay with us becoz my brother was looking for a job in our city and they were financially weak. I used to help them financially and my husband never complained. Looking at my lazy brother my husband started behaving like him. He stopped helping me in daily chores. My bro used to make a mess at home leaving things here and there. If I said anything he wud blow up the issue. He wud say the food isn’t tasty, why don’t you cook more items? Why this curry today? etc etc. We had arguments every other day. I used to tell him that I will manage my home in my own way. I used to tell my husband be on my side in these arguments. Explain my brother not to hurt me with words and warn him but he always kept quiet and never interrupted us. Since I didn’t have my husbands support there was no one to stop my brother. I used to cry a lot and suffered lot of emotional pain. My relationship with my husband was getting affected due to this. We used to argue over in-laws or on when to have kids. Since I was already upset becoz of my bro I used to shout on my husband. I never fought with him unnecessarily or without a reason. My husband used to be cool and never lost his temper. My husband lost his job. He blamed me for losing it. He says he cud not work efficiently becoz of our fights. Third year me and my husband moved to another city. We both have good jobs now but things have changed a lot and are becoming worse day by day. All hell broke loose on me since the day we shifted here. I got pregnant. My husband was not prepared for a child. He was not very happy but agreed for a child becoz I was desperate. We bought a 3BHK flat on loans since we both were earning. Now our incomes are just enough to run the household. There are no savings at all. There is no money for fun or enjoyment. My husband has changed a lot. He never took care of me when I was pregnant. He stopped giving me his salary for maintaining the house. Two thirds of his salary goes away for the home loan EMI. Rest he hides. I have to tell him what I did with my money. I have to show him my bank statements. He has stopped helping. He has become very insensitive. He is just not bothered abt anything. I have to do everything - buying grocery & fruits, shopping for the kid, paying all bills, buying home furniture etc etc. He just gets up in the morning , has his breakfast and goes to office. Comes back watches tv and eats dinner and sleep. Max he will take me to the nearby grocery store. He will be in the car while I go shop everything. I manage both work and home. He does not even play with my daughter. He wanted a son so he is indifferent towards my child. Even my in laws wanted a grandson. My MIL has no problem but my FIL does not love my child. All of these people are well educated but they still have this gender bias. My husband has stopped talking to me. He will open his mouth only to blame me for something or to tell me a work. He does not love me at all. Post my delivery I have developed back ache. I keep crying of pain but he stays cold. He will hold my child for 10 mins after coming home and just does some time pass. Later he sticks to his tv. I take care of the child and cook dinner side by side. If I tell him to do anything he will either forget or he is busy. He will call his relatives & talk to them (complaints abt me) often OR he will buy air tickets on net for his brothers family but he has no time for us. Of late when we argue he has started beating me and using foul language. He says if you are not happy leave me and go. I have no clue why he has changed drastically. He says u have made me like this. I am very sad & depressed. I get up at 5 take care of my daughters needs, cook & and go to office. I come back at 7 cook again and play a while with my child. I am always tired becoz of the huge task list and stress. I am fed up of my life now. I don’t want to divorce him. I don’t have my family support. My bro is useless and my mother cannot help me. She has come to know of the changed behaviour of my husband and she pities me. I don’t want the social stigma of being a divorcee. I had a wonderful father and I don’t want my child to feel fatherless. My in laws know everything but they never blame their son. When ever I tell my problem to them they ask me to adjust and compromise. They don’t say a word to their son. I have a good MIL who understands me but my husband does not listen to anybody in this world. I have tried everything. I have spoken, requested, cajoled him. Nothing worked. I have even tried ignoring him & not talking to him but he irritates me for something or the other and the fight begins. Or he will start with a reason. I want to improve my relationship with my husband. Please help

I hate to tell you what you don't wan to hear, but you need to leave this man. He's obviously only hanging around because he's grown accustomed to the marriage, doesn't want to pay child support, wants you to support him (cooking/cleaning), and/or enjoys seeing you in pain. If this man beats you, even if (so far) it's only been once, STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT HE COULD DO TO YOUR CHILD!!! Your baby is completely defenseless in this world and extremely vulnerable. You may not think he's capable of hurting your child, but if he's ignoring her, and snaps so easily, he could hurt her in the blink of an eye, even KILLING HER!!! Who cares if you can't get help from your family??? Who cares if you don't want to be a divorcee???
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A SINGLE MOTHER ***OR*** YOUR CHILD GROWING UP MOTHERLESS OR YOU ATTENDING HER FUNERAL??????
I know I may sound a bit harsh to your situation, but I care. I really, really do...

GET OUT NOW!!!!!!
