Finally, dilemma's over, I resolve to an optimum solution to fill up my living room - IKEA's Klippan couch (perhaps even only at half the price, second hand). Denmark has a rather comprehensive second hand resell website which pretty much covers everything from household items to cars, wines. One can even get free stuff...old B&W TV, free soil, waste wood, anyone?
Initially was thinking of buying a new couch but since a 2years old second hand identical IKEA couch only cost me about half the price (I have to buy new couch cover which adds up the price), why not? However, the purchase will be on hold until I come back from a week's holiday in Berlin. Hopefully the couch is still available when I come back.
Received 'donation' of a 14" TV (I know, I know...the size! but it's donated, I couldn't ask for more). Probably should opt for something else in a longer term - 40" flat screen HD TV maybe?? Just kidding. Also received a 3G wireless modem on loan (for 2 weeks) until I get my own Internet setup in the new apartment.
So I'm moving in officially! Been driving & enjoying the Audi (despite my lousy skill) since last Thursday (to & fro some furniture shop etc)...now that I have to leave company house (which also means leaving the car), somehow I feel rather reluctant, sob sob...
Anyway, I really like the new apartment...maybe because I finally have a place of my own where I can call 'home' (temporarily) in a foreign country. Again, no pictures until I get the couch, which means most probably 2 weeks after this post. Stay tuned.

I love free stuff! Yay for you for making good decisions and getting a "home".
Thank you :D
Unfortunately there's nothing in the 'free' category that fits my current need, anyway, I'm glad enough to get half-priced stuff, lol...
