What You’re Missing: “... I mean – a creepy porcelain doll holding a tiny bible that I have propped up on the toilet cistern type of kitsch …” 

If there’s one thing that officially makes you feel like an adult, it’s going in to buy a sofa with your partner. Christian and I have just moved into a new place together, so we’re slowly starting to build up the essentials we need in it, like a game of The Sims, except the money is real, takes ages to accumulate – and if you put your baby in the oven it has real world, legal consequences. We needed a sofa (check), a rug (not found one we like yet), a wardrobe (can’t afford one at the moment) etc. But the sofa felt like the important one – the item that really make it official.
