Well, one of 'em is Marna & Sean's (so I'm guessing they'll be happy to lend); the other belongs to my parents, so I'll need to check with them. But I can't imagine they'll mind. Do you also want to borrow paper-strippers/wallpaper-putting-up-stuff? And we may also have paint-kit available to borrow if we're all done by then (hrm, this last may be optimistic :-) ).

Yep, definitely please want the futon - can take it off your hands on the 18th, hopefully? That's when we plan to move in. Certainly will need it by Christmas Eve.
