22 October - Sofa so Good

It may be one of my cheapest items of furniture I ever purchased (£240) but I can recommend the XXX sofa from the Pier. It took a while to persuade Toph that this would do for now (he was busy looking at £1500plus from Habitat and I'm like 'no no no, this one costs less than a pair of shoes, let's try it, we chuck it in a few months if it doesn't work'.

Turns out that the colour is a perfect match for the carpet and hence blends in, makes room bigger blah blah, but it's also very comfortable and firm. As firm as my boy who took no time in finally realising why I wanted a sofa with no awkward armrests or cushions and long enough to lie on it horizontally. Just as well that I'm practical enough to come sit down armed with convenient throw that saved new upholstery from some tell tell stains. Yes, too much information but if you're ever a guest over having tea and a cake, think of us and our new prop. Couldn't find the remote to turn the news off though, must admit that was slight drawback to concentration.
