Like my sofa but without green splodges.
Last year I bought a sofa from DFS.
I say bought, but I guess if I’m totally honest, I’ve actually borrowed it. You see I got it on one of their buy now and pay nothing for 12 months deal.
I thought this was the perfect way to get the sofa I wanted before Christmas and with a whole 12 months to save up I’d be able to pay it all off in one go.
My idea has almost worked, I did get the sofa I wanted but so far I’ve saved exactly £0.00 towards the cost. Hmmm…something’s gone wrong here.
Because I’ve got it in my head that it’s borrowed until I pay in October, I’m paranoid about the kids eating on it, sitting on it or even just being near it. Once it’s paid for, they can do what they like, but for the time being they have strict instructions to stay away with anything that resembles food or liquid.
Up until now it’s all gone to plan, until this morning. Sitting there on one of my luxurious chocolate brown, memory foam, chenille sofa cushions was a glistening, sticky trail of snot! And there was another on the arm, and another on the matching cushion. It looked like a family of slugs had broken in during the night and spent a few hours crawling over the settee. What was going on!!!!
It was then that I was aware of a very small person standing behind me. I looked down and recieved a big grin topped by a lurid green layer of thick mucus. ‘Ma!’ he shouted as he clambered up onto sofa using the most ingenious method of pressing his face into the sofa, swinging his body and legs up and then deftly wiping his snot encrusted nose all over the cushion cover as he bought himself upright.
And there he sat, not a drop of snot on his face because it was ALL OVER MY SOFA!
ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!! The first week we had our new sofa DD threw up yogurt all over it and DH fell asleep with a glass of red wine on it, which of course ended up all over it …I may have cried a bit! LOL! Good luck getting the snot out
Thanks! Thank goodness I paid extra to get it scotchguarded!
Hysterical! I know this method of climbing! Little Miss does it all the time. Unfortunately, we don’t have a nice sofa so I don’t have to worry. I’ve had the same thoughts about a DFS plan. I keep trying to convince Hubby but he’s not falling for it! Damn.
Great post and great site. Thanks for visiting and promoting mine as well.

The DFS thing is a fab idea and you don’t even have to go in the shop anymore, I did it all online!!
