I have a really old couch in amazing shape it's a bit out of style but so comfortable so it has to stay a little while longer...where as the ones we sit on daily need replacing but comfort is the only way to go...and not going to get pillows on it either... big mistake... But hey it was affordable at the time, comfy and PURPLE.....how could I resist...it said my name when it saw me....I swear! I can take ten years to pick a couch...but I knows it when I sees it!! lol<br /><br />Hugs Giggles Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402833299860787322.post-59990556473630473242014-02-22T22:02:59.485-08:002014-02-22T22:02:59.485-08:00Oh dear.

(Btw my parents had a couch that was made by a colleague of theirs. It was basically a slab of wood with a very thin cushion on it. But you couldn't tell by looking at it - it looked comfy, but then when you sat down, HARD, you got a nasty surprise :) ) We/they had that couch for 30 years…)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501940398175625037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402833299860787322.post-50654256510729969132014-02-22T13:39:43.400-08:002014-02-22T13:39:43.400-08:00I am submitting your idea to the Olympic Committee...I am submitting your idea to the Olympic Committee today, Ann.
