When I say new I mean new to me, it would be second hand.
When I moved into my flat I bought a leather sofa so I could wipe DDog's muddy paw prints off and brush her fur off it easily. I soon realised that it was great for her but not for me. It is comfy but cold when it's cold and I stick to it when hot. It's always had throws over it which I can chuck in the wash when needs be.
My gorgeous girl passed away last year. Last weekend I realised - as I pulled the throw back into place for the zillionth time - that I bought the sofa for her not me. And - while comfy - it really annoys me that I have to "make the sofa" each time I sit on it. And, the throws make it look like student digs rather than a grown up's home. I decided it was time to replace it and have been looking on ebay and FB marketplace and have found one I like for £100.
The thing is - £100 is a lot of money to me and with prices of everything rising it feels extravagant to spend this when I have a perfectly functional sofa already. So, do I spend the money (which I have saved in my piggy bank!) or stick with the one I have? WWYD?
PS - if I do get a new sofa I will get a charity shop to take my current one so it will be recycled and not go to waste.
