    I can't play either - the cushions on my suite are kind of 'attached' so stuff doesn't go down the back :(

    Went out for a meal with other half last weekend, when we finished we went to a bar and sat on their posh leather sofa for a drink! Anyway, OH's car keys fell out his pocket down the back of the sofa, he pulled the cushion forward and found £7.00 in pound coins! It covered our taxi home!:beer:

    Result!
    1st 7lb off, 1st 7lb to go! 27/06/08
    and about £20k to go to!!!
  • Nothing at all. The oh must have been looking while I was at work.

    Stuff is always falling inside our sofa, in fact we recently had to cut a small hole in the underside of it when we realised hubby had lost £4 down there!

    As well as the £4, we found another £3.02, a lipstick, 2 pens, a chocolate eclair (the chewy toffee sort, not a cream cake:)), a sonic screwdriver :rolleyes:, a sharp bit of plastic (ouch) and a silver magnetix ball (possibly some other stuff too, but I can't remember).

    Must do it again some day soon!
