You know with the plywood, wouldnt they be able to feel it as they sit down??

I really feel for you, i can imagine you sat there while they sat on your lovely sofas secretly shouting at them to get off lol!!

To be honest i don't care if they can feel it i'm on the verge of telling them they'll have to sit on the floor, it'll probably be another year before we see them so i don't care

I'd be inclined to hide the lovely new sofas, say there was a mix up with the delivery dates and that I'm sofa-less for a few days!

I don't envy you pukkamum. Obese, sweaty outlaws only coming to visit as they want to go shopping.
I have a so called friend who offered to call in on her way to visit someone else. Told her not to bother. When I visit friends or relatives it's because I want to see them, not because they are a convenient stop along the way.

My remedy was to be move the old stuff in, but you say the council are taking it.

I've often wondered how people of that size keep themselves clean, after the loo for instance. After all, as one gets fatter, the arms don't get longer to reach around do they? Or is that information overload?

oh mutter honestly they are minging, i know that sounds like an awful thing to say but they smell and look dreadful.:(
MIL told me years ago the eldest was too frightened to get in the bath in case it went through the floor so i can't imagine she has bathed since:(

And another thing i hate seeing them eat it makes me feel ill truly.
They shovel the food down and as they struggle with breathing due to their size they grunt as they eat:eek:

It's DH i feel most sorry for as he hates seeing his family in that way and feels dreadful for being ashamed of them but he is.

outdoor BBQ under one of those marquee gazebo type thingamies (brains not with it today).

Couple of desk fans run from an outdoor extension lead.

last possibilities (mean that i am) - trail of food leading to someone elses house or make your front door narrower

This seems to have turned from a "I'm concerned about my sofas" thread into a blatant fat-bashing thread. Are you as ungracious to their faces as you are behind their backs?

Just change the sofas over if you're worried.

Just don't answer the door when they turn up! Lights off, silence etc etc!

mrcow i have to agree i was releuctant(ish) to post the mean aspect of what i wrote but there is a point between getting a bit porky and "breaking furniture" weight.

The OP has indicated that the DH is not like this. This would tend to suggest the problem is not "medical" but more than the top hole is larger than the bottom hole and as such does leave you open to be a figure of fun (for better or worse).

Anyway most of my post was a genuine suggestion that keeping them outside, fed and watered with sun protection / cooling should solve the issue.

You could say that you've had the carpets cleaned and they're still wet so you can't use the living room.

Other than that, I'm afraid I'd go for the brutally honest approach. "You broke my last sofa and as these are brand new, I'd rather you didn't sit on them. I'm sure you understand."
