Think the 25 something year old fabric just gave out.
What a good idea. Antimacassars. Such a perfect word.
The Halloween party was very well behaved. It did leave me thoughtful though. If your child is brought up with so much self confidence that they speak like a pompous adult, have you done them a disservice?0 -
Glad it went well, other peoples children can be so "entertaining" sometimes :rotfl:MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0

Morning, I believe it's a parents job to bring up confident and capable people but that doesn't mean being pompous and parroting adults.
I have seen so many young people who are rude, 'mouthy' and frankly obnoxious. God help them in the future.
Antimacassars could be a solution but they do tend to slip off, which may equally frustrating
Have a good day.

Ha ha entertaining is right!
If I felt equal to the airing cupboard I think I have some of those from the brown sofa. You can get little spiral pins to hold them on!
I am developing a bee in my bonnet about early retirement and decluttering.
Two bags (one of toys one of books) have gone to charity shop.
I am not doing very well with my spending diary though.

How about a rug/throw/blanket artistically draped over sofa arm? And you can wrap up in it to save on heating later in the year?
Once dyed a dust sheet to cover a sofa and with a bit of artistic draping and tucking it worked a treat!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
That is a good idea although the children will have made it into a tent in 30s flat...0
