    Hi guys
    We had new furniture when we had a flat renovated but as DS2 had just bought a house we moved in with him while it was being done. Then left our old stuff for him. DS1 also had some bits so nothing wasted just moved on.

    The sofa I’m sitting on right now is the one my parents bought in the early eighties. Occasion-ally I would stay over at theirs and sleep on it. At some point they paid a fortune to have it re-upholstered and it really did look as good as new. 

    They’ve been gone fifteen years now and it’s still very serviceable, and, very occasionally I do still sleep on it!

    would've . . . could've . . . should've . . .
