I couldn't believe it when i received a message on Instagram the other day from Sestra Living to tell me I had won a two-seater sofa! I am over the moon as I really needed a new sofa and wasn't going to be able to afford one anytime soon! I even got to choose the colour! I will be sure to share a picture when it arrives

Thanks to everyone who posts!
