Hi Andy.
The last time I went sofa shopping was on 2nd Jan 2011 which was the day before I fell down the stairs on a 92 double decker bus stopping suddenly on Wesminster Bridge with my grandchild in tow and ended up having shoulder surgery on the 9th Nov 2011! In fact, the accident happened an hour after I'd met up with SteveP! I remember that day well. All around this time last year.
I think I'll avoid sofa shopping. But then again, does lightening strike twice?
Hmmm, I think I'll give it a miss as my shoulder says NO!
If I do summon up the courage, it will either be Harrods (Arabs) Sale or John Lewis.
Wish me luck.

Hello Asker, I'm sure you'll be fine this time round - just get a taxi instead of the bus!!

To the DFS haters, our current sofa is one of theirs, it is about seven years old and still in fine condition considering my two kids have more or less grown up with it. It only suffered the arm injury thanks to it being moved to fit the Christmas tree in the room. And the arm isn't actually broken, the leather had just gone a bit thin and cracked where it was whacked with a wii controller at high speed. It is more unsightly than ruined and thus an excuse for wifey to demand a new one.
I've been more than happy with the current sofa so am more than willing to give them another go, but I'm open to all options and suggestions.
All the advice has been taken on board and digested, thanks everybody!
Now, has anyone actually managed to get any extra money off out of DFS?
