After decades of daily use, our old couch cushions finally disintegrated to the point where they barely stay up. We decided to turn our guest room into a den, get rid of the old guest bed and move the old sofa into it (it's a sofa sleeper so guests will still be able to spend the night!). We're buying an internet ready tv with built-in apps like YouTube and Skype, so we can watch internet videos easily and Skype with family without having to crowd around a laptop.
If you've got an old couch that has seen better days (translation: you're dying to dump it but can't afford a new couch), join Skype's Cool My Couch contest -- just snap a photo of your old couch, and you could win a Skype-ready Smart TV and $1000 towards a new couch! This is Skype's second Cool My Couch contest -- the first one was such a success, they decided to run it again.
To celebrate the launch of Cool My Couch (v2), Skype has given me a fun goodie bag to give to one of my readers! One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will receive:
1 x digital photo frame
5 x Skype onesies (various sizes)
1 x Skype pet hoodie

My couch disaster story was when my French Bulldog Charlie (R.I.P) came to my house. The first day that little minion was here, he chewed up the arm rest. Completely destroyed it. Our current couch is a hand me down from my folks and has seen better days.

ReplyDeleteI inherited a couch for my first apartment when I was in college. I have no idea where it came from or how many previous owners it had had, but maaaann...that thing was UG.LY.! It was sort of comfortable, but the cushions sagged. I had to use cushion supports under them to keep from sinking into it!

ReplyDeleteMommy couch disaster story is actually my sisters. They got rid of their old couch by placing it at the curb, and waited for trash pick up. We'll a couple nights later they. Notice it's on fire. Someone driving by had tossed a cigarette and it caught on fire
