Yesterday I had a really nice visit from two of my Brothers and they stayed for a few hours which really helped lift me out of the darkness for a while but whilst they were here one of my Bro's sat back a bit too hard and the sofa back just collapsed, no one got hurt thankfully. The sofa is a right off, today I took the dust sheet off the bottom of the sofa to see if I could rescue the sofa and discovered it was riddled with active woodworm, out in the garden it went, the back collapsed because the woodworm have eaten so much of the wood.

Great, I managed by the skin of my teeth to get that sofa a couple of weeks ago from a chap in the village and it only cost me a tenner, now I know why it was so cheap. Ain't a chance in hell I can afford a new sofa and here I am back with no sofa again, I really didn't need this added stress.

Seriously gutted.

Sorry to hear that. That's always the danger with secondhand furniture. Is there a charity near you that you could get another from. Can woodworm spread from one thing to another? Maybe you need to spray or put some powder down. I'm sure someone will know.

in unversity I built one out of a mattress, discarded palletts and some throw pillows.

Pallet couches are wonderful but... every single pallet is so heavy! Think about that if you build from pallets. Getting my pallets I was almost passing out by all the carrying. It was horrid.

I hope you can find a suitable replacement soon. Keep your eyes peeled----it's Spring now, and I'm sure there will be good candidates showing up all around at shops and stores, very soon.
