Rosie, I think if it were me, I'd follow kidkruger's advice - he seems to have hit the nail on the head:

>>>>Get rid of it snd say you lost it.

Get rid of it and say you we're 'burgled'.

Get rid of it then before end of tenancy replace it with a sofa 2nd hand from EDF of equal quality (you'll likely be able to get better quality) quite cheaply. You can say something like a friend weed on it - something which writes-off the landlord wanting to keep it but shows you've resolved/improved his sofa situation.

Surely you left the window open while you were making tea in the other room, and a fox got in and shat on the sofa? No sane* person would ever want a sofa after that. You had no choice but to replace it out of the kindness of your heart, obviously.

*Of course this plot hinges on your landlord being sane...

Or get rid of it and live there until you die.

Tell your landlord it is haunted - you had it exorcised and everything but it had to go.

[csaddleton]

oooooh good one !

[reeko]

Thankyou csaddleton, I also thought your suggestion was excellent, however I was left with a nagging feeling that I too will die in my one bed flat, sitting on my ever uncomfortable sofa that I have never gotten around to changing.

[csaddleton]

damn, i am thinking that now too, oh crap.

[reeko]

Quick, lets swap sofas

Jesus, when my decomposing, cat-eaten corpse (they break in you know) is found seeping into the covers, he's not going to want it back anyway...

Fizzy cola bottles cannot quench my existential angst.

Actually, I'm not sure anything can quench an angst, especially not these little cocknballs-shaped haribo.

that's alot of effort with zero reward i'm guessing...

A-ha thats were you are wrong. If all three of us swapped sofas then we could die alone on someone else's sofa, not nearly as bad as the alternative - at least we tried to change things
