During one of my sortouts I discovered this hideous cushion that had been a Christmas present a few years ago. I'd completely forgotten about it, due to it being horrible and because it doesn't "go" with anything at all in our house. The cushion pad was easy to reuse.

I am a rather chunky human, but I didn't even nearly put my whole weight on it. Boy 1 has my second kindle as I now have a ... Read the Post...
