Things you find down the back of your sofa.

What have you found in your sofa?. I replaced my old sofa a while back, after 17 years faithful service. When I took it apart I found:
About £37 in loose change.
13 assorted Biros
5 pairs of odd socks.
A slice of dried corned beef(?!)
A CD of Status Quo
and a lot of sweet wrappers...
What have you found?

Me and a friend took a sofa out to be burnt in the back garden, we found about £7 in change, rather more surprisingly we found 18 clipper lighters. It was an old sofa.

The corned beef amused me - surely you'd notice if that fell out your sarnie?

Found money and a few bits like biros etc but nothing major.

Speaker wire and the odd bouncy ball, I pull it out and clean behind it weekly.

Bought an old settee from a charity shop a few years ago and found something similar to this stuffed down the side ..

The only thing down the back of my sofa is fluff. Seriously though, the seat in my sofa are in one lump, so the seat and the back are joined. Therefore, nowt can go down the back.

In the sofa - hair bobble
the cat's laser pens
xbox controller on many occasions

under the sofa is my drawing board and some A3 paper and some of the cat's toys

behind the sofa is an old Haines manual and a picture that needs putting up but we have no picture hooks

Under the other sofa is a shelf that needs putting up, a poster tube with all my old posters in and some more of the cat's toys.

My house is pretty tidy we just don't have anywhere to store all the stuff under/behind the sofa.

Down the back of our sofa is absolutely minging, you can't remove the cushions and the kids have knackered the leather up. I'm seriously considering buying a new one instead of cleaning it lol.

Last time I had a look it was full of crushed crisps, bobbles, spoons and Lego, we're missing a couple of remote controls too so I'm sure there is at least one down there.

At my parents house their sofa always harbours peanuts.

I used to hate that as i hate the smell taste and feel of peanuts!

Our sofa has bits of dog toys and remote controls.
