A WOMAN who thought she could move her sofa alone had to be rescued by firefighters when she got stuck under it - for 90 MINUTES.
Sara Aziz, 30, decided to shift the couch down her stairs on her own but slipped in the silver glitter Crocs she was wearing.

The PA was left pinned under the heavy L-shaped seat and was forced to call 999 and plead for firefighters to cut her free.
Sara said: "I thought 'You know what? I can do this, I'm an adult, I don't need no man, girl power' kind of thing.
"One minute I was up and the next minute I was down. I fell on my back, which hurt, and because the sofa was too low down I couldn't get back up again.
"I had my phone in my bra. I had to do the most embarrassing thing in the world and call the fire brigade, I was stuck for 90 minutes.
"The firemen were very handsome but I was lying there looking like a slug so I don't think I looked as good."
Sara was moving the corner sofa from the first-floor to the ground-floor of her maisonette in Colchester, Essex, on Tuesday August 22 after buying a new one.
She initially slipped, then as she tried to correct herself got stuck under the end of the sofa, back-down at the foot of her staircase.
Sara called her dad and initially planned to wait for him to come and save her.

But because he was busy shopping she waited more than an hour before deciding she needed urgent help. It was then she called in firefighters.
The second-hand sofa, picked up on Facebook last year, is now chopped up in Sara's garden awaiting skip collection.
Sara, who still wears her Crocs daily, added: "I was wearing my silver, glittery Crocs at the time, they're one of my favourite kinds of shoes to wear.
"I still love my Crocs, I wear them daily. But I've learned not to lift a sofa by myself and wear more secure shoes on the stairs especially when lifting."
An Essex County Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Crews worked to dismantle the sofa using small tools and rescued the woman."
