I’m in IKEA
Not a good idea as it’s nose to nipple in here
I’ve driven a friend to a funeral outside Warrington and will pick them up after the “ do” after the service.
Now I’m eating Schnitzel
IKEA does nice Schnitzel and coffee.
I’ve bought German sausages for the dogs , several house plants and a chair .
Not much else to report until I’m home
Schnitzel would ALMOST make it fun to be in IKEA.
ReplyDeleteBeware the chair! We bought an Ikea wing chair and it didn't fit in our car. Had to call our son-in-law who thankfully had a van at the time. He still reminds us of it hehe x
ReplyDeleteI feel anxious when the name is mentioned - I browsed and eventially purchased stylish units - but I regret my visit companion x ☕ 🛋
ReplyDeleteWhat's a visit companion, someone you went there with? Why the regret, weren't they a nice person?
DeleteAre you a nice person lady ?
Delete"Nose to nipple" -- LOL!
ReplyDeleteLike ''blue tits''! Gleeful! John adores his schoolboy humor.
DeleteNew bird and new phrase for me - always something to learn! Ta, John.
DeleteHugs!
It was a saying for my mother
DeleteWhen I get anything from Ikea, ( which is most of my furniture in my flat) I get it delivered, no probs.( I don't drive)
ReplyDeleteLiving so far away , the delivery not as easy
DeleteIKEA delivery here costs more than the furniture.
DeleteIKEA is a dangerous place to go. Today will be an expensive day. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty good .last time I went for a rug and came back with a sofa
DeleteI have dear friend who not allowed in IKEA without adult supervision. I love the place.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go around on my own
DeleteI love IKEA! How will you get the chair home?
ReplyDelete2 And they folded
DeleteThe last time I went to IKEA there was a man wandering round asking how to get out. He could still be wandering around - that was at the Warrington store. Maybe you saw him?😂 Will we get a photo of the chair? xx
ReplyDeleteAww poor man. Surely you could have done the charitable thing and shown him the way out.
DeleteI think you missed the tongue in cheek message behind my comment. If you've ever been to IKEA, you'll know it's like a maze and you could, theoretically, wander round all day trying to find the exit.
DeleteBabs ,don’t sweat it, many of my nuances and bit of sarcasm can be missed by certain followers
DeleteThere are actually arrows on the floor to follow. It's a long trek (although with shortcuts clearly offered by big signposting actually) but a simple one for anyone prepared to follow arrows (although not everyone is).
DeleteAre you buying one of my 1970s lampshades?
ReplyDeleteNever
DeleteNo IKEA furniture for us, ever. We like good, sturdy furniture made from old wood. I do like the IKEA textiles, though!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a photo of your new chair.
Did you ever hear the IKEA song?
Hugs!
My IKEA sofa is good quality but I understand your worries. John Lewis have better quality chairs
DeleteI love IKEA. I am always finding little things that I had no idea I wanted. Can't wait to see the chair.
ReplyDeleteI bought two, for the kitchen , that can be put away until I have more than One diner visitor
DeleteI need some things at IKEA. I’m waiting for after Three Kings Day. I don’t like to rub my nose against just any old nipple.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a while for me
DeleteOw, l am there with you metaphorically speaking. We will need to peruse the roomsets, obtain one of those tiny pencils and paper tape measures. Find some old scrap of paper to make notes on and write down measurements of various items with names like blob and flob, which l have no intention of actually buying, but that pencil and tape will pop into my bag with as these will come in handy sometime never. Then on to marketplace with a trolley full of stuff ....128 quid!..really?
ReplyDeleteThen the best bit, hotdog and chips with an overload of tomato sauce and mustard, firm instructions of ' you can eat that muck here now, you're not getting in the car with it!' Woff it down with a slurp of cola. Then home, wish l hadn't eaten that, got heartburn now! A fun trip was had by all, l think. Tess x
I nearly bought another sofa
DeleteCourse you did, never doubted it T
DeleteThe IKEA at Warrington is like a maze. You may never get out of there. Some customers walk around for days until they are finally spotted on CCTV cameras.
ReplyDeleteThe psychological reasons for the design would, I suspect , make fascinating reading
DeleteIf you carefully observe the staff (ok if you can actually find one ) you may see them craftily sliding behind one of those large panels in the store that herd you along. These are the shortcuts and you can skip right through all the trails to the exit once you need to get out
ReplyDeleteLee
Yes I’ve been through one of those when ordering my kitchen , it feels like a film set
DeleteOh no - not IKEA! It might just be 'straight man talk' but I feel that time moves at a different pace in there and I age several years each time I enter its portal. Mitch Benn's comic paean to said store always makes me smile though: https://youtu.be/mO7W2Tytfvk
ReplyDeleteLol the area IKEA is lacking in is art
DeleteI love a good wander around Ikea. But, it becomes an all day event for me. It's an hours drive from our house. There is always something there to buy. It's the only place I can get the big square German bed pillows that husband loves.
ReplyDeleteI dare anyone to go in Ikea and come out empty handed!
ReplyDeleteDo you have room for another chair ... or is it super tiny. :-)
