Having been very good and done plenty of diy this week we
decided to have a day off. It was another sunny day and the Med was calling!
Unfortunately we couldn’t hear it so we went to Ikea instead.
When we lived in London our nearest Ikea was only 5 miles
away. Now our nearest is 115kms and about an hour and a half away. Although to
be fair it used to take us an hour and a half to do 5 miles up the North
Circular.
We went to check out three things;
1) Some bookcases for the upstairs landing – It will end up being the ubiquitous Billy bookcases.

2) A modular wardrobe system for guest bedroom 1 – Yes, we
know what we want as the internal system
3) Sliding doors for said wardrobe – Failed on this one. Not
the end of the world though.
Other than that we managed to get through the underground
dungeon of unnecessary plastic items with only 56€ of purchases and we also
managed to avoid eating meatballs or lingonberries.
We didn’t buy any of it so in another couple of weeks and
I’ll be off again in the van to bring it home, and then the diy will start
again.
I can’t help thinking my day off as a reward has somehow worked against me!

Wembley used to be our nearest, but getting there on a Sunday morning was a nightmare. We now have one in Milton Keynes, which is much easier to get to.
Billy bookcases are the best!
All that way and you didn't buy anything? Not even a meatball?
Yes, it was Wembley we went to. Billy bookcases are the cheapest and providing you don't keep very heavy books on them for ages they do last. And until we win the Euromillions they'll be what we'll have! Nearly had a hotdog!
I have been to both of those shops but once only. I absolutely hate the way you have to walk where you are told to. I find is so dispiriting; I shall never go there again.
