    I liked Ikea (Bristol is my nearest one as well) the first couple of times I went there :rolleyes: but I swear I lose track of time once I'm inside, have to queue for hours and end up coming out with loads of stuff I don't need having forgotten the stuff I do :confused:

    ... and it definitely makes me grateful I'm single... every couple I see in there after about half way round seems to be having a fight. One of my friends got so stressed her twins nearly ended up being born in Ikea :eek: she went into labour and couldn't find a quick way to the exit.

    Have fun Valli :D

    Edit - just why do you need to measure your car if you're going to get a candelabra?????
    Because I might buy something -erm - bigger?
