    mel i've found with ikea stuff you get what you pay for, if you get the cheap stuff it falls apart but the expensive stuff lasts and lasts :)

    feelie, its lovely to "see" you around again :) how are you?

  • Mel - I had two Malm bedside tables in my old house and was very pleased with them.

    We have never had any problems up to now with Ikea stuff and have always gone lower-mid end price range...but I know drawers can be a pain, I am just hoping they are ok, we have to get two sets so I am really trying to avoid paying £100+ each!!
    We have had cheap argos stuff and it has just fallen apart, Ikea is usually vetter stuff than argos though isn't it???

    Thanks for the good luck wishes,just waiting for dh then we are off.....

    ETA....Oh thanks feelie, brilliant:) I will get them and try them then...unless anyone comes along and says catagorically not to;)

    yeah thats the main thing MM! its still £20 dearer for the year than last year, but £10 of that is the new area and the other £10 is cos of the "claim" so i wont argue too much about it, i just want it changed back to malicious damage cos accident looks worse IYSWIM

    I have to do an Xmas food shop too :( On Wednesday, my mum is taking me, I have an opticians app at 11 (I think? I better double check) and hopefully we can go after that and they won't wait until night (there preferred time is about 6) it will be heaving!!

    OH is still in bed, he was supposed to go into work for OT today but the person picking him up didn't show up and didn't answer his phone, the guy is a waster though, drugs and booze binge last night no doubt.....he even takes horse tranquilisers :eek: and OH wonders why I won't allow him over to ours for a few drinks one night? NO THANKS!!

    When he gets up I'm making him do the dishes, will cook a nice scrambled egg/sausage/toast/mushroom breakfast/lunch, get Keira's stuff packed and get her in her dress for her Xmas party. Then I'll need to go borrow a lawnmower to shave my legs for tonight....!

    and EWWW BAD BIG KITTY em!!

    My one has been ripping up my hall carpet because he doesn't like being locked out the living room but tough! He's not wrecking my tree (I lock them out when I'm out the house or if he starts doing it when I'm in the room)

    He's sitting playing with a bottle lid, he drops them in your shoes and bowls of water to make the game more fun.......weirdo.
