Having the same kinda problem. Went out today to do inspiration shopping (try & get design ideas, themes etc). One thing I know I need is bedside cabinets. Not seen any IRL or online that are acceptable. Went into dreams & saw a superb bed with no need for cabinets. But the mother isn't on their website as I wanted a further look, and that has made me:mad:


I went to IKEA last week to look for one particular thing. Found it in a better colour than the ones on the website.

It's this:
http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80071319/#/80071357
I'll have my records stored in it, interspersed with other ornamental type stuff/lights etc. I wanted to measure it first, & the gaps are the perfect size for vinyl!:cool:


I need some frames. Found another store with big frames where they're cheaper than ikea.

I'm going to need some larger frames too though. Bit worried they might need specially making or something...:eek:

IKEA in some countries allows you to order online, they deliver and they can even put together flat packs. Not sure if it has reached the UK yet.

Large frames, try 'dunelm mill' or 'the range'.

All finally over with the Bulgarian girl It's been on the cards for a while now, so I didn't think I'd be this gutted. I really thought it might be going somewhere. Quite a long time since I've cried over a girl.

Might vote UKIP just to spite her.

They claim to do all that here. But quite a lot of their stuff isn't available to order online at all, and stuff which they say is turns out not to be, and a delivery date of 6th May suddenly becomes 20th May.....

Ah, must be Kerry Packer.... I'm not into sport and don't know what he did though.

He was a TV a newspaper network owner and most famously split apart Test Cricket with his World Series.

He went into negotiations with the Aussie Cricket Board and, according to the TV program about him, said, "There's a little bit of w h o r e in each of us. What's your price? ".

He was euphemistically called abrasive.

Not in the least mean sprited, doesn't mean that I wasn't inconsiderate though.



Having bought a second-hand cooker (with the house), if/ when I buy another I think I'd like whatever reassurance there is from a new one. Plus I'd still need it to be delivered/ installed/ old one removed...

Think the first step is to get someone out here to look at the cooker (or at least discuss over the phone, I'm guessing a write off). Just tried turning it on at the wall and it's definitely still unhappy :eek:

I just typed then deleted what I think is the problem, as I don't want to give anyone else nightmares about their cooker I'm quite pleased that there was a fire blanket in the kitchen though - not something I've ever used before, but I'll be making sure I always have one in my house from now on.

I wonder what's going to stop working next bank hol weekend

Are the house electrics fitted with a shiny, new RCD box?
