Never again! :rotfl:
It is also full stress city when you actually want to buy something. Go to isle 3 blOOdy thousant and twelvty six for your chair and the cushion for it is on isle 1.
Then you have to queue for a week to part with you hard earned money and then carry all the carp to the car on those trolleys that have all had one wheel tampered with by some spiteful person who I am sure are spying and laughing at you while you try to get to you car without taking someones wing mirror off.
I have heard they are starting to do a nice range in car mats though so you might be tempted No?:rotfl:But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

Although I hate Ikea! Went there once and couldn't find the exit. :eek: It's left me scarred!:rotfl:
SS I hate shopping at Ikea too! Soo, you let other people go and buy stuff there (which is actually quite nice) then just wait a few months for them to advertise it on Freecycle. Never fails!:rotfl:

I guess I could keep you all up to date with 'savings' updates but it's all tied up at bookies anyway.
