    Same happened to me in there, I decided that they have a moving exit to keep you in there.

    Seriously, I felt well trapped in there. It was setup so that you couldn't get out without doing a full lap of the store which was the size of Mongolia. :eek:

    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.

    Why thank you Tustastic. :)

    I'll have to have a little looksy on there! No 42inch LVD tv's knocking about on there are there? :think: :p

    Although I hate Ikea! Went there once and couldn't find the exit. :eek: It's left me scarred! :o :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:
    Mostly CRT tvs on my local groups, but often ver' ver' large and ver' ver' good makes. And ver' ver' quickly snapped up too. :D

    Oh I forgot to add that woofer went back to the vets today. Again. But all is good. He just has to go back monthly now for arthritis jabs. :)


    Moneywise this diary it's dying it's death! :rotfl:

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

    Maybe it could be the DFW GIOL thread! :D
