    Ooooh, can I come to Ikea, can I, can I? :rotfl:

    I love it - can easily spend hours in there. Get there early, have breakfast for a quid, then off round the store before getting a hot dog on the way out. Trick is to make a list before you go from the website, then completely ignore the showroom upstairs and trot straight down to the market hall. Everyone else wanders around upstairs for a good hour, so if you go straight down you get a headstart and some lovely peaceful shopping! :j

    But seriously - I would go for you - I like it that much! :p

    You're more than welcome to come. As long as you bring your purse! ;)

    Listen to you getting all domesticated... tea towels eh! Have fun and avoid Ikea at the weekends- mid week is slightly less Hell-like.

    Well I've got about £750 in the 'flat fund'. :)

    Hoping it will be about £2,000 by the end of the month! :think:

    If so I'm looking at about £4,500 - £5,000 by the end of June which should be more than enough. Still can't help thinking though that taking that and my monthly payments on my loan that my debt could be down to £3,500! :undecided
