    I knew if I followed the arrows I'd eventually [STRIKE]escape[/STRIKE] find the exit. Going on a 'bush walk' was only gonna end in a tantrum and alot of swearing. :rotfl:

    Good to see that you survived Ikea!! Too late clearly to warn you about the market place where you think "oo its only a quid" the get to the til &, yup, theres 60 quids all in one wee trolley! Ever noticed how their trolleys are larger than normal...now you know why! Dont ever get their plants cos not one of mine has ever survived - B&Q is better for stuff like that! Bedding is good though although if you get an ikea bed they cunningly make the mattresses an odd shape so you also need ikea linen...

    ISOM - Are you the one person that has bought the round bed then??:p

    SS - glad you got out alive, I am basking in the glory of being right that you would spend on more than meatballs:cool:.

    At the opening of the Edmonton IKEA there was a stabbing, I din't think it would be sensible to raise it before you went;)

    OK, I now need cooking/baking dish/trays advice. :rotfl:

    Basically, I've got a pyrex type dish that is big enough for a 4 person lasagne. I've got another glass dish good for doing a few roast pots in etc.

    And I've also got a big kind of caserole dish thing with lid. That will I assume be handy for me doing my chicken with spanish sauce on.

    Do I need anything else? What about a tray for doing homemade chips on or something? What would I cook a chicken in/on? :think:
  • Hi SS you will need a roasting tray and also a baking sheet. The baking sheet for your chips. If you buy a pizza tray it can do double duty for pizza or chips. You can get those preety cheap anywhere Asda or Sainsbury basic range. The roasting tray for roasting your chicken and you can put your pottoes in with it. hth
