So a fact about myself: I love Ikea. 🙂
Always admired the economy of design and the minimal
packaging. We have a wannabe Ikea in NZ called "Mocka"
but their stuff comes with a mass of polystyrene. There is
another small outfit here who take your Ikea order and when
they have enough orders buy in UK and ship in container. The
wait can be lengthy ...

Please tell me that IKEA still has instructions included, unlike so many things I have purchased lately. They all say, “ go to our Webb site for instructions”.👿😮

They have written instructions so that a normally intelligent person (not me though) can actually make something out of it.

I still have nightmares of wandering around the Wembley IKEA.
I lost a friend there. The PTSD is always with me.
If you ever lost me sir in Ikea you would find me at the pick and mix.

I suppose my random fact today is that I have never been in an IKEA.

Neither have I ... always waited until I got home.
Though I believe their toilets are immaculate.

We could actually create a practical and stylish first home with their variety of things, it doesn't cost a fortune. You can have a meal there, prices and menu adjusted to families with children. There is a playroom for the kids, staff everywhere to guide you and help you. I think ...[text shortened]... ic idea that Ikea gives you value even for little money.

So a fact about myself: I love Ikea. 🙂
Agreed, a great place to spend a few hours.

I go there sometimes with friends or family to see what's new, or to buy things for the kitchen which always seems outdated, and to have a meal and a glass of wine. It's only 30 minutes by bus.

I also enjoy wandering around the showrooms and dreaming of a different existence.


And the pick and mix. Did I mention the pick and mix?
