OT - I didn't bother going to Ikea

Topics

Cinds

I went to the beach instead with the dogs, and it was lovely I even took off my shoes and rolled up the troos and paddled in the sea.

So anyway, I apologise for not bringing meatballs back!

BUT on the upside I have rolled out the drinks trolley!!!! Anyone care for a Bank Holiday drinky poo?

Pours drinks for those requiring them, and puts a plate of her own home made meatballs out (far superior to Ikeas offerings). Enjoy!

About 2 years ago they built a huge new Ikea on the outskirts of Malaga, we were down that way at the time, and had gone to Seville for a few days as Mr Cinds goes sky diving there, the place was full to the brim with Ikea staff who had been shipped in to train the new Malaga staff, why on earth did they choose to put them up in Seville when there are so many other places much closer

Anyway, *drags oneself back from her tangent*, I don't mind Ikea, just prefer it during the week when there are not as many other people in there.

Wise move, Cinds

Nothing better than a day on the beach - that's what I did last weekend

Ikea is a nightmare at this time, full of parents buying stuff for their kids to take to Uni.

They built a huge one near George Best airport in Belfast....Mr Lee and I went and honestly the crowds were so bad I ran....Got brave enough to venture back another day but at the tills I had to run to be sick the crowds and the heat made me panic big time....I wasn't a pretty sight travelling on the M1 to get home I can tell you....Head out the window green to the gills.

We bought our kitchen in Ikea. By the time I'd ordered it, paid for it, got the list and spent a couple of hours collecting all the components for it from the warehouse and ticking them off the list, I was ready to commit murder.

Thank god I didn't have to build it

Mrs Joe and I didn't go to the sales either so sadly we were unable to save anything.

Hahahahahahaha Ikea horror stories are brilliant! My worst one is not about the goods but about the maze that is Ikea, was about 6 years ago and I was suffering from Labyrinthitis at the time, I was having a goodish day so decided(foolishly)to go to Ikea, we were maybe a third of the way around when I couldn't cope any more and had had to go on to my hands and knees to stop the spinning vertigo. Mr Cinds ended up having to get a wheel chair to get me out of there, as every time I stood up I was almost falling over again and started being sick.

I don't know what a pint of wifebeater is, but I'll pour you a pint of vodka, would you like a cherry? And please feel free to nibble at my balls any time

I have a great story about buying boots in the sales, whereby after I had justified the purchase of them it sounded like the shop actually paid me to take them.

Oooh Mr Q had Labyrinthitis - not nice all

Often he would be travelling back home on the trains and he had get off at a random stop cos he couldn't cope.

As for Ikea....we have the best arguments there.
