its not possable to spend over 200 quid in ikea and get it home in the car so dont worry,,,,,,, everytime i shop there i worry about the price and its always lower than i thought

now taking her to a clothes shop ect is gonna cost,,,,,,, handbag prices are not far off robbery

Ikea, Sunday, mad!! Just mad I tell you You may aswell just write the rest of the day off cos you'll spend 80% of it queuing to get in and out, 15% queuing to pay for a book case cos it was only £5 and is made from sea grass then the other 5% figuring out how to get it all in the car and why did you buy it again
