Greetings from a weary traveller

Morning folks from a tired and weary but happy traveller....and I know you are all wondering....how did I get on at Ikea.....a piece of cake.....arrived about 11 after stopping off at The Horn (if you are from this neck of the woods....you will know that I couldn't pass without having one of their fabulously huge and way over the top bacon rolls).......headed straight to the warehouse....had all the codes written down......loaded all my stuff onto one of those flat bed pushy things helped by a very nice man from Ikea...through the checkout and car loaded by 12....and then headed back in for a yummy lunch before driving home......arriving just after 3 much to hubby's surprise....probably thinks I was speeding....not guilty.....and wait for it had all the units assembled before dinner.....I did the first two and then hubby and I raced through the third......I tell you they were an absolute breeze to put together and I love them......so credit where credit is due......well done Ikea.....10 out of 10....and look at all that storage space.

but my favourite purchase has to be this...

the perfect place to park my bum... relax with a cuppa and plan what still needs to be done....there are still shelves to put up....a countertop to be fitted around the wall...where am I going to put the computer.....and then major decisions....what am I putting where.....oh I feel a cuppa moment coming on.    The problem might be that there will be more "sitting down thinking" moments than "doing any work" moments.....don't you think?
And after all that gadding about yesterday....am I having a relax day....fat chance....have a few crafty projects to get finished....I feel like a hamster on a wheel.....can't wait to get the new cubbyhole up and running and then back to just normal frantic crafting.
Catch up with you all later......Hugs Kath xxxxxx
