Gotta love Ikea

After a day doing stocktake for the 3rd time in 7 months :( I really needed my Ikea shopping spree.
My friend and I can spend hours in that shop buying nothing much or having a big big spend up, which happened tonight.
I needed a new bed, wanted a new mattress, bedside tables and tallboy - so got the lot!!
Luckily I had thought to take my dads ute and we struggled with putting all the stuff on the back, where are the nice strong young men when you need them!! We had built up a bit of a sweat then realised that we needed to tie it on. As both of us were born without testicles and hence missed out on the rope tieing upper gene, I went to find some Ikea male who could help us.
Unfortunately on a misty cold late Friday evening all I could find was a male relic who freely admitted he missed out on boyscouts and couldn't tie a knot to save himself.
Now he is unique, I had yet to come across a male who doesn't do all those complicated loops, triple somersaults, knots, throw overs and unders and double twist to finish!!
What is wrong with the female version of a double knot and hope for the best?
Anyway all loaded and off home, both starving. Ikea restaurant closed at 7.30 :( but Thai takeaway and red wine more than made up for it :)
Guess what I will be doing all weekend.
Reading instructions and trying to put my bed together
Wish me luck!!
Oh and we are already planning our next trip!!
