and this is going to make me sound very very old, well dated anyway.
I was going to ikea today (shocking i know, but that is not what i am talking about..for now) and turn the radio on and it is on radio 2, the usual, but for a moment i wondered because i found myself listening to Frankie goes to Hollywood’s RELAX…
……on radio 2
….in the morning
…..on Ken Bruce’s show…… (yes, i know v sad that i actually know the presenter’s name;0)
Is it me or did seem like not that long ago that, that song was banned from Radio 1 and everywhere else. Okay so i know it was a bit ago, i think i might have even been at school and that was a loooooonnnnnggg time ago but nevertheless….radio 2…..sheeesh….
anyhoo…so i went to ikea today because i have become increasingly depressed by my scrapbooking stuff all over the place and i keep seeing these flash studio type arrangements in all the magazines and having BIG issues with envy…..
I checked out some of the scrapbooking specialist places and thought to myself “i know, ikea will do something like this at half the price” so off i went..and for those of you who know me reasonably well, ikea is NOT a bliss place for me and more so now since they have ALTERED the layout of the place.
oh, i hate that place, not least for the way they channel you around like rats in a pen but also the oh so many inexpensive useful items that you end up thinking you cant live without and then wonder why you have spent £100 when you meant to spend £5.
So i went to get some STORAGE, an ikea speciality right? well no, NOT. I didnt find the scrapbooking container of my dreams and i did come back with a few random things like a spatular….but it was cheap and very bendy….
ah well back to the shoeboxes for the time being.
Check this out I have done a whole post and not mentioned the kids…..dont worry, we still have them.
;0)
one of my fav pics from the weekend to share with you……a little bit of granddaddy time…
We went to Ikea Tuesday evening – Phil wanted some office stuff so we thought why not feed Finbar there – and he actually ate his tea – if I had given him meatballs and chips (very unhealthy I know) at home he would have turned his nose up at them – oh well, oh to be a fickle 19 month old!
Loving all the pics Sarah, have you tried places like rapid or taskers for storage or even somewhere like stationary box?
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I will have to look you up on 2Peas. I spend way too much time there. LOL.
