Now here’s a thing….

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.
