Been to Ikea today. Managed to come away with just a new storage jar for my coffee rather than sinking to the possibility of bankrupting myself, though that place is ever a temptation for home and glasswares and dinner services and other such things that make me inexplicably but deeply excited for reasons I've never quite been able to fathom.


I am rediculously sleepy right now. Early night for this llama I think, to make it into town for the interviewy thing in the a.m.

Might go take a nice bath now and then vegetate while waiting for Being Human. Fucking last episode of the series tonight, I'm not sure I can deal with the inevitable cliffhanger...

What, no tealights?

[lady-t-220.livejournal.com]

HA! No, no tealights this time though we did pass a woman with a trolley literally FULL of them...

Ha. I have the exact same reaction to IKEA, oohing and aahing over all these neat storage solutions that I logically don't need, but they're sooo nice! It's a disease. Something they put in the air, I swear. XD

Fabric covered cardboard boxes! Why, of course I need three of them! Oooh, and a 99p rug and a wok and...

I actually have four of those 99p rugs. *eyeroll*

(To be fair, it takes two of them to cover my very cold bathroom floor, and I needed to replace them after four years, so I bought two new ones instead, and then the old ones got degraded to placemats for winter shoes, so it's not like I don't use them...)

I have one in the bedroom cause there's not a lot of floor and it matches quite nicely...

Plus, they're cheap...

IKEA so has us pegged. Sigh. I hate being such an obvious part of a demographic.

But 89p for a storage jar, how could I not go "Ooh, I need one of those..." especially considering the maternal ran off with all the ones we already had and filled them with pasta...

Good luck tomorrow.

Oh, and Ikea. Gets me in trouble, too. Current sin was to wander through buying stuff for my sons first apartment. It is cheap but the concept negates itself if one fills up a basket with stuff. They should come equipped with price scanners so they don't need the defibrillator at checkout!
