luckykaaGetting keys to new flat today. Moving stuff there tomorrow. Ikea on Sunday.
I seem to be inordinately excited about this trip. I think it's because I'm still a bit of a materialist at heart, and want my own stuff. Even if it is highly generic Ikea stuff. Ikea is generic, but inexpensive, reasonably stylish and unless you get the cheapest stuff, durable enough. If it does break it's easily replaced.
I want a nice rug! And I want some under bed storage. And more shelves! And a decent computer desk.
Just wondering whether I want one of their sofas.
And what colour to get.
Must remember to get a colour that doesn't hide remote controls.

Of course, Argos is an option here. They deliver 7 days a week. I'm starting to warm to that company.
