If you are ever thinking of going to Ikea on a bank holiday Monday, please rethink. Go and stab yourself in the leg with a skewer, the pain will be more bearable.
With the purchase of the new house iminent, we decided to take the wee one, and venture to Ikea, "just to have a look".
That never happens, we ended up following the slowest, most unhygienic, and probably stupidest people on earth around what can only be described as a labyrinth of flat pack nonsense.
I only wanted to look for a computer desk, and knew which one I wanted, as I had looked on the web before I visited.
Could I get straight to computer desks without passing Go, without collecting £200? Of course not.
I had to pass bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, the obligatory "500 tea lights for £1" offer.
Finally found my desk, they didnt have it in stock, so all I got from Ikea was a hot dog, and a headache.

should have gone for the Swedish meatballs. Makes it all worthwhile.
We only had enough change for one hot dog and a small soft drink.
I still had to assemble it myself, with instructions written in Swedish
I absolutely adore Ikea! But, like you, I go in for one or two very definite items and come out so laden I have to put my back seat down to fit it all in. Heaven help me if I have passengers! During one recent visit, my very understanding friend travelled home with a large (and spiky) plant between her legs! I only went in for a bedside cabinet!
