Lets us know how they cope in all weathers

[Bumble Beez]

Haven't thought that through yet!! But we'll see and they're only £9 each so not a huge amount to lose if it doesn't work!

I'm in Ikea right now! DS seems to be carrying around a large toy dog which we can't persuade him to put back.....looks like he's coming home with us!

[adedwards68]

Hoping to go there in 2 weeks after my holiday. Got a new mindee starting Sept so there must be something I need to buy :-)

[FussyElmo]

I don't drive so have to rely on dh to take me :( And believe me he is a right Victor meldew in there actually any shop.

[Gem wright]

Now after reading all this, I really want to go to ikea........ Lol

[sing-low]

Well THAT was expensive! DS was fooling around (had been warned twice), bumped into me and I dropped my phone. Cracked screen! I can still hear the smack it made on the concrete floor. :angry::angry::angry: No trip to the playground tomorrow as we'll have to go into town to sort it out. Sigh!:(

No way...what a nightmare :(
Hope you can get it fixed easily and that its not too expensive to put right...
Breathe and count to 100...

Ah no!!! Hope it doesn't cost too much xx

Didn't go in the end, was trying to go tomorrow with a friend who wants to buy a cot but it hasn't panned out so may go alone tomorrow or Friday. Have decided to overhaul the playroom and want some expedit furniture!

[kimnolan87]

Went yesterday and got moaned at by the fiancé for buying more things for the children & playroom!!!! Says I have enough toys now - eerrm, will I ever have enough toys???!!!!

Came out with a couple of expedit units for our bedroom, two besta bookshelves for the playroom, the wooden train track and some more cover all bibs - love that shop!!!! Xxx

Oh no it may be cheaper to order the screen from the internet and follow the youtube tutorials. We are doing this for dhs who managed to crack his screen :thumbsup:

Been and only bought a pack of long sleeved bibs and the wooden train! Will definitely be back next weekend when I have seen exactly what I need once I have decluttered my toys! Have lots of ideas now and it's only 15 mins away so dangerous!

I wouldn't put the bed canopy outside, it's only fabric, not sure it would last in the rain

[Supernanny86]

I've given up my ikea trip tomoro to take my siblings to cinema, I'm not too bothered as it is for the smurfs! :)

[CLL]

I try not to go that often now. Our house is built mainly out of ikea items and I fear going as I always spend a few hundred pounds. It is only a 20 min drive from my house so I have to force myself not to go at a weekend. It is really hard when you are all chatting about it, I want to go now!!!

Same here. Hubby refers to it as the house that ikea built!

We have the expedit furniture in the playroom and throats storage units - brilliant for keeping things tidy.

Need to go to ikea now ......

[Daisy De]

I'm just glad Ikea is an hour away so I can't just pop in :D
