Haven't been in 5yrs since I moved too far away from one :(
I'm off to Kent to visit family this weekend and am wondering if I should take a detour via Thurrock on the way home and spend some of the extra dosh 'm working so hard for this Summer hols ;) Well its that or give it to the tax man so I may as well eh :)

Five years :eek: you are well in need of a trip!!!!!!!
You're sure to find something you didn't know you needed and you might even get a bargain - when I went a couple of weeks ago I got a spider (for incey wincey) for £0.49 couldn't bring myself to buy the bat for the same price though :panic:
Go on............ you know you want to go :D :thumbsup:

I have spent tooooo much in ikea recently. Best buy was my igloo for about £4.50 with some pale blue and polar white fleece blankets about £1.50 each and pale blue cushions about 60p each. Turned it into a lovely soft, quiet area. Great success especially as Will has fell asleep twice in there.

OK, I'm convinced :D
My mum is less than impressed though as it means I'll be leaving her place earlier than she wanted tomorrow, but some things are more important ;)
Is it sad that I'm realy excited :laughing:

I love Ikea too! Nearest one for me now though is an hour and a half away, but I still go. When I lived in London I was there every other week.
The children's table and chairs are great value, so are cup, plates, spoons.
Take a visit, you definately grab yourself a bargain.
