I meant to go to Ikea today
instead I have sat around in my pants and done nothing useful.

It's like walking around the queue for Pirates Of The Caribeen The Ride (that the move was based on, rather than the other way 'round).... and it goes to the best place ever; the exit.
The final room in the ikea doungen in Zelda.

I hate the walking round bit.
I like to work out what I want before I go, download the picking list so I know which shelves I'm going to, and skip straight to the warehouse and then have an ice cream.

The warehouse is HUGE, soo tall, all I could think was that if an earthqack happened, no one would survive.
It's a lot harder when you're thinking about kitting out a whole house, it's worst than doing the weekly shop at ASDA.

Did you go to Edmonton or Wembley?

(Bazongaloid, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:18, Reply)

Edmonton, did you know that people actually live there?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:38, Reply)

What, in the shop?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:39, Reply)

Nah', Edmonton in general.

I could totally eat 20 meatballs.

(Bazongaloid, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:06, Reply)

I couldn't
but I do really really fancy meatballs for tea now.
(berk, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:09, Reply)

I think I had about 8 when I ate in IKEA.
That's probably a good amount, but I could still eat 20.

I just went for a run and I'm feeling suprisingly good
(Bazongaloid, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:10, Reply)

I was going to go for a run today, I haven't for over a week
but 1) it was raining and 2) I really couldn't be arsed. How far are you up to now?
(berk, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:14, Reply)

I have had to start again due to persistant injury, which I'm not fully over yet, so I only did 2.3 miles today
I'm going to be doing lots of short runs while I'm on holiday and hopefully by the time I get back I'll be up to doing a solid 5 miles in one hit.

If I can't manage that by the time I get back in August then there is no way I'll be able to do the half marathon.

( djtrialprice, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:44, Reply)

Really? Sitting in that grease? Is there anything more to them than off-cuts of meat that have been compacted and frozen?
Seriously, dullard central in food terms. I bet people ask for the pan-juices too, grim.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:13, Reply)

they have a strange gravy that youget with it
and you can have Lingenberry jam, which is a bit like cranberry, but slightly more bitter.
(Bazongaloid, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:14, Reply)

I saw that, the gravey seemed creamy, was it like a dill sauce? Sweeds love their dill sauce.

I've also ordered a book that I'm really really looking forward to coming out (Lev Grossman's The Magician King) even though I'm gonna pirate it as soon as I can as it comes out in the states first.... and the complete Rock'n'Chips because that was awesome.

According to that link
more people who view that book buy the one I recommended than that one.

Does that make sense? I know all the words are in English, and I know what I'm trying to say, but somehow that just looks.... weird.

Those little Daim bars are where it's at
the big bag of individually wrapped ones. My friend and I once ate the entire bag of those on the drive back home from Ikea; the shame, the shame.

Oh yeah', I had a Diam tart thinggy, it was alright, not memorable enough to mention though.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:51, Reply)

I went to IKEA when I was in Scotland in April.
It was dire. And the food was awful. Worse than school dinners. Personally I'd rather go to The Range. Having said that, I'd rather go to most places than IKEA.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:39, Reply)

I've never been.
I never, ever want to buy furniture.
( djtrialprice, Sun 17 Jul 2011, 17:41, Reply)

When you move back to Scotland
you can lie on bean bags in the living room and one of those blow-up guest beds in the bedroom. And eat your dinner straight out of the munchy box, cross-legged on the floor.

Or...
More sensibly, I could rent furnished accommodation or let someone else orchestrate furniture buying.

You may find it hard tracking down someone who doesn't mind renting out a furnished flat
to a couple with an evil mastermind cat.

Looks like I'll be going the second route then.

To be honest though I don't think I could cope with the level of crying that would cause.

Thing is though, with kitting out a place, is that it's a lot like shopping for food.
First you buy some bread, so you think "I know, I'll make sandwiches", so you get some ham, some cheese, some bread....so now you think you've got the makings of a good pasta dish, so you pick up some sauce and pasta and you no longer need sandwiches. But then you fancy something to use up the bottle of HP Guinness Sauce, so you get some chips, eggs for a fry up, some bacon, and now you have bacon there is no need for the ham, so you put that back, and are you really going to make a pasta bake? Ok, put the cheese back too. But the chips are no good for you, so they also go back and get replaced with some potatos for a jacket potato which is far more healthy.....etc etc.

I swear this is no word of a lie, when I was proper-lolmental, I used to go there every 2-3 days for 2-3 hours straight.... most times walking out with nothing edible.
I'm not so bad anymore, I can still spend a good few hours in there, but more like twice a month. I put my headphones on now and zone out.
