Shattered

diy, house, ikea, Personal, shopping

Made the most of the holiday weekend and I can safely say that I’m glad to be going back to work tomorrow. The clear-out on Saturday was followed by lot’s of flat pack building. Also cleaned out the rest of the garage and organised what’s left - for the first time since we moved in the garage is looking tidy…for a garage.

The rest of the furniture is all built and in place but it’ll take a few days of tidying to get back to normal. One thing I do regret is I forgot to order a lock and key for a set of office drawers I bought. I foolishly went into Ikea today for it - never again on a bank holiday. The place was mobbed and you could see three types of consumer

Browsers - they walk at a snails pace (now called the ‘Ikea Shuffle) and seem to stop and point at all the room displays whether they are buying anything or not.

‘The Lost’ - trying in vain to make their way through the maze is not easy but on a busy day, with people wanting to take short cuts they had no chance

Irish - the place was teeming with them. Day trips from Ireland to the Glasgow Ikea are VERY popular

Never mind - a lesson has been learnt.
