Visiting the Embassy 005/365

So today I helped my girlfriend move house. It was rather good fun all in all and has covered all my exercise quota for the next week easily. I met her new landlord who is a rather awesome chap who helped move a lot of the stuff up the two flights of stairs and then joined us for lunch at the local pub to celebrate the move.

Now as part of every move you always find that from one place to the next that your always going to need more shelf space or storage of some sort as every room is different.

Seeing as my girlfriend is Scandiwegian there was only one place we were going to get furniture, it was time to visit the embassy – IKEA!

Now this was only the second time I’ve visited IKEA but I’ve already fallen in love with the place and here’s why

1- it’s laid out in the most practical fashion I can imagine which actually makes wondering round easier rather than harder

2- they have show rooms that actually make sense and are fun to loom through – mini one or two bedroom lay outs that really show off what you can do

3- you can try out almost everything and not get looked at funny like you have you feet up on the furniture even though that’s exactly what your doing

All in all today was a success – I even earned man points for successfully navigating the lanes of shelves and returning with the right book case, in the right colour with any tears or drama – win
