MC - just follow the arrows! You can go off to the right and left but just go back on the arrows to follow the route round ................sigh.


There's some Ikea stuff I like but not all of it. Depends what you're after I suppose.


Cor....it's going cold here but a couple of young girls turned up for a baptism in skimpy outfits. They must have been frozen.



Mind you, after watching Frozen Planet, it makes us look like a sauna.... :-D


Who else is around then ????

OOOhh - They will all be laughing at you MC as you seem to have Ikeaphobia - You sound just like me when I venture onto 'scarey' FB - they said I had Facebookaphobia and laughed at me then!

They are a cruel lot!

I know exactly what you mean though ;-)

MC I thought you were going to say Ikea scared you because you always come out with more stuff than you need.............

......................didnt have you down for a whimp ;-)

Most of the stuff is tat there but if you get lucky you can pick up some nice things.

You know I dont do curtains but I do have drapes on either side to the french doors. I cant be ar#ed to wash and iron them so I get new from Ikea (they are only cheap)

So now I have fresh new drapes and JB washed down the pole and windows.....lovely

I daresay it's OK if you go regularly and know where you're going. Have had some nice plants from there.

We dont have Ikea here, the council denied planning (doh) so I have to go Notts or Leeds

Only go when I want new drapes..........no Cyns I dont change them every month (like you would)

Why would I change my curtains every month? Don't be daft. shakes head.



OH has just told me that we are likely to get snow this week.......


I am now depressed.


:-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

The nearest Ikea to me is at Warrington and it's on a complex with a massive M & S - ToysRUs etc. Don't go very often now. As OH says, what do we really need? After 43 years of marriage we are fortunate to have what we have and anything extra would just be for a change. Certainly don't want to go down the having more ornaments route etc.

I agree for once Cyns....I av none of them ornaments....dust gatherers they is

Snow...................Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I seem to remember that you then 'warmed yourself up' with a LOT of food though Sylvs !! AND gave the impression that you had imbibed more than a little of the old 'vino' ???

Hiccupped all the way off to bed and couldn't get up in the morning ???

Nice to see you now though !!!

We had a lovely evening yestersay (except for one thing)

We went to the Vancouver Opera to see Romeo et Juliette (no prizes for guessing what that is based on :-) )

It was very well done, chorus great, etc, and the main singers really great to fantastic.

Esepcially the soprano who played Juliette, who was magnificent, and got a standing ovation


............. and the icing on the cake for us was that she, Simone Osborne, has come up through the Student Opera program that OH is involved with.

Just 4 years ago, she was 2 years into her music degree, with a fantastic voice. Then she won one of the New York Metropolitan Opera's BIG prizes .................. at the age of only 21, which is almost unheard-of-young.

Since then, she has shortened her academic studies to get a Diploma, and has been singing and being mentored at the Met, and is in her second year with the Canadian Opera.

She is now 24, and Juliette was her first starring role.


She's going to go far!



Oh yes ................... she's also a good actress, and very good looking to add to it, and is a delightful person!

maligning me again, Dea??? :-P

I did not sleep in this morning :-D



but it did take me a long time to get on here :-D :-D :-D

You said:

Then you told us all the wonderful bits but didn't tell us what the 'one thing' was !!

I want to go to bed now but the suspense is killing me :-D :-D

The one thing that was not good last night was that I personally was not too comfortable.


I have a bit of a problem with an Achilles tendon, which decided to start acting up on Wednesday. I have been treating it with ice packs and exercises, as per instructions

........... but I didn't realise that the shoes I chose to wear (normally very comfortable and smartish looking) would aggravate it until we were walking across the floor of the parkade downtown.

Amazing how a tiny bit of discomfort can magnify over the evening :-(

told you now!

OOO Sylvs - NOT nice !!

Dea Xxx

Nite nites all!

We have an Ikea about 10-15 minutes drive away, across the river.


We go there quite frequently.

I like the Elderflower drink they sell in their shop.

It's also now one of the very few places where we can buy UNICEF Christmas cards ....... our favoured choice for something like 30 years!


But I have also come to like their sheets and pillow cases ................ 100% cotton, very soft and comfortable, and a very good price.

They seem to last just as long as much more expensive ones from other stores ........ and don't have any polyester in them as the other makes almost always have, unless you go to the very top end of the market.


OH has a bit of a problem on his face with a dermatological (possibly cancer) condition, that means he picks away at it. He goes to a dermatologist at least once a year, and he "zaps" them with liquid nitrogen (so not very serious cancer)

...................... but the picking makes them bleed, and pretty soon, every pillowcase has got blood marks on it.

I find it next to impossible to get rid of the mark



............. and I don't feel guilty at frequently replacing them at Ikea prices :-)
