cottonsocks 1 , ikea 0

Last week, I went to Ikea with little lady lost. it was a mission indeed.

i needed a sideboard/buffet. I had been eyeing off one from S&P in high gloss black with the little baroque legs. i dont know if this is what they are called but im calling it that from now on.

anyways, i was looking through the ikea website and noticed they had one that was very simular ( not as nice) but at a third of the price. so i decided to do the sensible thing and purchase the cheaper one.

SO, after lady lost and i found lots of nick nacks to add to our trolley we went to the warehouse section to pick up the sideboard which would be told would fit in my car . BOY THEY COULDNT BE ANY WRONGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEERRRRRRR.

it didnt even come close to fitting in my car. and we could hardly lift it.

so a call had to be made.

get it delivered in a few days and pay more $$$? NO! THEN IKEA WINS! THATS WHAT THEY WANT!

with an hour before closing i had to make a decision fast.

I ring my dad

" Does Ms Blogless have our work ute"

dad  : "yes she does. why?"

*beep hang up*

ring ring Ms Blogless

"Ms Blogless. I NEED U IKEA RICHMOND ASAP BRING UTE"

YAY

she comes and saves the day. w00t w00t

then i get a call from Freedom 

" your coffee table has arrived. come pick it up from melb central before we close in an hour"

EEEEP

STRESS INDUCED HEART ATTACK

i buzz off to the city

Ms Blogless races to richmond.

and an hour later all my goodies arrive at home safe and sound.

BUT THEN

we realised

argh.

this is in a million pieces.

i always thought that ikea things came in like 4 pieces and u pop them together like lego.

FUN LEGO

"this will be fun" i thought " i will build this all myself and suprise people with my talent"

ugh

yeah

didnt happen

but let me tell you, Ms Blogless and i gave it a fair go. we got the whole shape of the thing happening and put the doors on ! then i had to get my trusty ol' dad to come and finish the job.
