On Friday we travelled to the Ikea store at Warrington, Cheshire. Our main reason for the trip was to sort out much needed storage for the front room. The trip which should have taken just over an hour took in excess of two hours, traffic jams and road works were the order of the day :-) We love the Ikea store most particularly the Swedish ability to shoe horn massive amounts of storage in the smallest of spaces. What we find difficult is the one way system around the store which is exhausting for someone like me who lives with an invisible chronic illness. At one point those comfy beds all lined in a row were incredibly inviting! Needless to say coffee, analgesics and anti-inflammatories have been my main stay since the weekend but the pain and exhaustion have been worth it :-)
A pip juice for a Pip :-)
A paper mobile.
Perler bead fun.
A mine craft creeper in the making.
A wooden grid.
Hiding.
A cheeky face.
Working on the doors.
A happy helper.
All done! Well almost :-) There are two doors still needing to be finished but we ran out of steam! The average bedtime for the adults in the house has been midnight at the earliest ;-) I had hoped for an early night but we are currently on diabetes watch. Benedict has encountered a pump problem and so we are back on emergency injections until a new pump can be dispatched and so it is a two hourly check and further injections if needed throughout the night.
