I don't want to go at all but I need to go.

Which will be the best option do you think? 'Best' as in least crowded.

Tonight at about 7.30?
Or tomorrow at about 1pm?

Definetly tonight!

I love going to Ikea in the evening. So much more civilised, until you have to squash everything into the car Grin

We normally go about 8pm and it's fine, late Saturday is good too (7 ish)

Tonight.
Weekends and bank holidays are when it's best avoided (and the few weeks post A-level results when the university freshers are getting ready to leave home).

My initial response was "holy crap! Not Saturday!"

I've suddenly got the urge to go tonight now, not that I need anything...just fancy a mooch.
You can bet I'll come out with a plant, a picture frame, tea lights, a storage container and a hotdog.

I got side tracked last night and didn't go. Will it be really dire today?

I know what I want.
I'll be able to use the self service tills.
I won't even need a trolley.
Shall I go for it?

I would definitely avoid it on a Saturday afternoon, by all
Costs! Could you go late in the evening as suggested by pps?

Think this weekend will be particularly busy as it was payday yesterday for a lot of people.

I'm out tonight, and out quite early, so I think I'll just go now.
I'm quite good at sticking to my list.
I don't like shopping and I'm not one for candles etc.
I do like a nice storage solution but I will make myself skip that section Grin

I'm on the way to IKEA right now, so I'm hoping it won't be too dire!

We went last night, we're about 15 minutes from the Wednesbury one. I got a cactus, a sieve, a dustpan and brush and a fold-up black and white shopping bag Grin

Oh, and we had our free coffees too.
