I need to go to ikea. Today. Sunday.

[mckenzie]

I know that’s Sunday is a terrible day to go but are any times better than others?
ASAP?
Nearer to closing time?

I would kill myself.

Okay, sorry - bad joke. But just no! 😱

It's pretty random.
Hopefully the cold weather will scare the wanderers away and leave the hard core shoppers

Hang myself ! After buying copious amounts of shit candles and dime bars x

OH, if you really must go, buy yourself a Daim frozen desert thingy!! They are amazeballs.

*dessert 🙄

Would rather stick pins in my eyes!

Just go, accept it will be busy and noisy hell and treat yourself with diames and ice cream.

We always go as early as possible on a Saturday - it’s pretty quiet and just getting busy as we leave. I looked at the google data for busy times (just google your local Ikea store and it will show you) but Sundays look pretty crazy all day.

Just make sure you get a good stash of cinnamon rolls and meatballs to make it worthwhile 😂

God help you.

Go now.

The only way I can get DP to go to IKEA is to bribe him with breakfast. We were there by the tensa-barrier into the first living room set (like being at the rope drop at Disney . I had warned DP to write off the whole day... we were home 2 1/2 hours after arriving, with everything we needed (including having breakfast and a 45 minute drive home).

I went first thing Monday morning and it was empty ! Had my pick of parking spaces and a lovely potter around.

take your time there and try their meatballs from restaurant.

It will close early today. Go now!! If it's not to far away you'll beat the peak time (mid afternoon).

Go now! Near closing time is much worse. Panic buying sets in, queues get bigger and your fellow shoppers get even more rude & savage!!

I've been to IKEA once in my life. My "friend" suggested it would be a pleasant Saturday afternoon trip. I should have known better when I saw a mother and daughter arguing almost to the point of violence over some smashed candles in the car park.

I guard my IKEA candles more than my expensive ones because I am never going back.

Enjoy!

Oh, "friend" also told me it would take an hour, tops, to get round.

4 hours later I staggered out of the basement trying to push two trolleys whilst wearing a sombrero.

Depends which IKEA. The Cardiff one isn’t too bad even at weekends.
Once you get there have a look around then go to the cafe. After you’ve had that break you’ll cope better with the actual shopping bit.

I only ever go at opening time on a week day. I would never ever ever venture there at the weekend. Nothing is that important, surely?

Afternoon is worse. Much worse. But it's ok once you're in - parking is the problem!

Good luck!

I got sidetracked and now it’s too late isn’t it?
I’ll hit the “I’m bored; let’s go to Ikea “ crowd.

Tomorrow evening it is then.
I’ll have a longer list by then

Can you get me a toddler table and chairs whilst you're there? I've been putting off going for weeks.
