I'm at IKEA with the family (yes I know...)

[Pascha]

Just about to hit the marketplace on the way out. What shall I throw in the big yellow bag?

I love the Kladdaka cake, a sticky chocolate cake, which is nice eaten hot or cold. Also a packet of hotdogs and their ginger thins.

Ds1 has already conned us into a large cuddly tiger.

Socktopus.

A mega pack of candles, obligatory pot plant and don't forget the frozen meatballs from the food section.

Food bags. Lots of different sizes. I'm all out but can't bring myself to go there just for those.

Big bag of tealight candles?

Ziploc bags, the red ones and the grey ones. Brilliant!

Do they have any vegan hot dogs? Plus a bag of Daims. Make that 2. Cam you fit in a chopping board, paper napkins, and some floating shelves?

Don't grab vegetable balls instead of meatballs as I did, we were highly disappointed.

Oh and obviously a pocket full of mini pencils and a few paper tape measures.
I hope you managed to fit in a row when you got lost trying to find the escalator?

The massive packets of flannels are dirt cheap, and the fabric folding boxes are excellent. Don't forget the ginger biscuits or the large bars of diam chocolate.

Do they still do the pink flamingos glasses? I have some as a tribute to John Walters.

I spend far too much time in Ikea.

And a large stuffed shark is essential, ours is called Fergal after Fergal Sharkey. We are so witty in the Unsung household. We also have a black plague rat.

Ikea have the most bizzare children's toys ever.

Trofast mini wall storage
2 X hanging toy storage
Various lidded fabric storage boxes
Algot shelving for the futility room
1 large cuddly tiger

And not a single tealight.

Definitely the frozen meatballs, the jams are quite good quality as well (randomly) and all the biscuits!

If they have the rhubarb squash in, you should get it. Their crisps are also delightfully salty.

Freedom!!. Off to burger king now (cos the boys hate meatballs and the cafe was shambolic)
