I've just been to the dentist. Check up, all good, £23 on the NHS.

But the dentist did a brilliant job of up selling and I seem also to have spent £230 on being fitted for teeth whitening trays and that's only half of the total cost!

I might buy a sports car tomorrow 😆

I went to Ikea to get a bookcase and came back with a bookcase, new dining table, several saucepans and a new husband.

IKEA sell husbands ! ?
Umm is there a range of models to choose from ?
Do I have to assemble him myself ? I am good at flat pack but a human ? What happens if I have a few nuts left over ? 😂

checks walet hmm, checks pockets nope , hunts down the back of the sofa , raids emergency pound coin stash , £11.53p snd a lot of fluff , I am guessing that won't be enough 😥

My dad once went out to buy a loaf of bread and came home with a Volvo estate (the old school wardrobe type).

That was a brilliant car, I loved it.

Is the husband Scandinavian with a somewhat silly name?

@ErrolTheDragon Who cares? ;-)
A great alternative to online dating!

I… I have questions. Was he in a flat pack for one? Were the instructions easy to follow?

I've seen a lot of husbands in there, usually looking bored mind you. I didn't realise they sold them though. Do they come with detailed instructions and an Allen Key for tightening nuts?

The only extra thing I got was this for filling up the screenwash in the car! Very proud of myself. 😊😂
