Farewell Croydon; Ikea, how will I survive without you!

[jodee]

Please indulge me ... just wanted to say a 'goodbye' to anyone I've met at Croydon/London/Brighton meet-ups over the last 3 years; I'm a bornand bred Croydon gal, but on Saturday I'm off to the Dorset seaside after 37 (shhhh!!) years of having moved no further than two streets from my childhood home.

Left my job yesterday and battled home on a packed train with 2 huge bunches of flowers (they KNOW that I'm moving on Saturday, I'm hardly going to be able to take them with me and I've packed all my vases!)

And once I'm in Dorset there will be no Ikea for 100 miles in either direction!!!

Moores Valley is fab, we love it.

Half day closing is rubbish though.
Pension day is Monday
Boscome library always smells of BO

{There's a 10K race at Moors Valley soon, I'll get me coat)

Seriously, it's great, we've had some fab afternoons there - just make sure you take LOADS of change for the car park machines. I guess it won't be too bad now but in the summer it's £5 in coins !

Congratulations on the move Jodee, and as my MIL lives in Alum Chine on the clifftop, I will be spying down at you on the beach when we visit her! (Or lets just have a late sring/early summer Bournemouth meetup, pref. early on before it gets too crowded)

Cam that sounds like a good idea. We could do a beach picnic (need a contingency plan for rain though)
