Is anyone going to IKEA in the near future?

[Miaou]

I want to get hold of some cheap/thin flannels to make into reusable baby wipes, and assume that IKEA would be a good place to find them (can't see them online though).

Does anyone know if they sell such a thing? And if so would anyone be willing to pick up and post me half a dozen (for which I will reimburse, obviously!)

Or has anyone got any other good suggestions for reusable baby wipes? I know the nappy lady sells them but p&p costs are a bit ott for a bit of towelling IMO.

Baby not due for another three weeks yet, so no desperate hurry....

Another slight hijack, sorry but has anyone else heard the rumours about a new Ikea store planned for Portsmouth?

bensmum, don't worry about it! You had enough on your plate last week!!! Hope you are getting to enjoy your w/e as well as work hard!

Yorkiegirl - that would be great! I will CAT you.

oops - had already CATed you before I saw your last message - have now emailed you too!

Ikea facecloths are called Krama and are £3 for 10.
We went there last week and I've just checked the receipt!

Satine - iirc there is going to be one down your way at some stage. I think it's all in the planning stages, still looking for sites. I'm still on sick leave atm but when I'm back I'll try and remember to check (I work at Croydon IKEA)

Thanks serenity!

Ok for those of you that are interested this is a list of new UK IKEA stores and their proposed opening dates. Please bear in mind that anything and everything can change with this so don't yell at me when they go off schedule

Milton Keynes 01/06
Coventry 08/06
Stockport 10/06
Oldham 11/06
Swindon 01/07
Leeds 05/07

I understand that they are proposing a development by Hillingdon station in Uxbridge as well which will incorporate affordable housing, but I'd imagine that will be 08 or 09.
