My Sister redecorated her room this weekend and to be honest I am very jealous! Plain magnolia walls, or 'mangolia' as she calls it, and new wooden flooring. Doesn't sound too exciting when you say it like that but there is something about making a room look completely fresh and new that is so satisfying.
My jealousy has lead to me wanting to turn my room around too. A new bed has already been ordered and today I went shopping for new bedding and curtain, although very unsuccessfully I might add.
At the moment I have a desk and shelf unit attached to the wall but for a change I want to rip it down and buy a new nice posh desk. And I did just this last night. Unfortunately it never ended up coming home with me.
So me, Alex (boyfriend) and Lauren (sister) are in Ikea at the checkouts. We buy the desk and other bits and bobs picked up along the way, a toy rat for Alex's dog for example, and head for the God that is the hotdog stand. Sooooo tasty!!
The we head over to the pick up desk, where they would bring my desk out the warehouse. All is going well until we get the desk outside and realise that my new little polo does not have the space required for such a large flat pack item. Bummer.
However I wasn't defeated yet. Down goes the back seat and the pushing and heaving begins. Unfortunately, no luck.
So, we head back inside, where they are about to close. I ask if they can hold it until tomorrow when I can come back with a different car. Answer = no.
A refund it is then. So we travel all the way there, buy the thing, only to have it refunded back onto my card, to go back a different day with a different car. What a palava! And a wasted journey...
