Ikea galore

Last Monday found me back in my favourite place - Ikea.

In fact I ended up there 3 times over the last 10 days!! What can I say? Ikea makes me happy :-)

The first time I was there was with my friend Audry. It´s always good being at Ikea with her. We had a fun night with lots of shopping (mostly for Audry) lots of chatter, lots of laughter and a Burger meal at McDonalds!

Second time I went to Ikea was with Andrew and Camilla. They wanted a new dining room table so they had asked Kristian for help in getting it home in the car. I off course, had to get in on the action when I heard it was Ikea they were going to.

Third time I was in Ikea it was with Leah. I collected her from work one evening and since Kristian wasn´t home we decided we would have a cosy girls evening and where better to have that than Ikea! haha

In between all the visits to Ikea I had time to visit some friends. One night I went to see my friend Jette, we ordered Chinese and had a cosy time.  I got to play Granny for an evening. I played with her kids, read them bedtime stories, sang them good night songs and tucked them into bed. It was sooo much fun. (I miss having small kids) Once the kids were in bed, Jette and I spent the rest of the evening chatting on the sofa.

I got to play cleaning lady for my mother-in-law. Her back is still giving her trouble so one day after work I drove down to see her and cleaned her house. Not that it looked like it needed cleaning, but it made my mother-in-law feel good to know it was dusted, hoovered and floors washed. I also got the kitchen cupboards washed down and the bathroom also got a going over.  Kristian came by after work (off course when all the cleaning was done!!) and we sat with his mum chatting for a while before heading home.

Last Saturday I spent the day with my neighbour. Kristian had his last go-kart race (Halleluja!!!) for the season so I made the most of my last Saturday without him. Laura and I headed out for a girly day out. We started at McDonalds with our Egg McMuffins, then we had fun going around furniture and home decor shops. We ended the afternoon  in this huge gardening shop that we love. Every year they do this absolutely fabulous exhibition for Christmas. I wasn´t expecting it to be there already, but it was!! Laura and I got sooo excited! They have like a Christmas village that you walk around and each house has different themed decorations. One house will have all gold decor, another all red and everything can be bought. I bought two new decorations!

We ended the afternoon with hot chocolate and cake.

Now I have holiday!! One whole week off work!! It´s time to get organised and ready for winter. It´s time to also go for long walks, then back home for hot chocolate! I love this time of year!! It´s my favourite!
