Although it was raining this morning, my wife & I had a lovely afternoon 
walking around Cardiff Bay in the sunshine eating ice cream, as well as 
drinking coffee overlooking the water. This made up for a 15 minute 
queue to pay at IKEA earlier.

In some things I have no choice, and this was one.

I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. 
Tomorrow isn't looking good either.

Yes... but it's an even worse experience than going to a store.

It's amazing how people will put up with a bad shopping experience
because of a trendy name.

I've never been to IKEA cos I've heard about the ludicrous checkout
system.

Saying that , one of our teachers went and bought some nice carpet
circles for the kids to sit on.

We were buying things in anticipation of daughter going off to uni for 
the first time. It all depends on Thursday's results now.

I know the feeling. We're waiting to find out how God-daughter number 2 
got on, and she's getting decidedly nervous.

What I object to is having to walk round the whole bloody store in their one 
way system when I only want one thing.

There are little doorways tucked away where you can disappear from one
area of the store and immediately re-appear in another, rather like the
port key portal thingies in Harry Potter.

Reminds me of when I took a 3 year old boy to Madame 2swords.
He was petrified of the Dr Who section, but we had to go through it,
hood over head, eyes closed and hands over ears.

IKEA reminds you of Mme Tusauds? Do you suggest walking through IKEA
with hood over head, eyes closed and hands over ears? Would it help?

I suggest not going in unless you have a couple of spare days.

I suppose there must be a good/bad time to go in, but there isn't one
near me.
