Can we go to Ikea Mum?

Dear Ikea, how you taunt me by opening the biggest store in the Southern Hemisphere 2km from my house. You know i have a special spot in my heart for ikea after my year in sweden. Why do you make it so easy with your 50 cent icecreams and free kids playzone, no parents admitted to cone here?

On the other hand it's a great year to be doing my buy no furniture challenge. I have time to browse. And I still get to buy 2kg of meatballs every 2 weeks and eat at the ikea cafe which is childproof.

The boys chant to go to ikea whenever we drive past. we've been watching it get built for months. Yesterday the boys were playing we're building ikea. This morning Toby started on his own little we're going to ikea song. Oh dear. Maybe the love of ikea is in the genes!
