Daughter and Boyfriend are still staying with us as they still are buying things for their New Apartment.
Settlement went Through Thursday and I picked up keys for them as they were still working and i took heaps of stuff they had bought and left in my SUV.
Yesterday was a 9am start with them and grandkids to IKEA for the day. What a Shit of a Place. All nicely set out and great stuff but PHUK buying from there,. Walked around for Hours and like a maze. Legs ached so much at end as Grandson pushed stacked trolley through isle after isle to the end when we needed 2 more trolleys to fill with heaps of pre packed beds, tables, wardrobes and Nuck Foes what else..
I only had an SUV not a Pantec. Anyway after getting a $1 Hot Dog on way out we tried to find the car. I remembered it was in Isle L
Never took note of the colour and of course PHUKING impossible task trying to find it as Car park as Large as Heathrow Airport.
After walking around for Hours laughing at all the Wuckfits That had left their lights on while inside store, We found it.
Completely Rooted at this stage we had to find the pick up bay where they were. FOUND IT EVENTUALLY.
Started Loading SUV but of course 1 Box was about 6 Metres long and needed the Windscreen removed to get the back door closed once the 4ookg of Payload was in tightly packed., This was great with all the weight in the back as they front wheels were almost off the ground and made driving a breeze as Steering so light but drifted a bit and we had to lean forward when turning corners,
Had to have car seats pulled all the way forward and knees around the ears which was actually very good as I never had to listen to the Strings of Mantovani on The radio my wife played on the way home.
Got home Via a Furniture shop stop to look look for lounges, Had to Unload and Take up the lift in her apartment and just as well i had my trolley as stuff was so heavy, Managed to get it all upstairs and Just as well her Boyfriend bought 2 Tool Kits as will wear 1 out putting all the shit together.
Daughter Invited All Our Family Over and 38 of her closest friends for a house warming party but every single one declined when they were asked to bring an Allen key and found out we’d been to IKEA,
Got home and had plans to cook noodles. PIZZA HOME DELIVERY was decided, Got a 6 Pack on way home to ease the pain.
Went to bed at 6.50pm Totally Rooted,
My Fitness level is shocking but I still for get I am 69 Now and still do everything Flat out,
Anyway. Had a Good Sleeps and only woke up screaming “Not another Bloody Isle” Twice in the night.
I did get leg cramps which were annoying. Up at 4am and Daughter asleep on the lounge as Kids in spare room and Boyfriend takes up Entire Queen Bed in the Front room.
They were very disapointed at IKEA when they found out that a King Size bed was the Largest Size as They wanted an ARMY Sized.
I am Busting for a Coffee but Kettle sounds like a steam train coming through a tunnel so I had better wait til she wakes up, Probably about 10am but Grandkids will come and Jump on her when I give the Siginal,
Great Day Planned Today doing PHUK all apart from Packing and Posting 3 sets sold on ebay yesterday.
A 9am Bowls viewing if not cancelled with the rain this morning.
