Friday

I slept well last night despite the wind, which raged all night and is still blowing a hoolie out there today. I was woken a few times by the noise but each time, went back to sleep quickly. My retail therapy tired me out!

So as promised, here's what I bought in IKEA yesterday ...

For the kitchen | a splash guard for the frying pan, three pots for herbs (but now think I should have got a bigger size!), pasta bowls to match my plates, and some silicone muffin cases. My impulse buy was the paper napkins ... they weren't on the list but I don't have any, so will be used.

For the living room | a pink and cream throw.

For the bathroom | three white face cloths and a loo brush.

For the bedroom | coat hangers and shoulder shapers for when I get round to sorting out my clothes (this may encourage me to get on with it!).

and a fitted single sheet for the spare bedroom. The four smaller boxes belong with the two larger boxes and will be assembled into two bedside cabinets for my own bedroom. The cabinets are white and the only choice of the smaller boxes was this brown or dark blue, neither of which are correct. I can use the small boxes for gifts or maybe somewhere else in the house so will look around for alternatives in the correct colour.
