Don't you just love the crazy names IKEA give to their products. It being Monday, and Day Off, we went up to the Nottingham branch, ostensibly to buy a new shower curtain for the redecorated bathroom. We came back without one, but still managed to buy other stuff. I got some of the new fabrics - planning to do some sewing for my sister-in-law soon, another 99p cache pot, a picture for the bathroom, and some more Dinera china. We use Dinera as our everyday stuff, and this was so pretty. We also purchased 102 picture frames - but these were not for personal use, you understand.
It is April, and I am already planning the activities for our C
hildren's Holiday Bible Club in August! Hence the acquisition of craft materials.
Having begun the day with free coffees in IKEA ['Family Cardholders' don't pay for drinks] we then came back down the M1 and exchanged two vouchers for free tea in M&S. Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch!
I decided I really ought to try out the new crockery, and remembered there were some spring rolls lurking at the back of the freezer. Our menu tonight therefore;
Spring Rolls, Vegetable Chow Mein, Egg Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Pork - plus soy sauce for dipping and Spring Onion Garnish - not bad consider
ing it was thrown together in a very short space of time from ingredients which I just had in fridge and cupboard. Eat your heart out Delia!
The Treacle Pudding will have to wait till tomorrow, I think.
Only 102 frames? Surely you needed more than that! Just this weekend I aquired 212 frames. And those are for personal use, unfortunately.
