ahhhhaaaaa...(exhale, with a sigh of relief)

Good ole Ikea stayed open till 11pm - this is the one at Alex. This store normally stays open only till 10pm and we were at B's place for Justine's dinner birthday party so it was really convenient for us to get there after the party.

And why the sigh of relief? We bought the last of the big essentials for the home over there. Not that we are a fan of Ikea furniture but there was an item (or two!) that had previously caught out eye. After days of going all around Spore, we could not find anything that surpassed them.

And why the urgency of the purchase? We have visitors over Christmas and I feel some pressure to put up a good show.

Insyallah, everything will arrive at their agreed time and the visit should go well.
