No matter where we are in the world, Titanic still makes Tracy blub like a baby and assembling Ikea furniture is never straightforward!
We bought a nice new chair and foot stool (poof) from Ikea this morning and they delivered it this afternoon – very good service! Unfortunately the holes to fit two parts together (the base and the back) didn’t line up and the best that the customer service team could offer was for someone to call us back in a couple of days – bad service!
At first I was going to wait but then the call of the drill was too much and I decided to make my own holes! Thankfully (surprisingly), nothing went horribly wrong and we now have a lovely, comfy new chair. It’s big and squishy and covered in a nice brown corduroy type material. It’s in the family room and it’s made the room feel much better.
During the stress of the Ikea furniture assembly Harry and Toby watched the “sinking ship” film aka Titanic. It kept them quiet for most of the afternoon however I think it may have been a touch wasted on them as they seemed to enjoy their mum blubbing like a baby more than the film itself!
Roll on tomorrow and Independence Day. That’s not wasted on them either – it’s all about the fireworks!
We also got a new dog for Toby (he now has the complete dog collection (Sid, Arnold and Stanley), a Seattle Seahawks outfit for Harry’s bear, a new Pandora charm for Tracy’s bracelet and I got the softest, loveliest dressing gown ever! Yay!
