I'll see what its like when I have it. All options, including firewood, are still open until then.

Today I picked up an IKEA pull-out shoe rack. Unfortunately I think I lost a couple of fittings when I picked it up "off the top of the wheelie bin in the carport". However, I've ordered the missing bits from IKEA and when they arrive, I'll be able to assemble it. Needless to say, I'm not intending to use it for shoes but hoping that it will create an extra shelf in a kitchen cupboard.
OUT went a bag of books for the Morries Charity Book shelf.

Tomorrow its cot day.

The cot has been assembled and is getting very wet!

Today's IN - a Pure DAB clock/alarm/radio that's about a third the size of my old clock radio. Still trying to set up the Presets Hoping to never need to set the alarm as that may be a step too far for a simple chicken. Apart from the size, another positive is that the clock resets itself automatically - that's a twice yearly and power cuts job I won't need to do again.

What an exciting life you live!

Sometimes, its so exciting I need a lie-down,

^^^ in the cot??

Obviously!! I'm not very tall.

You'll need a step ladder to get in!

I'm getting ready for my next adventure - although I've been to these houses before so they're not a complete surprise!
At the first house "On the step" will be an IKEA Trofast box will fit into the empty space on the Trofast unit I picked up a few weeks ago; also a set of brushes in all shapes and sizes for cleaning those hard to reach corners, ;like plugholes (not ear'oles", all in an IKEA Ranbow bag.
The second house, just round the corner from the first "Push the porch door gently ) will be 4 cookery books, including Delia's "Cheat" which apparently uses shop bought food (like tins, Vinny) in easy meals.
The third house is an OUT - the glass Bodum teapot that was useless for herb tea - so I'm delivering it to the lady who gave me all the spaghetti etc, because she doesn't drive.
Another OUT is a huge green glass bottle/?carboy that used to have a terrarium in it - now it only grows dust.

Breaking news!!
Just had a text from Royal Mail to say that there is a delivery on the way from IKEA Slovakia!!!! I thought the missing bits would be posted by the local IKEA about 5 miles away, not from Slovakia. That's the Wonder of IKEA.
