Favour!

If anyone local would like to drive me to an IKEA (I'm told the Bristol one is easiest to get to) in return for petrol money and a meal while there, I could buy teeny weeny wardrobes for our new bedroom layout and have them delivered within a week. Or I can buy them online and have them delivered within a month or so, which is also fine. I just thought I'd ask.

Would the Croydon or Wembley one not be easier/cheaper?

Apparently the Bristol one is easier to drive to, and delivery is about the same cost either way. So I'm told by drivers and IKEA, anyway.

The easiest and quickest on public transport is Southampton.

I need to check and confirm, but I think we're coming down to Reading/Wokingham on the weekend of 22nd/23rd. Conceivably we could get stuff on your behalf in the Bristol IKEA and bring it to Reading with us, since we're coming anyway? I will check, though, because we might be in Devon instead...

Po-o-ossibly but we're looking at wardrobes over 2m high, so though they'll be flatpack, they will also be HUGE. It's a nice thought. You could drop in and say hi anyway :)

Oh, so they likely won't fit in the car - it's a beast of an old Citroen but we need the back seat to put the baby in, and I doubt we could get them in the boot. Oh well! Plans allowing we'd love to come and say hello anyway (or indeed some other time if plans don't allow, Reading's an hour's direct train for us so it's easy enough).

You mean local to Reading, right, not local to Bristol?

[ailbhe]

Oh yes!

just read this, maybe we can borrow Ruth&Jon's car? Mine definitely won't fit 2m of wardrobe (we just squeaked 1.8m of MDF in for a v uncomfortable 5 mins)
