I have been trying to keep busy while I wait for the news that we have exchanged contracts (still not yet...), lest I go completely potty sitting next to the phone and or refreshing my e-mail inbox. There are, of course, lots of things to do in preparation for the move, but we've got to the point where most of them are contigent on our move date and I don't want to book them until I am absolutely certain exactly what day things are happening.
Occasionally, though, I do things that aren't exactly move-related, just for fun. Today, I went to Ikea (kind of fun...). Ikea on a weekday is a vastly different country to Ikea on a weekend, and the only way I find it tolerable. I browsed through all of the showrooms, got some interesting ideas on things we could do in our house, was impressed by the inexpensive wardrobes and picked up what I had come for plus a few random extra things that caught my eye. I also found C's Christmas present, which was a pleasant surprise.
When I checked out, my bill came to £19.10. That's right, I spent an hour in Ikea and spent less than £20. I definitely think I get a medal or a certificate for that.
