A very restrained shopping trip!

This morning I went to IKEA with my daughter to check out new beds and furniture for the grand children’s new bedrooms! We got there before 10 so it was very quiet going round which was so good compared to evening visits. I have not been there for over 2 years and noticed the vast increase in office type furniture for WFH I guess. Also the prices of furniture are not as cheap relative to other shops as they used to be.
However in the ‘marketplace’ there are still plenty of cheap items and I usually end up with lots of bits. Today my total bill was only £13.50…a record low. 4 dinner plates and 100 paper napkins. We have recently broken a couple of plates but nothing to match our white ones at home so thought black might be interesting. Lots of food photos in magazines are on black plates so we will see if we like them!
We decided what we need to buy and will do an online order to get it delivered.

A bit of a gloomy day with some showers this afternoon so a quick dog walk only.

What a shambles with the government with the chancellor being sacked … what next? I can’t see Liz Truss lasting very long as PM.
