Queue

I had several plans when I woke up this morning. Four hours in ikea was not one of them!

We were always going shopping for a new desk. We found a new desk. We had to pay for it before we collected it, but only the top. We had to pay for the legs and the other bits separately. We had to queue for a trolley first as the store was mobbed.

We got our bits and went to the tills which had a mammoth queue at them. We got through that. We then had to queue for the lift. Finally we get back to the car and find out the table too does not fit no matter how we try! So we had to take it back.

There was a queue at customer returns.

By this point we were starving. So we queued for a hot dog and ice cream (the best bit of ikea). We were not leaving without a desk.

So off we went back to the office section of the store and jotted down the number of the deal we knew would fit. We rejoined the trolley queue. We got out bits. Rejoined the mammoth till queue and paid. The queue at the lift was a little bit smaller than last time.

Mercifully we got the desk in the car and at 4pm we headed home.

It's a good job I love my wife .... I do like her little tests of my patience.
