World Domination in 7 Easy Steps

I have discovered Sweden's plan for world domination.

It's so simple and yet incredibly cunning that it simply can't fail.

Step 1. The world buys our delectable Swedish chocolate.



Step 2: The world will buy our impeccably designed and yet incredibly comfortable modular furniture.

Step 3: The world will settled themselves into our impeccably designed and yet incredibly comfortable modular furniture with a cup of coffee.


Step 4: The world can't have coffee with out vast quantities of our delectable Swedish chocolate.




Step 5: The world will eat vast quantities of our delectable chocolate whilst sitting in our impeccably designed and yet incredibly comfortable modular furniture.

Step 6: The world will realise that they have eaten too much of our delectable Swedish chocolate and now their roly poly, lardy pudding bums are stuck fast in our impeccably designed and yet incredibly comfortable modular furniture.



Step 7: Take over the world. Mwhahahahahahaha.

You have been warned!!!

What mummy did...

On Chloe's first day of school Mummy was taken to Ikea and treated by Daddy.

He bought me some gorgeous funny little hippo print cotton...



Another lovely cotton covered with little sketchy type people, bunnies, ducks, frogs all going about their business...




A lovely orange striped heavy weight cotton.




This is my favourite, another heavy weight printed orange cotton canvas ...




And on the way out the door I also treated myself. For the sake of complete honest, I actually bought two bags of Dime Bars and two of the Marabou Dime chocolate bars... and a big box of ginger biscuits..... and a bag of cinnamon rolls.... and two packets of the marabou cups.... yes I'm a heffer.




And because he accidentally broke my last lampshade, he treated me to a new one.




Its embroidered with tons of flowers and bees and butterflies and I love it.



Now I'm off to pick up Chloe from her second day at school.

WFMW - Flat Pack Tools

Its time again for Works for Me Wednesday over at We are THAT Family.

If you're anything like me and you love Ikea and all things flat pack, chances are you've gathered up a fair few of these little tools over the years.

And chances are that you will need them again at some point, especially for kids furniture.

You know the pieces I'm talking about.

That fantastic crib you bought which can have the mattress up nice and high to make it easier for you in the early days and then nice and low once your child seems ready to scale Everest stand on their own two feet and then, as if that wasn't enough, the crib finally can be changed into a toddler bed complete with low guard rails to stop them from rolling out of the bed.

So you're going to need to be able to find those tiny little tools at least twice, long after you've put the bed up in the first place, three if you count taking the thing down to get it out of the room once your child outgrows it. And all of this over the course of about five years.

So what's the easiest way to guarantee that you'll be able to find exactly the tiny little tool you're looking for three years after you last saw it.

Simple.

Once you finish building your beautiful new piece of furniture and you've finished the bottle of wine necessary to build flat pack, just take a strip of packing tape or any kind of sticky tape and stick the tool underneath or to the back of the piece of furniture.

Only you will know its there, safe and sound, ready for the next time you need it.

Now won't you sleep better tonight.?

I know I will.
