You end up spending loads of money yet you never come back with the thing you originally went for.

Went earlier for a mirror, found the mirror we saw in the catalogue on display and didn't like it, but found another one. The mirrors are in the warehouse, but on the way there we got an extendable shaving mirror, a soap dispenser, a curtain pole and fixings and end gubbins and curtain rings. I had to stop Mrs Wak buying wall lights, bread knives, chairs and a couple of other things too. When we finally get to the warehouse they're out of stock of the feckin mirror and we have to go back again:mad: One thing's for sure, I'm going back for the mirror on my own and not taking the bride - it will be cheaper that way;)

Leave your wallet in the car:D:D:D:D:D

If you are going for something specific then take the exact amount of cash and no more;)

I went, now my house looks like one of those IKEA show rooms:rolleyes:

Now worried as everytime I see my friends they ask me if I have the IKEA Gold/Platipus card yet:rolleyes:

When I go I always seem to end up with a bag of 200 'tea lights' because "ooh, they're cheap".

It's always full of ****-heads slapping each other's children too.
