I absolutely love Ikea, but how can they callously throw these poor gnomes off their lawn, which is rightfully their home, without the slightest bit of warning? And then the poor mites are massacred in a battle to survive to Swedish invasion. And we all thought the Swedes were a peaceful people. It's always the quiet ones you need to watch out for.
In other news, Fit4less want our money AND our self esteem in tatters. Ta.
And Chris has become the Gandalf of coving. We now have it in the bedroom and living room, with enough left over to do the downstairs loo as well.
The key to success really is to use no nails.

The next thing I want for the living room is a ceiling rose and a nice light that doesn't hang too low - while Chris and I are tiny we seem to have much taller friends and family. In our wedding pictures we're gonna need to stand on boxes to level things out.
We've now sent out the wedding invites and bought the materials to try to make my centre pieces. I'm going to be attempting to make 10x vintage hot air balloons for the tables, so watch this space next week to see how well that goes. It could end up more farts and gaffs than arts and crafts.
We also got a set of picture ledges from those gnome haters at Ikea for £8.25, so that we can display Chris' comic book collection in the spare room.
We really like them cos it means not drilling 8x individual holes into the walls and we can change them around without too much faff. I'll share a picture of the whole room when it stops resembling a recycling centre.
And we really need to buy a longer extension cable so we can mow the lawn, it's long enough for the cat to hide in (and who knows what else - there are probably a few Gnome refugees in there).
May the Fourth be with you.
