"we've only been to Ikea once. Every other time we attempt to go we have a row and go home  "
I think I'll start doing that from now on, I wonder if they'll be so kind and deliver me the other desk that I do want |

I go to IKEA approx twice a year, wonder around for about an hour, don't buy any thing but give the checkout person £100 as I leave the store and then eat at least three hot dogs! |

Men don't cry 
I might just drive there on the weekend. The desk I'll get is also like £50 cheaper too. |

"Go to IKEA, buys the wrong desk, the wrong desk is out of stock, so One arranges a home delivery...
Fuck my life  "
Last time we went to IKEA, it was to get stuff to furnish a student flat (pretty much from scratch). We arrived at 7pm and noted the closing time of 10.30pm. The optimist in me made a robust joke about not needing 3hrs+ of our lives to be spent inside. At 10.29pm, furiously driving round the Gemini Retail Park trying to find the separate pick up zone, having eaten no food, I realised the error of my ways. AND we still had to go to the flat to unload. There were no takeaways either - closed at 10  |

That's what happened! They told me to go to their extra warehouse where they keep some of the stock.
Went there and it was out of stock despite the fact it was in stock when I paid for it.
Well hopefully I'll work my way if I'm lucky if not another trip tomorrow |

They DID have the thingy my son wanted from the extra pick up zone (a fucking huge desk ) but they had all the bits for INSIDE the wardrobe, but not the outer four walls/top. And they had one mattress but not the second. So we had to go back too  |

There and to the left a bit |
"I love IKEA, I need to go, but I know I will buy so many things that I won’t be able to get them from car to house... and I hate the flat pack part! "
What?! 
Apart from the meatballs half way round the flat pack part is the best bit - all that slot part A in part B then turn it over to put part C in part D whilst balancing on one leg is brilliant - like a giant Lego set for adults - spent two blissful days putting all the bits for my daughters bedroom together when it was redecorated |

I've used IKEA for a pre-meet social before now
Ample parking, motorway accessible, somewhere to sit and have a coffee and a chat! And if he's OK putting in a lot of legwork for the modest reward of a hotdog, well, that's the kind of lover I'm after   |

I think we should have a social at an IKEA when it's safer, to at least get some pleasant memories of the place.
We can have snacks, play hide and seek etc. But I'm not going near to at main holiday |
