Valentines Day

Harvey and I had discussed Valentines Day previous to the day...and it was decided that it was for "schmucks" and waaaayyyy too commercialised etc. SO on the day, I gave Harvey a gift of lamb dinner with the trimmings and some chocolate. HIS gift to me was time... he was taking me to IKEA!! Woo hoo !

So on our appointed day, we were up early and out ! Saturday is normally our food shopping day - so we boycotted that for the Ikea car park instead. SO glad we got there early because we got parking, underground shaded area, straight away ! Too awesome. The second "woo hoo" moment of the day was breakfast : bacon, eggs, chipolata sausage, beanies and a hash brown for $1.95 ! BARGAIN ! I was almost tempted to go get seconds ! The third "woo hoo" moment was being able to walk straight up to the first stand we saw and pick up EXACTLY what I wanted straight away ! But what where is  the fun in that I ask? Poor Harv was dutifully dragged up, down and around the Ikea floor plan while I poked, prodded and open/closed cupboards, tables, chairs and anything else that took my fancy. What FUN ! I got a few bits and bots and within an hour and a half we were done.

Best Valentines Day pressie ever. I'm thinking we should do this again ! :)
