FFS

I have located the photos that I took on holiday in France with my son. They are on my Dads PC, so sometime this weekend I will be going round to copy them to a CD and uploading to here.

I am off to Ikea on Friday to get some furniture for the house. We had ordered a couple of wardrobes from Argos but they kept delaying the time they would be delivered so I have canceled that order. We had been look for furniture for my son, his mum wanted something specific and could we find it not a hope until we found this little shop and saw exactly what she was looking for, it is basically a mini wardrobe and draws for kids to use but the set would have come to roughly £500 so I decided that no we will not be doing that so his furniture will also be coming from Ikea. The problem for me is that Ikea is quite a few miles away for me and that they don't deliver to my part of Kent at the moment and as the car I drive is a saloon we have no space to fit anything so I have hired a van, which you would think is easy, nope not for me.

I wanted to pick the van up Saturday go to Ikea and load up, then unload back home and drop the van off, but couldn't do that as the van rental place closes at 12 meaning I would have to have the van for two days at the two day price, which with my calculations meant I should have brought my sons furniture, so I rang another place and they are open all day Saturday but have no vans, dam it, so I asked if I could hire one Friday (I had a look at the ikea site and they close at 10pm) and drop it off first thing Saturday morning, luckily they have a van and yes I can do that but it has to be back before 8am, which it will be as I will drop it off as soon as i unload Friday night.

What a drama just to get furniture.

Interesting blog. I'm going to move to another flat and I will need to use van hire service to transport all my stuff! Usually before I used my father's van but few month ago he sold it!
