Can't believe I've not mentioned this already!

Most people who have come across this blog will have noted that I really like Ikea - for me it's great to have a store with such a vast choice of home furnishings all in one place, and have the option of cheap and cheerful to pricey and very nicey! (aw, that was a little too cheesy methinks!)

But one of my major gripes has been that our nearest one was in Wembly - at least an hour away (on a good day!) So our visits have been infrequent.

I am pleased to know that the new Milton Keynes store has opened earlier than expected, which means for us, a closer store without having to go anyplace near to London traffic.

We'll be visiting very soon.
