The problems of going to Ikea alone....

It is scary that the main time I have missed having someone was at Ikea. And no, it wasn't seeing all the couples or families walking around picking furniture together. It was at checkout, when I realised that although I had put back all the plates and glasses, I still had far too much stuff for 1 person to carry (or even 2 ppl to carry). In truth, I didn't miss a bf at that point, I would have been happy with a friend, or a gay boy to help me. Being friendless sucks, especially furniture shopping. Oh and as you can imagine I looked stunningly gorgeous while in Ikea (NOT, you all know how little effort I put into wkend wear - especially when lugging round furniture) So as predicted I run into the one hot guy from the office - not that he's my type (he's the office stud), would it have been too much for me to be looking vaguely decent...
So I got the keys to the flat saturday night (about 7pm) and slept on the sofa bed. Sunday morning woke up early, did brunch, went to ikea(ordered a bed-arriving wednesday), dumped my stuff, went back to the shops, bought my rice cooker and kettle, carried the stuff back up the hill to my house. Went to the supermarket, and made a very yummy dinner of marinated steak, vegetables and rice in my rice cooker - was great. Although my kitchen is tiny!
Today I did a grocery shop for essentials, and then met my real estate for lunch. She took me and a couple from work (who she also got a flat for) out for the yummiest vietnamese meal. I think it was the best meal I had so far. It will definately be one of the places I take guests. I am totally stuffed - yet bought a coffee to use the internet - can't wait til I get broadband in the flat!

Oh and I love how all the mobile phone shops are next to each other here, it makes it so much easier to compare prices. I'm sure I have loads more to write, but theres a really obnoxious kid harrassing me, so I better go! More soon...
