Flat pack marathon, stage 1

Today we head to Ikea, for what we suspect may be the first of several excursions. On arrival I find that the very annoying Ikea website has eaten my shopping list when I added a couple more things this morning. The new items are there, but the list of some 30 bits I had painstakingly assembled over past weeks is gone, gone without trace. This makes me extremely grumpy.
Resorting to pen and bits of paper, we painstakingly reassemble the list of components to make up the TV cabinet. In the kitchen area we are frustrated again because the waste bin stacks were not in the place that correspond to the shelf labels with their price and description, which is all I remember. But with the help of our phones we manage to look up the website, find the product code and locate the ones that fit in the kitchen drawer. We select some more small kitchen storage items, and then feel the need for a break.
After lunch and coffee we feel much better and go to tackle the task of recreating my wardrobe designs, this time with some help from an Ikea person, which gets the job done much more quickly.
On our way to lunch we check out the day bed for the spare room, and the dropside gateleg table we decided on eons ago. The day bed is not in stock, so it and the wardrobes will be bought and delivered together. We meander through the rest of Ikea collecting a couple of doormats en route, then manage to pick all the bits for the TV cabinet successfully. Trolley them through the checkout and out to the car, fit them all in, then head to the warehouse pickup to collect the table, which we ordered with help from the lady in wardrobes and paid for at the checkout.
Wedge that in with the rest and head home, where we spend a happy couple of hours erecting the table. We are delighted to find it fits just nicely under the window as planned, and looks great.

Tomorrow we plan to start the next stage of our flat-pack assembly marathon with the TV cabinet, then the broom cupboard and two more chairs picked up from Fantastic Furniture yesterday.
