These are cool..."based on the original 17th century Dutch canal houses", storage boxes..."white on the outside so you can decorate it yourself in order to make your own little street with the inside printed in bold colours." I think I would leave them white...3 for 23quid...might just have to make me a little purchase.

Back to Reality!

Back at work today (boo!) after a wonderful holiday that really seemed to last forever...had a fantastic time :) We arrived in Dublin on Friday evening and as we had a bank holiday yesterday, we had a nice long weekend to get back into the swing of things! Made some brownies (a last hurrah before I start trying to lose the few pounds piled on whilst away!). We also went to IKEA which just opened recently in Dublin. We were very focused and knew exactly what we wanted so were not too bothered by the teeming throngs of people and managed to get in and out quite quickly! So, I mentioned before that I needed to do something with our hallway. It is very short and narrow and it was a mess...see before and after below. Am very pleased to have all our shoes and bicycle gear neatly tucked away now!

And just because I really like this picture of Oscar and Sadie!
