IKEA in pictures for Alesha

These boxes are BARNSLIGThe pink ones are fabric covered card, and are STRIKT. We went for pink for our princess, but they also come in beige, chocolate, and lilac.

The 50ml syringes are in the tin Mog's new boots came in (no photo of the boots as she's in school and I'm not!).The princess box on the right has Mog's incontinence supplies in - it didn't come from IKEA but was a gift last Christmas. Mog's special formula milk now fits into the bottom of her wardrobe, because everything which didn't belong to her is now in one of these boxeswhich are SAMLA and have rather handy castors on the bottom. They will be dumped stored in the garage on the new shelving Bob built last week, and I have enough of them to store all the spare feed and incontinence supplies too, just bringing out one pack at a time instead of having a months' worth or more kicking about the house.

This is Mog's new lampshade, or will be when I have managed to get it installed.It is a KAXIG pendant lamp. And will go beautifully with her overall princess theme and castle. The one thing we failed to get was a CD rack to go under her new CD playerwhich looks pretty good at the edge of her mural. Note to self: get those cables tidied up properly. The rack will ideally fit down the right hand side of the wall and cover the gap.

Then we also bought these smaller GLIS boxesand these magnetic tins
which I'm not entirely sure what to do with! Sorry, can't find the tins online.

Finally, a pic for Trina tooHere is the newest section of fencing Bob has built.

In less pictorial news, having confirmed our appointment yesterday, I got up long before dawn to get Little Fish ready to go. Mum took time off work to wait for the school bus with Mog, Little Fish had a little weep at the earliness of the hour, but we did nevertheless manage to leave on time, find the perfect parking space, and get to the outpatient's department in plenty of time to grab an Xray before our appointment.

So I suppose it was inevitable that the secretary could find no record whatsoever of Little Fish's appointment, telling us instead that we had an appointment on the 15th. Now this is when Mog has an appointment with the same Dr, so I suspect someone has helpfully combined both appointments for us. That much makes sense. What does not make sense is not bothering to inform us (or the appointments department) of the change in plan.

We drive home, steaming. However as we get towards home I realise I can now drop Little Fish off at school for the morning, and therefore have two hours to myself a whole week earlier than I thought I would. What will I do with all this free time? The laundry? The rest of the tidying up from yesterday? Or pour a nice cup of coffee and catch up online for a bit? I'm guessing the appearance of this posting will answer that for you all!

If anyone has suggestions for what to do with the magnetic tins and GLIS boxes I'll be interested. We're now looking for a nice shallow CD rack still, and some sort of storage solution for the bathroom. Mission organise has begun, one room at a time.
