We are now entering the realms of the unwell...

Took a sick day - by the time I had to get up, I'd only had about two hours light sleep and I know for a fact that with 5 hours of passive meetings, today isn't going to be very productive. I think IKEA made me ill - perhaps I should sue?

It's a nice day. Sunny and all that. Oh - my seeds came too:


Honesty: Introduced from Europe some 400 years ago and being particularly popular in Victorian times, Honesty is well known for the silvery, moon-like remains of the seed cases that are so useful for drying and using in arrangements. Attractive bright purple flowers, May to July. 2½ ft.

Vegetable Spaghetti, Winter Squash, Gourd: This is a fascinating and interesting item. Looking and grown, as easily, just like a plump, pale yellow Marrow, the mature fruits are boiled for about 20 minutes and then cut in half. And, hey presto – you have a plateful of spaghetti to do with as you would that pasta, such as serve with a meat or tomato sauce or just with butter and seasoning.


Might make myself a new garden related user-pic :)

Hope you feel better soonly! I reckon you would'nt be the first person IKEA made sick....it makes me sick quite a lot :D

Yeah - I don't work Wednesdays so I should be fine when I get back. It's about 60% sickness, 40% lack of sleep - if it were just one or the other, I'd come in. And yeah - IKEA is vile. I got so pissed off last night I just slumped on one of their sofas and groaned "I hate it here", and some other poor woman who was walking past said she did too :)

...and still we go to replace that plate rack for the drainer, and the cheap glasses and crocks! I dunno love/hate IKEA!

That's exactly it - love/hate! Theoretically, I loathe the place, but then I also hate paying twice as much somewhere else.
