Today I was reminded of their program called "Fist Pump Moment" when people phone in about something great that happened to them.
I had one of those today!
We went to Ikea to buy a few things, among them a sofa bed for the other guest room to accommodate a friend who is coming with my parents in December to spend Christmas with us.

I had seen what I wanted on an earlier visit, but needed my husband's help and a trailer to carry the heavy items that wouldn't fit in my car.
I found the exact same sofa bed (Brimnes day bed) we were about to buy, already assembled at at a great price of $199 instead of $349 - a saving of $150, plus less time spent assembling it. And we still reduced it by $30 with our "Ikea family" discount.
Fist pump moment don't you think?

My husband returned the other items back to their shelves and we asked for help loading the bed onto two trolleys and then outside one of their staff members helped to load it onto the trailer.
On the way home I called our son to come to our house and help unload it and put it in the bedroom.
Now to put that room in order...I have 3 more weekends to get the house in order!
In the evening we had a celebratory dinner with friends who have just sold their house.
Have a lovely weekend!
