It’s been a few weeks since our last trip to IKEA and there isn’t really anything we must have from there right now…but when we bought our kitchen they had a special program going because a tax increase was going into effect here in Germany. This allowed us to get a 3% rebate from the purchase of the kitchen which comes as a gift certificate for IKEA. There is almost always something we can use from there so this weekend we will be making a trip to brave the crowds. Should I get to doing the frosting with foil in the bathroom today, we may need more of that…and other stuff we’ll probably pick up will be organizer items for the kitchen, some bath accessories and other small stuff. Too bad the certificate wasn’t big enough to cover new patio furniture for us…

Unfortunately, the certificate has now vanished off my desk so I will be spending some time searching like a mad woman to find it now. It’s been laying here just waiting for us to use it and now when the time comes, it vanishes. Typical. The worst part is that is actually expires tomorrow so if it can’t be found, we just miss out on the rebate. NOOOOO!! I’m sure I put it somewhere “safe” aside from the desk, thinking the dog might grab it or it might fall off into the trash…but where that safe spot is exactly is now anyone’s guess lol. I guess it’s about time to clean up the office again anyway 😉
