When served lemons...

aka the best laid plans of mice, men and librarians.

Found myself falling into old habits and putting everyone else's feeling before my own a bit today - so when the lovely weekend I had planned went a bit awry, I made the most of it and did something positive.

Although a trip to Ikea may not seem like a challenge - it was! I sorted out home delivery, not having a car and thought that was the job done. Didn't realise that I had to actually get the mattress and bedframe to the tills - pay for them and then push them to the Home delivery section!

I was feeling a bit down and telling myself what a fool I was for thinking I could do it on my own when Adele 'Someone Like You' came piping across the store. Although the song doesn't relate to me...it is really heartfelt and I had to stop myself from breaking down and blubbing in Aisle 28, Location 83.

"Don't cry Kate, don't cry...not in bloody IKEA"

Anyway....

Three trips to the till (and a bit of help for this damsel in distress off a nice bloke) and I am now the the proud owner of a double bed to replace this ONE

It arrives tomorrow before 7.30am! So will have it built nice and early.

I had arranged for the girls to be with my mum today which made me even sadder that things didn't work out today - I would have liked to have watched the Royal Wedding with them...but I caught some of it (TV on mute with the radio on) and it was lovely - so tonight I am raising a toast to *that* Kate and Wills and to *this* Kate - who when served with lemons went right out there and made lemonade!

blip isn't lemonade of course...so toasting the happy couple with some sparkly Rose.

They seemed in love *Whatever in love means*

Hope you enjoyed your day, wedding celebrations or not!
