The IKEA Effect....

With the chrimbo bustle over, the mountain of toys had to be dealt with.

Male Solution : Flick through IKEA catalogue, select reasonably priced storage recepticle, drive over, locate said article, purchase and get the hell out before you end up with tea-light holders or something else completely stoopid.

Female Solution : Phone up friends to join you, wander around aimlessly until you find what you're looking for, decide upon a completely different twice as expensive item, see what can only be described as a "roadkill cushion" and purchase as well. "It'll actually save you money because it can now double as a seat for her when she's older." Then spend an hour in the restaurant frittering away even more money to the Swedish economy.

I'm actually growing to love the roadkill cushion and the box does look really nice, so due given, well done Mrs TFP.

I hate IKEA.
