We decided to go down to IKEA in Edmonton (Tottenham, north London) on Sunday, as Terese and Chris were going to be there and itwould be fun to meet up. We set off just after 12 noon, with the aim to be there at 1-ish. Unfortunately, there had been a big accident on the M11 motorway and we got stuck - all three lanes closed. We sat there for over and hour and after a while, some cars were directed up a slip road. we were lucky that we were close and managed to drive across a central reservation and take this rookie route out. The traffic was very heavy but we managed to navigate through back roads etc and made it back on to the motor way, below where the accident had been. The journey took over 3 hours, but we were lucky to get out at all. We later heard that it hadn't been cleared until after 5pm.
Anyhow, in IKEA we had lunch and coffee with Terese and Chris, and a bit of a catch up! Terese and Chris headed home and we attacked the shop. We bought some storage for Vera's room and also some toy storage for downstairs, as her collection grows! As our house is so small, we have to maximise the space!
