Very excited

Tomorrow my exciting new kitchen work tops arrive. They're solid beech and very, very lovely. They're from Ikea so are called Benobo or Slibben or something equally ludicrous but I love them. On Saturday my new fridge and freezer arrive and on Sunday my dad's coming over to help me fit the worktops and hang some shelves. I'm taking him and mum out for lunch in return.

Other than my kitchen looking a lot nicer and having more worktop space I will no longer have a fridge freezer that goes Nddnnnnnrrrrrrrrrrrr loudly when it starts up in the middle of my favourite shows and then Addaddadddaddddrrr when it shuts off. It is very old and cost me nothing but I'll be glad to see it go.

You just have to love the names Ikea give their stuff... :-D

My favourite ever was the nob rack. So you could hang up your nobs I imagine. Is that funny in non-coloquial English? Knob = penis

Heh... that's hilarious! Of course, I also find Brad Pitt's name hilarious. (Pitt=penis in Swedish). Mentally, I will never be older than twelve.

That is so funny, and I'll never see his name without sniggering again.

Also, woohoo, because now I can do more than just translate a menu from Swedish! Admittedly it'll be useless in all but very specific circumstances :-)
