For any parents with wee ones or grandparents with wee ones on here, I have found a fantastic place to take your kids where they can have hours of fun and all for free and the places are all up and down the country….Ikea.
I kid you not. I went to our nearest one in Batley near Leeds and it was heaving with families and all the kids were loving it. Climbing and jumping on beds and sofas, twiddling with knobs on appliances running up and down the corridors playing chase, having a great old time and then being treated to a plate of meatballs….what’s not to like?!
Anyhow seriously I went to get the stainless steel saute pan and frying pan which were £25 and £22 respectively… Hoozah!
But wait! it gets better. When I got there and went to the kitchen paraphernalia section, they did not have the saute pan on the shelves and when I went on their computer, it said ‘computer says no’ not sold in this store… damn! Except when we went in, one of the very first displays had the saute pan sitting on the side. So, I went over and asked an assistant who after seeing my pained and hurt expression and wobbly bottom lip (drama was my favourite lesson at school) said, if you go and get the display one and you are happy with it, I will give you a note to take to the reduced section and they will knock a bit off for you. But, DO NOT tell anyone it was a display one as I am not really allowed to do that.
It was in perfect condition and instead of paying £25 I got it for £17….Result!
Great service, a good product at a rediculous price and as I said, somewhere to take the kids.
