House-Warming List

After my ‘Anti-Wedding List’ post, lots of people said I should go for it….so I have! I’ll give it a slightly more positive spin and give it the more traditional name ‘House-Warming List’. I know I’m a pikey for asking for stuff, but you know, mortgages are expensive things! I’m going to have to make some lifestyle changes as a result such as never buying anything ever again, and replacing luxury foods like butter for its cheaper sibling ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Petroleum By-product! TM’.

When someone tells me they want to get something, it will appear in RED, just like that! So move fast if you would like to snap up an item for LESS THAN ONE POUND STERLING!! No-one wants to be left with the fridge-freezer now, do they?

A lot of people are saying they would rather peel themselves than go to Ikea, so if you would like to either give me money towards a gift or buy me the same kind of thing from elsewhere, I'm happy with that too! (Except the TV stand, I really like that particular one.)

If in doubt, my favourite colours are orange, red, bright pink and yellow or any garish combination of the above. So any item that gives you a headache when you look at it should make me happy.

wine stopper and glasses - do you have a cork screw?

By Roz, at Mon Mar 13, 06:33:00 AM 2006

Yes I do! I see a running theme here...I think I know what we'll be doing when YOU come round!! (-: Thanks mate! xx

Hey hey hey! I'm so impressed you've actually bothered to make this list. Me and Lib haven't got round to it yet! If you get married are you still entitled to make a list or do you get just half a list (unless of course the lucky fella has already done something similar)? I like the pizza cutter and peeler combo. Count that as my offering. What colour would you like? There isn't an orange option which is a real shame as that's my favourite colour as you know. (No, you can't have my belt.)

By Nathan, at Mon Mar 13, 11:54:00 AM 2006

Yes, I am grieved at the lack of orange myself. I think maybe one in red and one in that light blueish colour, as they will clash nicely in my drawer. I'll leave it up to you which way round you choose to do it.

I think, in light of my comments in the 'Anti-Wedding List' post, I would not be allowed to have a wedding list if I got married, since of course, we would already have 2 of everything, and my half would be all this lush stuff! So all my eggs are pretty much in this particular Ikea shopping basket.

Can you count Matt and I in on the cafetiere for you, as can't get to ikea before your party but reckon we can easily find a cafatiere thats a bit nice in posh ol' Hampstead! I'll look for a pink one like mine, or a star bucks one.
LOVELY!!!!

Re: wedding list

as you would have two of everything.. why not give your guests something like the worst of your pizza/peelers ???

It would save on hireing a skip i suppose

By -bb-, at Tue Mar 14, 12:39:00 PM 2006

By étrangère, at Wed Mar 15, 12:07:00 PM 2006

BB, you can't buy IKEA stuff online unfortunately, but you can buy Argos stuff, and possibly Homebase stuff.....a couple of people have just given me money and specified an item cos they can't be bothered to get to the shops. This is also fine with me!!
