We are going to Turku today or The Story About the Kitchen Chairs
We are going to Turku today!!
Its only about 100 kms away but it is Finland 3rd biggest town
The reason to go there is this:
And here is the story....
A few years ago we bought 4 chairs from Ikea. We did not have much money to spend on them and this one happend to be the cheapest and the one i liked the most. We have a pretty big kitchen dining table but on one long side we have a wooden sofa.
Now I am fed up with that sofa. It does not fit in under the table so it takes up a lot of space and even worse - Ansa gets up on the sofa and from there on to the table !! And she is a real BEAGLE - she does not listen. Or atleast she will jump up there as soon as I turn my back.... The sofa has to go!!
SO... I get on Ikeas home page... and...... they dont have the red chairs anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now what do I do??? I cant afford to buy all new chairs!!!
Then I get on our local Ebay pages.... and... someone has put up 6 red chairs for aution!!!! YAY!!!
But when i start reading.... That auction ran out the day before.... :scratch:
Now I am really MAD!!!
By digging into it a bit I see that there was not one bid on them.... so the chairs were not sold....
I finally found out how to PM the seller.... AND WOHOOO, she is selling 6 chairs for 70 euros!!
So now we will end up with 10 chairs But thats ok! 8 is what we need when we all have dinner together... and in 2 years little Siiri will need a chair too!!
Are you all happy for me???

This is so lucky occasion And the chairs are in Turku as I understand, not so far at all. I am so happy for you
Re: We are going to Turku today or The Story About the Kitchen Chairs
Yes the chairs are in Turku, which is reaally good!
But evev if they were in Rovaniemi I would have wanted them
And who knows, maybe Siiri is not the last grandchild

Good! So no more dogs over the table
Re: We are going to Turku today or The Story About the Kitchen Chairs
I sure hope so!!! It can be soooo annoying!! I am not a clean freak - i'm not afraid of a little dirt
But.... let's say - on a day that I bake, which happens quite often - I need the kitchen table too, usually i have the oven trays there with buns or bread or whatever, that are rising - or cooling down after beeing baked. I do NOT want the dogs to eat THAT!!! So I feel I have been constantly needing eyes in the back of my head too! Now I can relax a bit
