Pretty, girly Ikea home decor... and extras!

We live a million miles away from pretty much any big department store haha, my favourite thing to do when we pop down to the midlands is straightaway take a trip to IKEA. I always buy too many nick nacks and food, always daim bars.

If you want to know the tool I used for this go to SunLife and use their calculator here.
