Rant! My bookcase which I got from IKEA finally collapsed into a heap of books and wood! So instead of enjoying myself today, I have to get two more bookcases!

Didn't that happen last year as well?

That happened last year as well, but this time it was fatal, can't repair it! But saw some lovely big and wide bokcases on the Argos website, only 35gbp each, so will be getting three! Means I will have plenty of space for my expanding collection!

The Argos ones are good. I have a few (wish I had room for more). Better value for money than IKEA's and easy to put together (well, if I could do it then anyone can).

I tried two different Argos shops and you have t order them from the website! So, I will have to be around to have them delivered!

In addition, my washer dryer went kaput on me yesterday! I know how to fix it, its very simple just replace the program control module, but cant get the spare parts! S, will have to get a new one and in the meantime will have to use the laundrymat about a mile and half away!

Better still, I got a phone call from my supplier of lucky white heather, due t a fire at his warehouse, he cant delivery any!

Even worse I cant find my enchanted monkeys paw!

But here is a photo of the damage to the bookcases! I had to use my webcam.

Morse you should be able to ring, order, and have them delivered to your local store. I think you then have three days to collect at your convenience.

I have now seen that you can reserve and collect, so I can do that on Wednesday when I have the day off!

Goodness Morse, I hope no books were damaged in the making of that photo! Btw, congrats on passing through 800 posts!

With our impending move to Melbourne and moving into the house that our tenants have just vacated, it occurred to me there's quite a nice little sitting room halfway down the hallway that should be able to fit my shelving quite nicely. We haven't even started packing and I'm planning where to put the books!

I have often thought of packing up and going somewhere else in order to find a better job! But, as I have over 3250 books, I would need a very large vehicle to move them all!
