Despite our plans for Extreme Frugality, we had to stop in at ikea this morning to grab two replacement seats for our dining chairs which cracked this week. We’ve had them for years now and to be honest I’m surprised they’ve lasted this long because they were only $25. I was exceedingly pleased to discover that you can now buy just the seat part for $10 rather than having to replace the whole chair.

On the way we dropped off an awful lot of decluttered stuff at the Salvation Army and watched planes while we waited for ikea to open – because we are dorks.

At current rate of progress, we’ll have much more stuff to drop off in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I’ll remember to take along the DSLR and laze about watching more planes for a while.
