Ikea pencils

Time to 'fess up.

Have you ever pocketed a handful of those little free pencils and/or paper tape measures from the Ikea store?

I have an Ikea pencil in my pencil case, actually. However, I tend to use my other pencil, because it is sharper.

Although that's still not very sharp. I'm one of those people who's pencils never get sharpened when another pencil arrives on the scene.

Like, every time I visit Ikea

(which isn't too often, since the nearest one is two countries away)

I've never been to an Ikea store so, no. I have stolen those crayons they give you with the kiddie menu at certain resturaunts though. Yep, I'm bad.

I have a couple of the tape measures but not the pencils. But I have an excuse. I was designing my kitchen at the time and it was handy to check the cupboard sizes.

As their store is not close to us anymore most of my kitchen was designed on the computer. Ikea have a handy little kitchen designer program you can download free. Just put in the dimensions of your room and off you go. It even gives it to you in 3D and you can look at it from any angle. Then you use their little cut out cupboards and stick then onto graph paper. So their pencils were unnecessary.

Why would I want to steal pencils?

...More than five, anyway...

I use propelling pencils 'cos I keep losing my sharpener
