I looked it up when I first got it and apparently they are still functional if you have the right film, can't remember which film though. I really should look into it again!

Corners of the room absolutely MUST include books and things that from grandma, so this makes me incredibly happy :)

Hope you had a nice break from the Ikea bubble. I think I spotted you there on my first Ikea expedition a few weeks ago, but I was too shy to say hello and didn't want to freak you out with the 'hi, you don't know me but...'

oh my god you should have said hi! It totally would have made my day haha, what department was I in? Although I totally understand the weirdness of it, Pip from Meet Me at Mikes came in last week and I was way too scared to say hi to her haha

Haha! Yeah, we have to get more gutsy about saying hello. Kind of funny really.

Um, I was walking through the rugs bit, then past the fabric bit, and you were going in the other direction and I had that deja vu feeling like, 'I know her!' Then I put two-and-two together, but was quickly distracted by those little ironing boards (of which I did buy one!!)
