MAKING SOME BIG PURCHASES TODAY FOR THE NEW HOUSE.. HOME SHOPPING IN DUBAI.
Lazy thought she’d come outside to start the vlog on hers and Creepstopher’s lovely, lovely balcony. It’s a bit hot. Some might think Lazy is a geek as the balcony was spotlessly clean when they got here but it’s now covered in sand from the desert. There’s another balcony off Lazy and Creepstopher’s bedroom where the suitcases are stored. Another balcony looks down onto the garden.
Aurora is playing with Lazy’s make up. She’s looking forward to having storage in the new house. Creepstopher is distracted by his phone. There’s load of space in the new house. They’re off to Dragon Mart, which was recommended by the friends for homey bits. Mila is told she can’t use a lipstick because it hurts to put on like bee stings. They need beds for the girls. Jace and Mila have beds at the new house; his is blue. Lazy can’t remember which house they viewed is the new house. They need cutlery and furniture. Creepstopher needs to get off his phone and get dressed. Driving.
Dragon Mart is bigger than Lazy expected. Moaning about the heat. She’s got tingly legs.
Furniture throwback from the Manor. Ad. Lazy is excited to build a new standing office desk from FlexiSpot. She's building it alone whilst Creepstopher is babysitting the kids. Buttons to lower or higher the table. It goes low low for a small child and high high to stand up and work. It also has memory to sit down in the afternoon.
Back to Dubai. Lazy wonders why there’s so much stuff outside. They’re off to the supermarket first.
Jace pokes artwork. Lazy is getting The Range vibes. Dragon Mart has an open market vibe where people come up to you and try to haggle. Cute fighter jet light. Creepstopher volunteered to stay in the car because Aurora and Mila are asleep. Lazy hasn’t seen any furniture shops so thinks she’s in the wrong section.
Fires. Jace is told he can’t touch fire. Freaky dolls that need burning. Another person tries to haggle. Golden toilet. Leaving Dragon Mart. Lazy has never had so many perfume samples and men with their phones showing photos of handbags and saying “very good price and very good replicas”. She’s been hounded and it isn’t her type of shop. Time to go to Ikea.
Ace, an outdoor furniture shop. Lazy saw a massive grey armchair that would be perfect for their living room online. They have a big outdoor space so Lazy wants a gazebo and a swing for the veranda upstairs. Jace and Mila push the pram. Outside the store is the chair Lazy saw online for £200. It’s on sale. Big swimming pool. She sees a swing for the veranda.
Creepstopher is in hell because Lazy is going ching ching ching ching ching ching. They’ve got a nice size back garden in their house so they want a nice size gazebo so they can be outside all the time. Lazy found a gazebo online but Creepstopher thinks it’s manky. In real life it’s not cream like it is online. He likes the grey one and it’s only £80/£90. There’s a beige option but Lazy doesn’t like it. They need to match the style of the house.
The girls have decided to treat themselves to a Costa. They suddenly needed a cold drink. Isla usually likes the boba refresher drinks but they didn’t have them. Esmé spills some of her drink on her tacky Shein skirt. None of the girls are dressed modestly. Screeching about how her skirt is ruined. She wants to kill someone.
The Inghams have bought a gazebo, egg chair and a huge corner sofa set for outside. When you have six chuldren there’s no point buying small. Creepstopher said no when he saw the price and wanted to walk around and have a look. After an hour they found nothing and got the one Lazy said because Mama knows best. The girls wave their Costas in her face.
The Inghams are back at Festival Mall because it’s home to Ikea and they need beds.
Creepstopher isn’t going to lie, this feels so weird. It feels like they’ve stepped back into the UK. They could be anywhere in the world. Nice beige house set up. Lazy says the living room would look nice set up like that. There’s marble all on the bottom of their house. Crossed wires as she thinks Creepstopher is talking about the Manor. He’s talking about the new house and the Dubai living room is bigger.
Beds. Esmé won’t settle for any less than what she wants. Isabelle isn’t fussy. Esmé doesn’t like the black bed so they found a white one. Jace can be heard screeching at a higher volume than usual and people are staring. Lazy would probably cackle and say “he’s such a boy” if told to rein him in. Isabelle wants a sofa bed as her room is small. The sofa bed is triple the price of the bed they found but they wouldn’t have to buy a mattress for it. Esmé and Isla want a beach style room.
Lazy yells out to “beb” Creepstopher as he goes down the travellator with Esmé. He throws gang signs. People turn and stare. Cackle. They've decided to order the beds online as they couldn’t decide on Isabelle’s bed. Mila is upset because she thinks Lazy and Creepstopher are going home and she’ll never see them again. Shipping with Ikea is expensive. They got bowls, pasta bowls, glasses, mugs, cutlery, pans, kitchen utensils, ziplock bags and chuldrens plastic reusable utensils. They’re eating out tonight as it’s 7pm and everyone is hungry and really thirsty. They’ll pick somewhere cheap and cheerful in the food court. Driving.
