We sold our sofa and the delivery quotes were 3–4k SEK even after RUT. Wild. 
Then my husband said: “Try FreeTrailer.com” Game. Changed.

What worked for us: ✅ B-license is enough ✅ 4 hours free – you only pay a small insurance fee ✅ If you book on the website in advance there’s a service fee, but you can often grab one on the spot via the app at the parking lot without that fee (if available)

Stop paying hundreds of kronor at petrol stations just to move a couch. This is smarter.

Quick tips: 👉 Check the trailer size and weight limits 👉 Bring straps and blankets 👉 Take photos of condition before and after 👉 Drive slow and plan your route

Not sponsored – just saving you money. Availability varies by location, so always read the terms.

⏰ Sweden went back to normaltid last night 😎

A few Swedish nuggets for your inner time-nerd: ✅ 1879: Sweden adopts one national time (aka “Örebro time”). ✅ 1900: We fine-tune by 14 seconds to match CET exactly. ✅ 1916: First run of summer time? Flops after rural pushback. ✅ 1980: Summer time returns.
✅ 1996: Sweden syncs with Europe so everyone switches the same nights. ✅ 2019 EU talk: “Let’s end clock changes.” Then… gridlock over which time should be permanent.

Why Swedes still argue: 👉 Health researchers here lean toward permanent standard time: earlier winter light = better sleep, learning and mood, especially for kids and shift workers. 👉 Long-evenings crowd wants permanent summer time — more daylight after work, more outdoor life and activity. 
👇 Your turn, Sweden: If we stop switching — what should be permanent?
 Comment with your city + your vote: Normaltid or Sommartid, and tell us why.

Asking me to go out during my laundry slot? Bold 😎 
Quick Sweden 101: the tvättstuga isn’t “just laundry.” It’s a sacred, booked-in-advance, don’t-you-dare-be-late ritual. 
✅ Shared laundry room for the whole building. ✅ You reserve a time slot (old-school board or app). ✅ If you’re 3 minutes over, expect a passive-aggressive note. ✅ Wash, dry, clean everything, leave no sock behind.

So no, I can’t “pop out for a fika/beer” 
Today I’m in a committed relationship with the tumble dryer.

🚨 Pippi vs “Pipi”

Astrid Lindgren AB has sued the Croatian soft drink “Pipi” for trademark infringement. 
The label shows a blonde girl with pigtails, which the company says is clearly inspired by Pippi Longstocking. They discovered the product after a trademark application for “Pipi.”

They argue soda is closely tied to Pippi’s “soda-pop tree,” and note “Pipi” is the Croatian spelling used in translations. 
The lawsuit also says the label hints at “sexiness,” which they say does not fit Pippi and could create negative associations. 
Goal: prevent any impression that the drink is connected to Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi.

⚠️ Serious allegations at fast-food chain Chopchop
 According to Arbetet, Chinese guest workers report 14-hour shifts, months with no or very low pay, and in some cases paying a month’s salary upfront just to get the job.

Workers say they live in company housing and are moved around Sweden. Payslips are missing for some, and tax checks reportedly found gaps in documentation.

Workplace injuries have happened. In 2022 a cook suffered second-degree burns from boiling water. Chopchop paid a 150,000 SEK work-environment fine and promised checks. A similar incident was reported in 2025.

Police have investigated suspected human exploitation. Migrationsverket’s figures on work permits were later described as unreliable in this case.

Chopchop’s operations manager says the workplace is safe and that camera placement will be reviewed if staff feel afraid.

🎭 Throwback to Theatre Cafe Diner in London 🇬🇧 ✨

The cosy West End spot where the staff sang musical numbers and strangers harmonised like old friends.

We visited literally a few days before it closed, and for this theatre-musical kid it became a core memory from our last London trip.

I keep replaying that night while we plan the next trip to London. Were you ever there, and what which song would you put on the board first?
