Saturday, 1 November 2008 7 things that made getting a bed from Ikea more complicated

  1. The weather: Pitch black, pouring with rain and strong winds
  2. The drive: 50 minute drive to MK in the above weather
  3. Treasure hunt: Getting the bed we wanted wasn't a simple self serve affair and involved finding a member of staff to print out an order
  4. Finding our bed: The bed was in the full serve collection warehouse, half a mile away from Ikea, with a very dodgy map and directions from Ikea
  5. The car: One half of the back seat drop panel won't go down at all, meaning less room to manoeuvre things in the boot/back seat
  6. The fit: The boxes were too large to fit in the car, so we had to de-pack them to fit all the pieces in
  7. The passenger seat: Even de-packed, Bekie had to push her seat fully forward and upright so here nose was almost pressed against the windscreen
