Hope it didn't need the slats across the frame like my daughter's did, which we didn't pick up from the isle.

140 mile round trip to get them!

I seem to recall my daughter wanted to choose the bed she wanted, and then we went to the warehouse to pick it up. Due to the stress of Ikea, i missed picking the slats as part of the bed, it wasn't all in one box, and the cashier didn't say " You forgot the slats sir"

this happens more often than you would think.
Was he a danger to himself then? If so what did they use to detain him?

Fingers crossed out on Wednesday, although light duties for a while. As she's part time, no work until April!

Hope all's well with Mrs Mav too.

Also echo the cold wet grumbles - spent most of the rainy weekend in the garage rebuilding the bird table (just an excuse to play with the power tools really) and I now have a bit of a sniffle...
