You should have bought a hammer at IKEA! They sell these great little toolkits with a hammer, pliers and set of screwdrivers for about £4.50.

I haven't been to IKEA since the new catalogue came out. Must resist...

How is the job going?

If we'd known we were going to need one, we would have. We brought one and the chest of drawers was successfully built.

The job is going well. I have been here jsut over two months but am still learning loads! Hope your new job is also going well, and that your flat in Bristol is nice :-)

It is nice, but I have to ring the landlord about the fact that the heater in the bathroom can't be switched on, because it lacks the pull-cord the instructions say is required for switching it on...

Job is good but busy atm! Spent all morning working on one paper - the English is pretty bad because it's the authors' second language...

Which chest of drawers was it? I like the MALM ones.
