Screwfixing Ikea

Tuesday 11th March

Written by Bournemouth runner

Five Goodgymmers, Sophie, Millie, Emma, Keith and Lea, turned up at the directed location…. Where are we supposed to be?! Janet (on the phone), Mr Google and a six minute walk got us to the right door to knock on. Up the stairs we went to find two Ikea flatpacks waiting for us. After the unpacking phase, on to the instructions phase onto the screwing and hammering phase. With Millie, the Ikea flatpack specialist, and Sophie, the instruction booklet expert, we all got to work swiftly and efficiently. Everyone had a go at hammering and screwing, lifting and shifting. With the first wardrobe completed and set up in the right corner, a welcome quick tea break followed, after which wardrobe number two was screwed together and set up in no time. Next week a refugee family from Afghanistan will move in. Judging by the fairy bedlinen and the football and tractor bedlinen: two girls and two boys. A very satisfying task, and what’s more, ICN is keen to get us involved in more tasks.
