Deliver me from Swedish funiture!

Because all of my desk and half of my bed are covered in books and magazines, I decided to buy another bookshelf from Ikea last Friday.

Today I figured that it was time to put it up.

Unfortunately, once I had cleared space and spread all the parts out on the floor of my room, I was reminded that they no longer supply allen keys in packaging, and I can't for the life of me find mine (even though I always buy allen keys three at a time, because I know that I will always lose one.

So mood now = 'Lord, why dost thou mock me?'

(That and 'I wonder if they sell allen keys at Tesco').

Update:

I schlepped down to Tesco and back, picking up a set of allen keys of various sizes for just under £2. Then I watched some classic Star Trek on BBC2 (strange how they didn't do that many episodes, yet I keep seeing ones I've never seen before).

When my attentions finally turned back to assembling the bookshelves, I discovered that there was in fact an allen key included, it was just cleverly camoflaged in with the pegs, bolts, nails and the other crap that they ship bookcases with (razzin' frazzin'...)

In any case, I've pretty much assembled the bookcase now, all that remains is nailing the backing to the back, which I think I will do when I'm less likely to wake people up doing it.

Over and out.
