Domestic bliss restored
Domestic bliss has been restored in my daughter's new house (see yesterday's blog) and the Ikea bed saga resolved.
The happy ending is that the king size bed now has a king size mattress to fit - the not quite so happy ending to this saga is Ikea's refund policy if you happen to pick up the wrong size mattress by mistake and then make the even bigger mistake of unwrapping it.
I won't go into great detail but just make sure that when you buy something from Ikea it is the right size or measurement. I know there are signs everywhere telling you to check these details but it's easily forgotten when you are battling with the crowds in a busy store.
Anyway, back to the real world of newspapers and I have to say this week's Gazette is a cracking edition.
There is a great mix of hard news and human interest stories and our page three lead on the Hillingdon pensioner who 'died and went to heaven, and then came back to life again' is a must read for everyone.
We also report on how the council is promising a tough line when the public smoking ban comes into force in July. This is a subject which is likely to generate plenty of news stories and features over the coming months and you can get more information on the ban on http://www.smokefreeengland.co.uk
