Safety first

Found myself with a little time on my hands this afternoon, so I thought it would be worth opening one of the packages of Roman blinds we brought home from Ikea from the Lighthouse weekend. After the experience with the curtain poles, I didn't want to arrive at the point of putting them up only to find something essential for the fitting is missing.

I needn't have worried. There's a cute little plastic bag attached to the blinds containing everything necessary, along with a warning message that had me laughing out loud.

WARNING:
Accidental strangulation by dangling Venetian or Roman blind cords can be prevented.

Well, that's reassuring to know ain't it? I'd hate to think it was a foregone conclusion.
