The bookcase is up!!
The bruising on my eye is not as bad as I thought it would be, but I have muscles aching that I didn't know I had.
Not that it will come as a surprise to anyone, but it took nowhere near as long to make with 2 people, and I only helped out a few times along the way! It ended up taking about an hour actually. I didn't even curse once this time.lol
And just for your information, S commented that it was harder than it looked to make, but then added that he had no idea why I had SO much trouble.lol
The kids room is coming about quite nicely now, which I am very happy about.
Miraculously all the furniture fits exactly, and not just the things I measured first!! It's like everything was made with the room in mind. The way things are coming together really is uncanny.
And speaking of things uncanny...
Before buying the bunks I was tossing up between buying them and updating our tv. Both needed to be bought, but I thought the tv could wait a bit longer because there was nothing wrong with it.
But, the main reason I thought now might be a good time to update is because of the eco points the government is giving out at the moment. Apparently at the end of this month they will be updating the products that are eligible, and the tv I have my eye on might possibly disappear from the list. I don't know that for sure btw, but it's a possibility, especially with the amount of tvs out there. In the end though I decided to get the bunks first so I could sort out the kids room before my parents come to visit in April.
So anyway, what do you know, the day after I ordered the bunks the tv started mucking up.
We were getting sound and something that could not be considered a picture, but a bit of a tap on the side (yes, that's how old the tv is, tapping still fixes things!!) and the picture would come back on normally.
Not any more. As of yesterday our tv has finally packed it in.
It was my husband's from when he was at uni, so it's 13 years old and is about the same size as the computer screen, probably smaller actually.
So unfortunately (or possibly fortunately!) it looks like we have to get a new tv sooner than I thought, and before the end of February too which means we can get eco points after all. Yay for small miracles.
I guess I'll be back on the net looking for bargains.
All I can say is thank goodness for our tax rebate!!
And I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that nothing else packs up for at least another couple of months.lol

They heard you!! You are getting really good at manifesting now aren't you :)
Funny how everything fit in the bedroom like that. And glad to hear you got it all up, you must feel relieved now :)
So that's what the manifestation card that's been following me around meant!lol
返信削除Oh yes!! forgot about that. :)
返信削除Here's my two yen (sorry, unasked for!) Get a price off the net and use it to bargain down an electronics shop around you. Not only will you save on shipping, if something goes wrong you will have more recourse. I know it sounds awful to bargain in a shop, but electronics shop managers do this all the time. I learned from my mother-in-law and it's a great trick.
