Droppin' Some Serious Dough, Yo!
Jul. 16th, 2016 11:30 pm10:44pm: LOL, I probably shouldn't try to speak street...but I will anyway because it's fun.
And also true! Because after work today I drove to Vinnies in Brookvale to meet up with my mother and began our search for new furniture - since except for the wardrobe the new Granny Flat is unfurnished.
We originally went to Vinnies to look for a small table, but those aren't easy to find so unsurprisingly there wasn't any there. What was there however was a sexy red reclining chair, with a foot stool for only 50 bucks! Now, I have my white chair, but to be honest it's not actually all that comfortable to sit in - it's a little high for me - and the stool (which I do use all the time) is all sort of threadbare. So I bought it and Mum's going to pick it up on Wednesday in Dad's car - which is an SUV so can fit such a thing.
The other reason we went to Vinnies was to get the contact details of the movers they use because they were really good last time I moved. We succeeded with that and I called the guy as Mum and I (in her car) headed towards Manly and the second hand whitegoods place. I didn't get the guy first go and had to leave one of those 10 second messages that will be converted to text. Ew...I hate those so much, I'm always worried the software won't understand a thing I'm saying and they'll just get some garbled shit. I guess your phone number still shows up. Either way the guy did get back to me and I arranged the movement of furniture to happen on Thursday.
Mum and I took a detour to Fantastic Furniture to continue the table hunt and we found a very cool one that folds down! It was quite expensive, like $270 and that didn't include chairs. I did actually buy it, but later on Mum saw what she thought was a better option at Target so I have to cancel my order on the table - still getting the chairs though - which is good because you have to cancel your order in person, and there's nothing worse then having to drive out of your way for no real good reason.
Then it was to the whitegoods place in Manly where I'm pleased to say I found a fridge (with a four star rating!), a washing machine (which sadly had an absolutely atrocious energy and water rating) and a rather sexy small black microwave. Whoo! Sweet. It's gonna cost me $660, but that does include delivery, so I think I've made out good. :O)
In other news, tomorrow is my cousin Mack's belated birthday get-together! I called Uncle Sam to ask if I should make cupcakes - the invite said no need to bring anything, but you know I love any excuse to make cupcakes! He said thanks but there was enough food so no, I was a bit disappointed - I could practically taste that left over cupcake batter!- but what can you do? However, a little later Mack himself called me and told me to make some, I assume he had his parents, or at least his mother's OK to do this. So I made them! However...as I was taking out the batch of four extras from the oven I managed to spill them with one landing on my thumb and burning it! Ow! Epic fail!
I've not been very good to my hands today...I got a rather nasty papercut this morning and then I somehow managed to catch my finger in the rings of the folder with the timesheets in it which hurt like Hell. And of course this burn, which I think has derailed my plans to do some memes because I need to put a wet cloth on it so it'll stop hurting.
And finally, I hurried home because the sky was looking quite threatening and I wanted to get my washing off the line, however it was still a bit damp and the sky seemed better so I left it out there...only for the rain to come by about half an hour ago! Fuck! I got it inside but now it's damp-er then it was when I got home this evening.
Grumble, grumble.
Oh! I almost forgot! I managed to write 390 words today! LOL it's sad how excited I was by that...:OP Come on me, get with the program.
Anyway, signing off now.
Goodnight all!
