… right at this moment are a washing machine, a fridge and a freezer. And in here is a coffee machine.
Yes, I’ve been out and about this afternon.
Just for a change just recently, I was awake before the alarm went off this morning – although that’s not the same as saying that I was out of bed before the alarm this morning. But we’re getting there bit by bit.
And I had been on my travels too. Regular readers of this rubbish will recall Krys who used to read and comment on this blog many years ago. She and I were doing up an old house, putting in some dry-lined walls which were, interestingly, made of steel, not plasterboard. And I remember admiting how well we were fitting the sheets so that the joints were scarcely visible.
After breakfast I sat down to search the internet for the stuff that I wanted. There’s a wholesale site called C Discount and the prices on there looked reasonable. But strnge as it is to say it, the price of the product on the adverts is not the same price as the product once it goes into your basket.
There was about €20:00 difference and when I queried this with the company, they replied that there was a fault on their site.
And that was that.
No offer to deal with the matter or to resolve the issue.
In the end, their prices were no more different than at the BUT, with no delivery charges and no waiting either.
So at 14:00 I went off to the BUT and ordered my product. The fridge and the freezer are th cheapest available – on the grounds that it’s debatable if I’ll outlive them anyway given my health. And the washing machine would have been too, but when I asked for a discount in view of how much I was spending, they wouldn’t do that but they marked down an Indesit to match the rpice of the cheapest machine and you can’t argue with that.
The fridge is your typical standard-size fridge that will go under the draining board. The freezer is identical – a front-opener – that will go in the bathroom. That’s been made possible because I’ve bought a top-loading washing machine. Only a small one but then there’s only me, and with it being a top-loader it can go right in the corner. Hence there’s the place for the freezer next to it.
As for the coffee machine, I didn’t intend to buy one but there they were, marked down to €9:99. You can’t argue with that either!
It wasn’t until 16:00 that I returned, so it was a very late lunch. That meant that I wasn’t hungry at tea-time. instead, I chatted to a friend on the internet for quite a while.
The weather wasn’t so bad either today, so I could go for a little walk this evening. I hope that I can return quickly to my usual habits and settle down.
