Electric goodies — check
Oh goody goody goody. Now I’ve acquired all the necessary electricity-slurping gadgets for my new home: I bought a TV (32″ LCD), a digital receiver (I need it for my DVD/VCR and just for the ease of recording), a washing machine, and a vacuum cleaner. I didn’t yet get a microwave oven, a printer-scanner, or an iron because those can wait; and I can carry them home by myself, now I got a delivery for the stuff I bought today. I’m getting them delivered on May 2nd so they’re hopefully ready by my move-in day. (I wanted to have a little leeway in case the delivery is delayed.)
I also found a dinner table + chairs that I really want. I had found a similar set before but I was worried about its quality. The ones I saw today are much better quality and the size is more fitting too, I think. So, the problems now are: sofa, bed, and storage (books, DVDs, CDs). I’ve booked a meeting with an interior decorator (please don’t laugh, I just want some ideas on how I should arrange my living-room. It’s so difficult!) which is hopefully next week (I haven’t heard back from them yet).
Hmm, I suppose I should get the electricity, too…
How did the TV get priority over the bed?
Because… er… I already have some sort of a bed? Well, I already have some sort of a TV but it’s old and ugly The TV was so pretty and shiny and flat, that’s why!
Seriously though, I’ve been looking for a bed all around but haven’t yet found one. I don’t want to settle for a mattress with legs which is what I have now (I don’t know what it’s called, we call them “frame mattresses”). I want a proper bed frame and the only nice ones I’ve found are for a double bed or at Ikea. Oof.
Oh, I love to shop for a whole bunch of much needed things (except for having no money left at the end of it). And how did this stuff get priority over an iron? Don’t you need some well pressed clothing to go to work every day? Don’t want to look like a rubbie now that you’ll have your own home.
I’m not done with the shopping yet. These were the big (electronic) purchases. I still have an iron (and an ironing board), a microwave oven, and a printer — at least — to get.
