Saturday morning... again.

Well, another busy Saturday that ended up at the mall.. I do now proper hate Riccarton mall.. But it has everything the young frugal shopper needs.. unfortunately.

I got word that a sister was coming to visit so had to invest in a new bed.. so this morning the bed was delivered at 8.30. so got up and went to the gate in ma PJ's, (this seems to be something that happens with every delivery, not that i'm always dressed as such, just a coincidence) so put the washing on, had B&E for breakfast, shower, hung the washing out and off for my coffee.

I went and got my credit card sorted finally and so felt it needed a little exercise. turns out Briscoes had a sale on so managed to find most of the bedding requirements.

Although I never really managed to think it through as to the return journey.. on a bike.

It was once discussed and agreed that I was indeed a 'selfish' person, the people from whom this discussion arose will of course be kept anonymous. but if pictures don't suffice in this particular case, allow me to spell out how this picture came about.

Mark goes to Riccarton
He goes shopping for bedding and pillows for his dear family who may one-day visit.
He cannot afford a taxi home after only the finest quality has been purchased for his fussy siblings.
He steals a supermarket trolly and walks an hour home looking like a bum. (Ever tried pushing a full trolly down really poor uneven footpaths..?)
He spends 2 hours putting his new bed together.

The finished product... all for my Katie..!

A new mirror.

Have 9,500m2 'the warehouse' to price carpentry on, and haven't started..
I do love you Amy, but I am NOT selfish..! :)
