On Sat, we swung by Expo to see if there were any mega-sales, thanks to Val's tip-off. And there was! 3+ hours and $200 later, we had gotten the water-boiler (no kettles for us), a juicer, 2 sets of bedlinen, and a couple of other small items. Big almost got a luggage bag too. We're still not sure about the rice-cooker (anyone knows a good brand and suitable size?), and haven't bought the pots&pans, or crockery. Or the curtains & blinds.
Sun - Big loaded up the car with all the stuff we had bought before he went for reservist, and we trolley-ed them to the flat. That is to say, he carried the big TV, and I pushed the fully-loaded trolley which had an unfortunate tendency to list to the left.
After much sweating and grunting, we finally unpacked, stowed away and fixed up whatever appliances we had brought in. Big even christened the bathroom by taking the 1st shower there.
And he very nicely shoved the quest for bedlinen, curtains and cushion covers to me. Like I know anything about draperies...
Any recommendations for reasonably priced, good quality cloth stuff, with nice sophisticated subtle designs?????
The bed frame will be in coming Sat. And we need to call for the mattress too....
