SITTING NAKED ON MY NEW LOUNGE SUITE!

SITTING NAKED ON MY NEW LOUNGE SUITE!

Yeah... NOT really!

But .... according to Morgan Furniture maybe that's what I have to do???

Cos... apparently colour transfer from our clothes onto the new leather lounge suite is NOT COVERED by their warranty!   (not that I can find that gem of information in the small print)

Ummm.... so it would appear we are supposed to sit on it NAKED then?

NOT IMPRESSED.   And I told them so in no uncertain terms.
Now... they are sending out a 'leather specialist' to have a look at it today.  ARIGHTLY THEN.

I can see big problems ahead of us.  WHY ME???

I don't think it's fair that we always seem to have these sort of problems!  WHO can remember all the trouble I had with my brand new sewing machine?  The brand new garage door?  The brand new TV?   The Spa?   *SNIFF*

CROSS.... cross... cross....

ONWARD...

Last weekend we travelled over to Whitianga, crossing over the old Kopu Bridge which is being replaced soon by a new one.  The old Bridge was supposed to be replaced years ago.. hell I remember as a kid being told it was about to be replaced... that was at least 40 years ago!
Well yesterday that old bridge tried to die on it's own!

ABOVE: a section of the old Kopu Bridge has dropped!  All traffic had to be diverted... and we were on that very bridge just 5 days ago and I remember thinking as we drove over that it couldn't last much longer!  Gives me chills.  This bridge is quite long as it spans the Firth of Thames (big river mouth)... and is a one way bridge... I hope it last just a bit longer as the new bridge is not due to open until June next year! 
On the left of the old bridge is the new one that is being constructed... you can see it in that photo above.

Right, off now to do stuff...

I have to go out this morning and spend hundreds of dollars.  NOT what I thought I'd be doing... but needs must.
Griffin dropped his PSP and it broke forever... and he hasn't stopped sobbing yet.... he lives for his PSP.  It's his 'thing'... like a child with Aspergers.. he can't live without his PSP.. it's all he talks about, lives for.... bla  bla  bla. 
So if we are to live happily ever after... I must go buy another one.
BUGGER IT.

MIKE: you are too late with that advice.  PSP was bought 90 minutes ago.

Been checking my warranty on the lounge suite... seems 'dye transfer' is NOT covered by the warranty.  F.U.C.K. didn't see that in the small print.  Still don't think it's on... how are you supposed to know what clothes will transfer dye or not???  And after only 9 months with a price tag of over $7,000???

I am so tired of all these annoying problems.. makes me want to curl up in bed and f**ken stay there...

End of Day:  felt quite crabby this afternoon... but have come right now.  I've even been reading a book!  'The Choice' by Susan Lewis... enjoying it... but havn't got to the guts of it yet.
Stew is in his element, watching the All Blacks on TV.. my man loves his rugby!  AND he is watching it on the big screen TV with NO black band down the middle.  Gotta love that.
nite nite.
