nimthirielI'm so tired. I've been doing so much the past few days!
Christmas was huge and at our place.
Boxing day was insane. I had to go to a shopping centre to pick my computer up from repairs. I'd spilled a martini on it and the keyboard wasn't in great shape. Luckily AppleCare covered it so they replaced the entire bottom section of the case free of charge. This means my computer no longer has a big, ugly dent in it! Yay!
On the 27th I gave blood and the rest of the day was pretty much a total write-off. I think from now on, when I give blood, it'll be in the evening so I can go home and sleep instead of feeling miserable. I did, however, manage to use up a gift voucher. I got a cake tin, some cooling racks for cakes and biscuits, and some tea towels. I also got a better grater.
On the 28th I didn't do much because I was stil feeling a bit miserable. I know I got something done, I just can't remember what.
On the 29th I ran around trying to get more stuff done. I tried to get my camera sorted out (my Powershot is borked), and the JB extended warranty people are happy to do a direct swap. Sadly, I have to wait until Jan 9th for them to come back from holiday before they'll talk to me. I also get a message telling me that the quote on my bridal set was in (only took them 4 weeks), so I went to see what they said. Apparently it would cost me $1850 to have a $400 set re-made (with the same stones) in white gold that doesn't have nickel in it. Right. No.
Yesterday I had an awesome day in the city with my mother-in-law, her sister-in-law, and a friend who's down from Sydney. I bought a truly awesome game called Klop, which everyone should play! It's hard to find, though. They have a list of stockists in the website, but Capital Kitchen in Chadstone no longer stock it, and the NGV is currently out of stock, too. I know, because I bought their last one which was the display set. Some of the other places listed may still have it. I don't know how much the shipping would be online. What I can tell you, though, is that we have it at school and there was a bit of a mad rush amongst the PE staff to reserve one of our 4 sets for the holidays. I missed out becaue I'm in the wrong department and found out late!
Later that afternoon my husband and I went to get him a white dinner jacket for tonight (cocktail party) and we also popped to a shopping centre to pick up a few things. While there, we found a replacement wedding ring! =D Sterling silver, so I shouldn't have issues with it. I have a silver ring from the same shop that I've been wearing for about 4 years with no issues, so I don't anticipate any problems.
Today has so far been busy. We've cleaned the whole house, tidied it, bought last-minute supplies, and picked up out-door chairs from my in-laws. And we soon have people coming over. I'm a bit wrecked. MIght go play some video games.
UPDATE: I just remembered what I did on Wednesday! I went out and bought supplies for the new kitty, which we're getting the day after tomorrow :-)
