Trev has finally given in to Ted & Ruby’s constant reminders of his promise to get a dog! They have gone out today & put a deposit on a beautiful husky puppy…we can pick him in a couple of weeks. Ted & Ruby are just a little excited….

I can’t say I was as confident as last time - but that was 4 years ago & I have to admit to being older, not quite as fit & a little fatter than before. However….17km cycle ride in 30 mins & a finish time of 2hrs 9 mins all in was respectable enough for me. I’ll be collecting my medal on Saturday - hopefully by then I can walk properly!!!

Well , Vegas was a blast! No clocks on the walls & constant half light whenever you are indoors meant we had no idea of the time. The hotels are MASSIVE - it took over 12 hours to walk what would have been 3 miles as the crow flies - no wonder we needed all that beer to numb the pain in our aching tootsies. Between us , we have loads of photos to share - shall we do a sweep on how many? Or do’ya think I’ll mash you all again like in Jen’s magnet competition?!? Looking forward to the judging of the photo competition (or is that just a hardly needed excuse for a get together & a few more beers?)

    Just to show that a great camera doesn’t necessarily mean great photos…..

It seemed such a good idea to get new wardrobes fitted in Summer last year (yes that’s 2006) …. we had some quotes , decided we couldn’t afford it & put the project on the back burner pending up summing up the energy to visit Ikea .

Of course , we never found the energy to visit the devil’s store (there’s a reason they wear red T-shirts you know) and when a friend said “why not try MFI?” , we thought “why not ?”

The salesman wasn’t so slick , but at half the price of the other guys , we didn’t much care & we placed our order . Which was measured wrong. We were given a delivery date . Which was wrong . We cleared the rooms & then the delivery came …. just imagine the contents of 2 bedrooms PLUS 2 new fitted bedroom parts all over our house.

The fitter came (a day late & long after 9am) and started to work … guess what? the delivery was wrong , so he had to order more parts. One of the parts was delivered wrong a second time - apparently their system was wrong. They didn’t finish on time & came back again . They didn’t finish on time , and came back yet again . They drilled holes in our BRAND NEW floor.

Several stroppy phone calls and a very stroppy letter to head office later , we’re still waiting to hear anything at all from MFI .

If you’re thinking about it…just don’t do it !
