Once you make that choice you can start to address a few issues. For example, we splurged on an answering machine that actually tells you when there's a message waiting. We decided we couldn't keep blowing off all our maybe future friends like that …
For months we were surviving on 8 forks, spoons, knifes, but recently we bought another set, so … we can have friends over for dinner!!!!!!!!
We're down the three oops, two wine glasses, so it's time to find some nice restaurant grade ones. We're here for the long-haul baby! Ah - since I first started this I have bought some more glasses, but not the restaurant grade ones I was hoping for. We'll get there though.
Today as I was walking down Flask Walk from the butcher (I swear, when they are closed, we go hungry …) I saw a very nice looking espresso cup+saucer set at a "junk" sale. I think they just raise money by getting stuff from people who are moving out of the area or something. I ran home and got Sue and she came back, and we got the whole set for < £20, including four champagne glasses (we had none, and people who know me know how much I love champagne!), so we're good to go in that department as well!
I've been meaning to send this post for a while, to be honest. Sorry, no pictures, but our recent trip to Wales ought to make up for this boring post.
