THE NEW IRON

On Good Friday Bruce put the ironing board up then switched the iron on. It flickered on then off.  Oh no what was he going to do, shock horror we don't have a spare one which surprises me as we have spares of spares.  One of our spare rooms is virtually taken up with spares or extras of food items etc. as you will never know when the shops are going to be shut.  HELLO! most shops are open until late so all you have to do is go out for the item you require. But no panic mode sets in if we don't have a replacement straight away.

Anyway we had a very busy weekend and being Easter weekend the shops WERE closed Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We made it through until Monday when Bruce went to the supermarket for some items and bought a cheap iron for $17. He tried it out that night complaining that it didn't feel right as it was too light.  SoTuesday we had to go into the cbd to purchase  another iron. I was exhausted and dreaded the thought of traipsing around the shops to compare prices for the best deal.

Luckily enough we started at Myers where they had a small range but reasonable prices. We stood there for a while checking out the wattage as the more grunt the iron has the better it lasts. The sales assistant came up to ask me if we wanted any help.  At this stage Bruce almost laughed as I DON'T IRON. Anyway we finally decided on the right iron for us, took it to the counter to pay and the lady still directed her questions to me. LOL! In the end we got a good deal as the shelf price for the iron was $90 but rang up at $69 on special.

So now Bruce is happy with his new iron.  And guess what WE HAVE A SPARE IRON lol!.
