THE MACHINE FROM HELL..

My totally gorgeous, expensive as hell sewing machine is still not going that well. Yesterday I rang the shop lady back and suggested I come in (with the machine) on Monday morning and sew with it until it does it's 'crappy little nasty tricks' so she can see EXACTLY what it is doing....

She thought that was an EXCELLENT idea.... so that's sorted. If it continues to misbehave she will get me a totally new machine.

ABOVE: Griffin showing off his new pyjamas... we had to buy size 14 then shorten the legs and arms to fit him.... must be made in China, where everyone is an anorexic pygmy!

Today: dunno! Lie in bed? Let Stew sleep in? *sigh* ... I do know that today at some time we will be going to get those friggin concrete things for the driveway extension. Couldn't get them yesterday cos we went out in the car, not the van.

Apart from that.. no plans.
I got out of bed at 8, made the horrors some breakfast, and went back to bed till 9.45! It was FREEZING this morning, but has of course turned out to be a gorgeous day.

ABOVE: unloading the van... now for the hard work to commence! I will, of course, document it all in photos.....*smiles*... NOT that anyone OUT THERE seems to be reading this today! *sniff*
ABOVE: progress... when Griffin saw this he said:
"It looks like we are burying GrandDad again!"....
I was eating (guiltily!) a piece of ginger crunch and nearly choked on it! *LOL*
ABOVE: getting there! (Brylee is looking for worms)
ABOVE: I was not a total slouch while Stew slaved away, I planted out the Winter Vege Patch.
ABOVE: The only bug I want in my garden! He's so cute.
I've come inside now, it's getting cold and SOMEONE has to cook dinner I suppose. *sigh*
End of Day: we gots lots done today... so that is great! Off to bed now, we are both kinda tired. nite nite.

  2. You are showing such patience to go in and sew for them... you'd think THEY could figure it out, but well... if you can solve the problem or get a new machine.

    I hope they can work it out.

  3. I hope you get that machine fixed once and for all.

    There's nothing more frustrating than new gadgets that don't work. Especially expensive gadgets.

  8. The "brick" project looks fun ... NOT! - oh, and I'm reading :)). I hope the driveway extension wasn't as hard to do as I'm imagining!! Enjoy the rest of your day.

  9. My sis and I have been busy painting my bedroom...

    Hope the bloody machine issue sorts itself soon, just get a new one, under the consumer guarantee act, you are entitled to a new one if the old one doesnt do what its supposed to do.

    Cheers

    Okay, enough is enough, you HAVE TO INSIST that you get a new machine. I really think that you have a LEMON, I think you are so calm about it all, I would be out of my mind by now. Good luck for tomorrow! I really hope they swap it for a new one. KRISSY - SINGAPORE
