We went once and saw some lovely stuff, so we are going again.
Hopefully there is one particular stall guy there today. He sells really lovely wooden boards and so on. We were really impressed with his products last time we were there.
Once we have been there, I suppose we will come home and continue with the packing. I'm saving a lot of money by doing it myself, so it's worth getting on with it.
I shall probably be taking another load of breakables and wall hangings/paintings down to storage on Monday.
ONWARD...
Well the wood guy wasn't at the market. Sad.
So next thing to do.... buy a chilly bin for our fridge stuff when we move.
Ever tried buying a chilly bin in WINTER?
YEAH. DIFFICULT.
2.02 pm: Well it was a fruitless hunt for a chilly bin. We shall now just buy a couple of really cheap polystyrene ones to use for the move.
We ended up at Sylvia Park for lunch. Now we are home and it's getting VERY DARK outside!
We had an awesome thunder storm last night, and another one is due tonight... something tells me it will be soon.
Tomorrow we plan on going to the Cleveland Market, hopefully the man who sells wood products will be there.
Chilly bin search is over. Kelly has a big one we can borrow for our move... EXCELLENT!
We will buy a new one next summer for ourselves.
Pizza for dinner... ate too much, as usual.
I really am hanging out till we move to join WW again!
Have you tried Plastic Box for the chilly bin?
ReplyDeleteYep just been there. We can"t find a good sized one so are going to get a couple of cheap polystyrene ones for now.
DeleteBriscoes? On sale... http://homeware.www.briscoes.co.nz/search?w=chilly%20bin
ReplyDeleteYep, we went to Briscoes, they only had the small chilly bins left. We will need a big one.
DeleteI meant to order online... get it delivered to your door :) But the idea of the free (or cheap) polystyrene boxes sounds like a better idea.
DeleteThe wheels of progress keep rolling! ~smile~
ReplyDeleteIf you have a friendly greengrocer, they have large polystyrene boxes that brocolli come in, they are nice and thick, stack well as they are rectangular and FREE. Good luck with the move, Heather
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest one of the local supermarkets for a broccoli box or a tackle/fishing store. We have a couple here but postage would be a killer :-)
ReplyDeleteChris, there are chilly bins for sale on trade me
ReplyDeleteHey Chris. Try Briscoes - http://homeware.www.briscoes.co.nz/search?w=chilly%20bin - but order it online. The delivery is only about $5.00 and an excellent service. I never go into the Briscoes Stores these days - I do it all online, couriered to my door. You're more likely to get what you want as they source them from their entire stock.
ReplyDeleteBunnings is another option ... http://www.bunnings.co.nz/search/products?q=esky (they have a specialist outdoor area)
ReplyDeleteMega Mitre 10 is a third option ... http://search.mitre10.co.nz/search?p=Q&w=chilly (Once again you can order online - but you nominate a store to collect from)
ReplyDeleteRebel Sport ... http://sportsgear.www.rebelsport.co.nz/search?w=chilly%20bin
ReplyDeleteAlso been eating too much, life is too short to ignore all the good food. Now that's its winter we have to eat. Has a burger, pattie was stuffed with bacon and chees, it was too small, feel like another one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness my spelling not good, only saw now.
DeleteWas so nice seeing you even if just for a fleeting moment..... Might be seeing you closer and more often lol.
