WILL TODAY BE THE LAST OPEN HOME???

 

Our fingers are firmly crossed for a FINAL Open Home today.

Wouldn't that be just the best thing ever?  

It's at lunch time today, so not too long to wait to get it over with.  *We won't know if it is our last Open Home until next Friday btw. 

I think I mentioned yesterday ? that we are planning on attending the Morrinsville monthly market eh?  Stew spoke to the organiser last night, and they have accepted us as stall holders.

So with that in mind, and knowing we can't spread out like we can at Tamahere and St Andrews in Cambridge, I have to re-think the configuration of our stall.

I went over to our storage unit and brought back our 'old' bowl cosy shelving unit.

After today's Open Home, I will set up the racks in the garage to see how it will work.  I won't be hanging any runners on the racks, that's not necessary.  And it shouldn't take me long to get it sussed out either.  It's not like it's the first time I've done it eh?  lol

So, that's me for now... I better get up and do ???  Certainly not housework, it's all done.

Last night's sunset was AMAZING!   I took this photo, but it really doesn't do it justice, it was so much redder.

ABOVE:  It was much more blood red than this photo shows.

Little market story:  At our market in January, a lady came and bought a runner.  A bit later on in the day, she came back and said she wanted to swap it out for another one... so we were happy to do that for her.

YESTERDAY she came back.  With that runner.

And said it was the wrong size, even though she had taken it's measurements and was sure it would fit. So she wanted to swap it out for another one, AGAIN.   

I was like OK, and so she fossicked around, looking at all the runners, checking their sizes etc. 

Meanwhile, her husband is standing back, shaking his head and looking quite embarrassed.

She FINALLY settled on another runner, and then just stood there looking at me.

Then she said, "I want my $5 refund, because this one is $75, and I paid $80 for the other one".

I was 100% positive she had only paid $75 for the original runner, because I KNOW how I price them (on size).  But to avoid a scene, I gave her the $5.

When I got home, I double checked the runner in my inventory... and yes, it was a $75 runner she had bought.

I was like really pissed off. 

Yes, it is only $5, but she lied.

And I fucking HATE/DETEST/LOATH LIARS.

If she dares come back again trying to switch the third runner out, I will be telling her to FUCK OFF in no uncertain terms.

And there ends my 'little' story.  Or was it a rant?  😂😉  Best thing?   The runner she finally settled on was one I didn't even like, and had been in stock for ages.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOYCE

She has now spent over half her life with our Mike, and is the most adorable, loving, amazing addition to our family.

We all love you Joyce, have a wonderful day. 

💚💙💜

Open Home done.  Then had a yak with some family who drove by... which was lovely.

After that we drove out to Taco Bell and met up with Bex and the kids for lunch.  Steve was supposed to join us as well, but he got called out to do an assessment of a building fire.

His company primarily does work on damaged buildings/homes etc.  

So we might see him later on this afternoon for a little while.  I hope he's had his lunch by then. 

 😋

Now that we are home again, it's probably just going to be a quiet afternoon.

I will lay out a couple of new runners to work on this coming week, I'll need something to do to keep my mind off the 'countdown'.  

We are now going out for an ice cream, cos that's what I feel like.

Well our ice creams were just lovely.  It was have an ice cream, or go buy heaps of lollies that would be in the house all week till I ate them all.... so having an ice cream was the better decision eh?

We are now winding down for the day, looking forward to bedtime.  It's been a fairly busy weekend.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
