I think my title says it all - I AM HAPPY!
As the end of the financial year has just passed, and our tax refunds have been paid, it was down to some serious considerations into getting a dryer for me and a dishwasher for Les.
Why? Because our clothes line only gets sun for about 2 hours in the morning and none for the rest of the day and we are sick and tired of the girls being able to push dishes of the bench.
We went hunting at Redford’s Betta Electrical, where we have previously bought appliances from (our washing machine and fridge). The service there is just well, betta! They are a family owned and opperated business, and they really take the time to listen to your needs and come up with the product that will best suit you, and there is never any pressure to by any particular product.
This expedition, we were in store for almost an hour, inspecting and talking about products. Floor stock was limited (the store is small being in a rural town), but there were more from a catalogue that we could choose from, and we did.
That was Monday, and the goods were going to take a couple of days to get to us, so we payed half upfront as a faith payment, and walked away happy, even if we did go slightly over budget.
Thursday, being my payday, Les went in and paid the rest off and arranged delivery. He did this on his way home from picking up the girls, and by the time he got home, the goods were being loaded onto the truck ready for delivery! Talk about service!!!!
So, we have our new appliances, and they are already proving their worth! No more waiting for good weather to dry the clothes. No more scratchy towels and no more slaving away in the kitchen!
Yay! I’m so HAPPY!!!! Next, it is a steam mop and next year, a vacuum that will also shampoo the carpets (we soooo need it with our grubs!!)
