Just had word that Sydney BookCrosser [livejournal.com profile] sabavana has joined LJ. She's the young lady who fronts up at the doctors and they slice off her BookCrossing t-shirt before asking if there's anything wrong.

In other news, I spent half the day with my teenage daughter looking for two things - a new fridge and a couple of Narnia books. Let me tell you that at the moment it is a lot easier to get hold of a new fridge!

We finally found the books we wanted at "The Bookery" and the fridge was in the fourth or fifth mega-store after a great deal of comparison shopping. I started off looking at "upside-down" models, because that's what we have now, but ended up leaning toward the "side-by-side" type, because we're always cramped for freezer space, and the fridge we eventually purchased was one of these, with a larger capacity than our current one.

It was on special, standing side by side with an identical model $700 more expensive. The only difference was the brand name. And they included delivery and hauling away the old one within 24 hours.

So that's that. Another sizable chunk out of the credit card. ***SIGH***

Fridges

I understand your pain Pete. I'm worrying about the day my 20+ year old fridge dies... and believe me it's coming up. With no job at the moment it's a very scary thought.

I too favour the upside down models. They didn't have them when my current one was bought and I think they look like a terrific idea.

Welcome to LJ. It's fun, and friendly and you already have something in common with all the people in the BookCrossing community. Go forth and enjoy!

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

I replaced my fridge last year with a new roomier model. The previous one lasted 18 years so I don't feel too bad about the expense.

Ta for the welcome :-)
I spent all day Saturday shopping for a freezer. Not as much to choose from as you'd expect, and not a good idea to park the car and walk the 2km 'bargain strip' on a stinking hot day. Got the freezer though, so the sunburn was worth it.
