It's been a bit busy and I haven't managed to scribble something down each day. Having a visitor in the house changes the dynamic. However, I'm back.
Marilyn commented that she needed to buy a new doona; one of the older ones was getting quite shabby and needed to be replaced. Goodie, I thought, another job for Temu. The prices were great and we knew that the quality would be excellent so I placed the order. It arrived on Friday in a vacuum-sealed package. After I gave it a good shake, it was as I expected - beautifully made, lined with satin ribbon. The only problem was, it was too big. I must have misread the dimensions. No problem, I thought, I'll just order another one or cut a bit off this one. It will be inside a cover and no-one will see a rough edge.
Not good enough! So we spent yesterday afternoon shopping for a king-size doona cover to accommodate our cheap Chinese doona and a new cover deserves new pillow cases as well. So, our bargain from Temu was not such a bargain after all.
I had to order something else yesterday and I discovered the minimum order to get free delivery is now $45. That's going to put a spanner in the works.
