What cheeses me off

WCMO. I know it shouldn't but it really does when I see stupid drivers who park across the footpath, this one this week at the Reserve Rd entrance to North Shore Hospital where many using the footpath are not well or need assistance. Even worse when they have a towball tongue which are generally removable but the lazy sods leave them in place permanently.

I posted how we bought furniture from Fantastic furniture and it arrived as flat packs. Had 2 quotes of $160 other quotes of $250, $350 and $400.

As it turns out wife's friend loves putting furniture together for a hobby. She came over 2 days ago and put together the 4 flatpacks in under 3 hours. We also had a small desk that I could never do and she also did that one in less than 2 hours. My wife was the helper and they enjoyed themselves. Also bought some flowers for housewarming present.

I dislike flat packs and have to consciously take an extra dose of patience before starting construction. I can appreciate that those paid to put the things together get a bit of a premium payment to take into account they have had to master each set of instructions for the range of products.
