Yeah I like the mugs, they're not elegant or fancy or anything, but they're practical. I'll be honest though, we have like a hundred mugs already, and that little two-pack of toilet paper would cost all of 50 cents in the shops. The package was better than nothing, but only just.
The one remaining item waiting to be fixed from our inspection was straightening up the gas hotplate knobs, and we had a guy come round today to do that, but the silicon they'd used to fill up the gap on the bench prevented him being able to remove it to straighten a bent pipe underneath. We had a crap tradie out to do our job, from the sounds of things, and he bent the pipe in there pretty bad and didn't notice (or care) that it'd bent the knobs.
We had to call maintenance to get someone from Homebuyers out to take care of it, but I imagine being in for quite a long wait with that one. We can still use all of the knobs no problems, which is just as well, because if we couldn't, I wouldn't hang up the phone without having been given a time and date for a fix.
It's all good. Despite our adsl cutting out early this morning, Beth recently upgraded to a nice new phone plan, she got an iphone 4s with 2gig of data. It's a neat little device, you set it up, plug it into a usb port, and it sends the internet to that computer.
It's slow, and with only 2 gig of data we can't do anything approaching what we were doing before, but at least we're online, so for now, at least my hands have stopped shaking
