Success is getting what you want; happiness is liking what you get

Another delivery today

After weeks of living out of boxes, our new bedroom furniture finally arrived today.  There was a hold-up in the South Island factory, due to the dispatch manager having a bad accident and being sent up to a North Island hospital.   We hope he is well on the way to recovery.

The carriers have been to our new home three times now, so certainly knew where to find us.  The new furniture was extremely heavy to carry, and they took things slow and easy.  Not like their first visit, when one of them dropped the bed base and damaged it.  Luckily this was replaced a couple of weeks later.

It’s been quite some time since we placed our order,  and we hadn’t realised quite how big the pieces were..  We think that when we measured up the room, we didn’t take into account the measurement of the door closing into consideration, or the fact that we were also getting bedside cabinets.   But luckily it all fitted in with a squeeze. So that’s several more boxes and crates emptied today.  All in all we are feeling quite pleased with our progress. We will just have to make sure we don’t bump into the furniture if we have to get up in the dead  of the night.
