So another weekend has passed........

We went to the mainland to see if we could find dd a car.  Dh has spent hours and hours checking out different lots to see what there is offered there, and had found about 5 different cars we wanted to look at. 


We found that 3 of the 5 were not exactly as they  advertised... ok that is putting it mildly they were a lot less in good shape than what they said.  2 were in great shape, but of the 2 one dd loved a lot.  Anyhow we came into a problem the dealership closed for the weekend, but they did have a friend there who let us take it out for a test run etc.  We would have bought the car right there after all that  because it is really a nice car, but the guy who let us take it out could not do the deal for us.  We would have to have stayed over for 2 nights and dh would have missed work today if we wanted the car... we thought about it but thought that is a lot of money spending on a hotel and then again on missing work and dd missing school, so we came home............  empty handed.


When dh gets home from work he is going to call the dealership and perhaps we will buy the car and go get it on the weekend, or we might just wait and see what else comes up in the mean time.


I went to Ikea and found some new pillows for dd, and got myself a new pole lamp and some candles. I could have bought a lot of stuff there but held back.


On the ferry ride home we were exhausted, so we grabbed seats and tried to get some shut eye... I found that the seats were way too uncomfortable to sleep in so I got up and walked around a bit.  As I was walking around I was window shopping in the gift shops, and when I came to the closed and locked door I saw a woman inside the store.  She hollered through the door if I could please help her, apparently they closed the shop and left and didn't realize she was in there.... and she was locked in.


This poor woman was pretty shaken up, I imagine she was thinking she would have to spend the night in there... as that was the last sailing for the night and it was all locked up tight.  I went and found a couple of the ships workers and got them to come and let the woman out.  I was hoping that they would have refunded the woman her fare for the inconvenience but they  just laughed when they let her out and said well that is a new spin on shop til you drop, then they relocked up and left.


We got home late and it was after 4:am til I made it to bed.  Not bad since I was up at 4:45 that morning.  I did manage to sleep til about 8 so had a good night.


It is raining here today, I was hoping for some nice sunshine, but suppose we need rain as well.  I am pretty darn tired today probably because of the rain mostly.


 


Hope everyone has a wonderful week!



Hugs,

Lor,if she's meant to have the car she wants it will happen. With car sales down I am sure they will accomodate you and Al. Driving so far and coming back empty handed must have been frustrating. Living where I do and having car dealerships all over and hearing what you had to endure makes me appreciate what I have a bit more. Rest and all will be well.
