And So the Auntie Goes Shopping

I was asked what I wanted for Christmas. It was a really hard choice to make between the two. Both are black. Both are useful. Both cost just about as much.


In the end, as I recalled Cabbycabcab gushing about how great the OSIM iEcology was, about a year back, I succumbed to the auntie in me.

AND the deal was made so much sweeter with the fact that I could trade in my old pinky vacuum cleaner! I would have loved to keep this petite one (as it takes up less storage space), but it had already died on me twice.

So now, we have Eckie in the house - it's an early Christmas pressie for both The Boy and me - meaning, if he has a share in this pressie, HE HAS A SHARE IN THE VACUUMING .....

Haha... I happen to own the other useful black gadget! Great minds, great taste hor? In case you still intend to get the other "blackie", it's cheaper at the airport without the GST :-)

pillo > Serious?! Haha, so it's good eh?!

At the airport, without GST? But that's only if you are flying what. by the way, when are we having lunch?

yuling > hoho, so i'm not alone! if we are not auntie, we must simply be practical people right? Although I'm still thinking about the OTHER blackie....

haha, yeah, will let you know how it works, when we clean the house this friday. ;)

ok, i can't believe you picked the vacuum cleaner ahead of the bag, though it looks really NICE. haha. maybe the bag can be your bonus/increment/treat for ending a busy period/celebration of your 1 yr + 1 mth anniversary present? :D (Yes, I actually do whip out those categories of gifts SOMETIMES when it's NECESSARY)

Jemej said...

Haha, ok the way you put it babe, there's ALWAYS a way to rationalise every of our purchase decision, isn't it? ;)

by the way, the vacuum cleaner's REALLY cool. really. ;)
