We've been lucky that the home we are renting has a number of appliances in it that we can use, so we haven't had to rush out and buy a TV, stereo, toaster, washer/dryer, vacuum cleaner.
But, in case you wish to psychoanalyze our priorities and deep-seeded needs, here is what we felt we needed to buy, in order of their purchase.
- Hair dryer and Alarm Clock (3 days into our stay)
- Baby monitor (1 week into our stay)
- Cell phones (we don't have a land line)
- Espresso machine (used, and not working well)
- Microwave (5 weeks into our stay)
- Electric toothbrush, iron, and. . . anyone care to guess what this is?
To be continued. . . .
I had to smile reading this because it is so familiar. Our toaster, alarm clock, and (until recently) my hairdryer are all over 20 years old and we don't have a TV or radio or many lamps. I guess they are low on our priority list. :)
ReplyDeleteNot sorry to leave behind your vacuum cleaner?! I'll pretend to be insulted, since that (or some ancestor) was your wedding gift. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll guess boot dryer/warmer for the appliance. or an electronic bracelet holder? Nasal vacuum?
You are correct, Linda!
ReplyDeleteBoot dryer it is!
