re-establishing - 07:44 PM
(filed under 'general')

re-establishing smiley & i in australia is really expensive. it probably wouldn't be so bad if we'd been able to take everything with us from bahrain, or else have been able to keep the stuff which we had to get rid of to go to bahrain, but mind you, it would have cost thousands of dollars more to get there & back if we had kept all our stuff. as it is, the extra stuff which is on its way (soon) from bahrain is already going to cost more than $2000 (AUD) to ship back.

even with some major furniture items being donated or lent by family, there's still so much more that i need as time goes on just for making life easy & comfortable. there's the car, various household items such as a fridge, shelving, even small things like cooking utensils. i already got lots of cooking things from family, but there are always a few things that you don't have which you can't steal from them. lol!!

it's not so bad, though, i've been doing it slowly but surely over the few weeks since i've been back. there are still quite a number of more expensive items to come, but nothing which can't wait for a month or two. for instance, i need to get a computer desk for mine & for smiley's computer. since i'm not planning to go anywhere soon, i'm trying to buy wisely & get quality items which i know i'll be able to use for a long time & which i also like enough to not want to have to replace before they wear out.

thank goodness for ikea, because i've seen so many great things there for really fantastic prices. hehe.

i'm actually quite enjoying the process. it's nice to be able to choose the things with which i'm surrounding myself & it's a nice challenge for me to make it just as i want without spending too much.
