So, last week we ordered a new washing machine (which you can see to the left), but it was a little bit funny actually because after we’d ordered and paid for it we received an email the next day saying that they could no longer supply that washing machine and if we’d like a refund. Normally I would consider it good business practice to offer alternative washing machines and at the very end of the mail mention that a refund would be possible if desired but there you go. Really funny thing is too that it was only the model we were looking at that was superseded, so really the company (mentioning no names) should have simply advised us of that and ask if we’d like to go ahead with the newer model. Anyway, to cut a long story short, and as I’m sure you can already presume, we realised that the model had been superseded and changed the order to that one. Seriously though, they could have lost a sale. It’s really cool looking though and should perform pretty well and we’re being environmentally conscious since it has an A+ energy rating. It’s called the Indesit Moon…….funky name too!
Also ordered a new phone as I’m just using an old Nokia for the interim since my last phone broke, ordered it last week (actually got my sisters boyfriend to pick it up in London because phones are a lot cheaper there!) and he sent it on Friday and I can see by looking on Royal Mail’s website that it was sent to the Berlin Mail Depot on Saturday but as yet has not arrived to me. Now I’m starting to get a little bit anxious because I’ve had a few things get to the Berlin Mail Depot and just never make it here, I think the last thing was a pair of speaker stands. I don’t really want to lose faith in the Berlin mail service but I must say, they are not really instilling confidence in me. I guess I’ll wait until the end of the week and if it still hasn’t turned up will have to get Chris (my sisters boyfriend) to make a claim, bugger! Problem is I really need a new phone as the battery on the old Nokia just doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. Oh well, let’s wait and see.
Second interview today, wish me luck. Thank god it’s a bit cooler today though, nothing more embarrassing than sitting with people you hardly know and sweating profusely (some would say like a glass blowers arse), I guess you gotta be lucky sometimes.
Well, been studying German pretty hardcore lately and as usual, the more you think you know the more you realise you don’t. It’s a real p.i.t.a. that the last two exams are so much after the course has finished. Again though, what can I do? Still, should be ok, really need to practice my speaking though because that’s the hard part for me these days.
Anyway, better run, will keep you all posted 
Well, as I guess most of you have heard, an iconic figure in pop has died at the tender age of 50. Details were released today of his death at the Beverley Hills home where at about midday on Thursday he stopped breathing. He was pronounced dead two hours later at the UCLA medical centre. Jackson’s brother, Jermaine, said he was believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest.
