....or so it sometimes seems! Ever noticed how whenever you are shown a selection of anything, it is usually the most expensive one you want - I mean - must have for Very Sound Reasons?
That would be why I am eyeing off a four- figure kitchen tap I suppose! (Dear Santa, I am talking about the Perrin and Rowe "the Provence" kitchen mixer, bench-mounted - at your convenience, of course..).
Back in the land of reality. I have found a whole new evening hobby: trawling the entire WWW for house fittings at amazing prices. You've seen the girls' new bath, purchased online at about 60% of the price of anything similar. Some excellent traditional bath taps are also jetting their way to me (free shipping, FYI) for about 20% of the cost of the regular retail outlet ones. And I am currently stalking a phenomenal deal on some marble flooring for the master bathroom brand new in box, and left over from a Toorak renovation - stay tuned for THAT one!
This generally results in excellent positive reinforcement from Mr Laird and he assures me that such clever savings will handily support other line items that might need some extra "resourcing". Like a fancy kitchen tap. For example. Ahem.
