Our refrigerator down...

Just as I thought we're about done with the changing of items in our home, our refrigerator breaks down... Well, what can we say, having stayed in this home(our very first own home) for slightly over 6 years now, I guess it's time that some items begin to give way.

Some time ago, I've noticed some water vapours on the freezer door and I had wondered if it was due to my turning the temp to a higher level. It did seem ok after I've switched it to lower to suit the lesser quantity but yesterday, a few months later, I took the vegetables out and found that they've deteriorated(bought just 2days ago) and the fridge seemed to smell a little inside.
Today, I told daddy that perhaps our fridge is spoiling as its temp is not cold enough even after I've switched it to almost the highest level. We've thought about it and decided that it might not be worth the trouble to get a repairer, might end up paying for his transport and still have to buy a new one, so it's time to change...

We went down to compass pt after daddy came back at 7pm and after a quick dinner at Burger King, we went to Kiddy Palace - to look for some of the stuffs in my list and the alternative high back booster seat. Found one but not ideal, so decided to temporarily use the existing one first until we find the ideal one(waiting for Mothercare's reply anyway). Meantime, I managed to get these 2 :

'Pampered Princess On Board' sign, there's another one that says 'little princess' but it was in blue and daddy said this one looks nicer(pink) - or was it more like the title suit our Renee better? hahaha
'Dora' sun shades

We went over to Best Denki thereafter and found a replacement fridge but as we were already too late for their 'buy today, deliver today' policy and also that the schedule for the next day's already full, we were told to come back around noon later(as there are always cancellations everyday) and they'll try to slot ours in, for the evening. I really hope so, as our current might not hold much longer to keep whatever's inside edible!

We've also bought a new iron(finally...) 'cos our earlier cleaner had broke our 2nd iron! and a desktop fan.
The sales people in the respective departments were recommending us all the higher range of goods but this time round, all we're looking for are the average ones... Daddy was almost convinced to buy one of higher range of the Philips iron,*faint* but I managed to change his mind on time, I see no point as we won't be the ones who do the ironing mostly now and if this cleaner is going to spoil our iron, it'll sure be a heartache if we get a too ex one. Yet, with this, we still end up with one of the medium range - S$129(less 10%) for an iron :(
