Double beauty: the most comfortable chair ever, and it can be ordered from amazon.com with credit card! Only the best for Cate! :-)<br /><br />I remember my first days here. Utter chaos. Desperately trying to purchase a €400+ Swedish vaccum cleaner from Mediamarkt. First, the €400 limit, to the bank, new limit at 1.000 something, back to Mediamarkt. Still not working. Back to bank. Closed (they have few and far between hours offering hands-on customer service). Somehow I managed to get ahold of the cash. People looked at me suspiciously when I showed up with it: There is that strange woman again, the one who has no money in her account and takes three days to bundle together €400 - or worse. I don't even want to know what the customers behind me in line were thinking back then!<br /><br />I don't even want to start talking about the €1 coin you need to disengage the iron chain of shopping carts! In my desperation I once went around with armfuls of groceries, unloading them at the conveyor belt of a closed checkout (at least those are abundant) and run for more, only to find that my first load was already back on the shelves. Talk about elves! ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-13504272654184958162011-05-10T20:28:29.697-04:002011-05-10T20:28:29.697-04:00lol @ maalie - your comment about your ex-wife had...lol @ maalie - your comment about your ex-wife had me off my seat :P<br /><br />Can't wait to hear what Cate thought of your purchase :)notforeverybodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643033332545498042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-20581994310335247292011-05-10T18:23:21.981-04:002011-05-10T18:23:21.981-04:00Maalie, you've trumped the Badger's blog!

If you lost your card, you might be glad that the thief could not drain your funds by more than the limit.<br /><br />Talking of which, my ex-wife's credit card was once stolen. I did not report it because the thief was spending less on it than she was.Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576491677537070551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-75759951706109608532011-05-10T11:31:55.988-04:002011-05-10T11:31:55.988-04:00Good guy for getting the chair.
