Spending too much.

          

 

                  

 

Hope you are all well on this sunny afternoon.  We have had quite a day.  My hearing aids have not been working very well this last week or two and Stuart has been having to suffer the TV too loud and also having to shout at me.  This morning I phoned Audiology  a PRI and was so surprised when the receptionist said they could see me today in fact it was only an hour and half later. So we got our skates on and drove up to Perth.  Was in and out in no time all sorted just needed some new tubing in each aid.  We then thought we would kill two birds with one stone and went round to the retail park to see about a new kettle and a new phone.  My new kettle lights up in the inside when it is on and whistles when its ready. We have just bought a normal cordless phone this time and we are using our old answering machine as it is so simple compared to the one that just broke down. Will have to wait to see if I can use it as it is digital but they don't tell you if its is hearing aid compatible and if it is not I will get a big whistle (more whistling). Not too worried about not being able to use the new phone as I can use the one in the kitchen.  The two handsets of the one that is broken work as a intercom system, one downstairs and one in the study so that's handy. This sounds a very complicated entry hope you can understand my ramblings.  After these two purchases we had a walk round PC World and there we bought a new MacAfee Security for the PC so that's me all spent up for a while. Well can't believe that its four fifteen already where has the day gone bet start of the dinner. Love to you all
