The behemoth that is our telly

Let me tell you about our recent purchase. We bought a new TV. Not by choice but our old telly died.

And do you know what happens if the telly died? A little of hubby died with it.

If you don't know my husband, well, he LOVES his telly. He cannot live without one. We are a big telly family, we love our dramas, movies and reality shows (me). Hubby loves his sports and for our telly to die during rugby season is not acceptable.

I got to say, this has to be one of the most expensive purchase we have ever made recently. Not that we have deep pockets or anything like that, we don't. If anything, we are borderline broke. However, this purchase is a must.

The justification that we gave ourselves was that, we hardly buy ourselves anything which is a true hard fact. We don't shop or spend leisurely and most of our salary goes to bills, living expenses, mortgage, loans, doctor fees and that freaking childcare fees. Occasionally we go out to have a meal but other than that, we don't really shop much. Even if we do spend, its mainly for one little person.

And how often do we buy a telly anyway? Right? Besides, we had a pretty good deal too.

So with that said, we signed a few forms, burned an even bigger hole in our pockets and now a massive telly currently lives in our lounge room.

And that my friends, resulted in a very very very happy husband. Quote and unquote ' I love my new telly! I would sleep with it if I could!'

For size comparison - it is massive. The bigger the better right???

Busy setting up - that's a tiny 32 inch TV we took out from our bedroom to use for the time being.

Behemoth TV is up!

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with our new telly, but my excitement level is no where near as his! Hahaha

Let's celebrate!

What a whirlwind of a weekend we just had. We have been really busy over the Easter break, with Easter, extended birthday celebrations and visitors coming in and out of our home. Nontheless, it's been such a great time seeing old friends again and getting reaquainted.

John celebrated his big X0 birthday and I have to say he had a great time. His best mates Johnny and Rick flew in to Perth to celebrate with him and it was fantastic. They brought along their new better halves, Clare and Ann and it was lovely for John and I to finally meet them in person.

One of the boys, Rick actually made a surprise visit and turned up knocking on our front door on the morning of his birthday. He flew in all the way from New Zealand! All of us were not expecting him to come as he told us that he had to attend a wedding hence would not make it to Perth. Who knew it was all a cover up.

Unbeknown to me, I opened the door in my PJs, undone hair and a cuppa tea in one hand (should have got John to do it for better effect!). I was, well surprised and slightly embarrased I might add and screamed 'OH MY GOD!' the minute I saw Rick standing on our front door. Talk about surprise visits, this one tops it all. Rick never visits Perth, even after continous effort of asking him to.

It was fantastic. I'm glad to see my husband enjoyed his birthday with his mates. It's not very often the three lads get together since everyone is living in different cities. The last time we were all together was on our wedding day which was 4 years ago! In between then and now, we've seen Johnny and Rick seperately. So its great to see them reunited again.

They are still here until the end of the week, so we still get to spend some more time with them until all of them bugger off back home to Sydney and New Zealand on Saturday. In the mean while, here's a couple of photos from the birthday.

And yes, I made that cake, in case you're wondering. Chocolate Truffle Cake it was. I delibrately left the base of the cake tin on because I dare not remove it in case it get ruined during the process!
