Present And Accounted For

Imogen's friend rang at an inconceivably early hour this morning. Imogen wasn't minded to take the call so we advised her to call back later. She did Imogen wasn't in the mood to play so didn't take up the invitation to go visiting.

This actually played well with my plans to take all the girls to Bayfair to help me pick some presents for Di. I was advised by the girls that chocolate was not a good idea as they had already bought loads. Di was OK for perfume having scored a large bottle duty free on arrival. She had also warned me off jewellery claiming she had enough already. Hence the need for some inspiration. Not that the girls were much help - they zoomed straight in on Wendy's for ice cream. We did however make a stop at Westpac where I opened accounts for Imogen and Rhiannon. Alas Imogen wasn't old enough to have her own account, so she had to have me as a name on it. Also she wasn't allowed an EFTPOS card, unlike Rhiannon. This didn't cause quite as much agro as I might have expected. Maybe this was because Imogen has managed to save quite a stash of cash which she deposited and I had to sub Rhiannon $20 to be going on with.
I did eventually come up with an idea, but of course, I can't yet say anything, can I!

Just as we arrived back the furniture repairers turned up and I helped the chap load the sofa into the van. He promised it would be back the following day, which was a relief otherwise we'd have to spend Christmas on the floor.
