new stuff

Look what we just bought!
Nespresso CitiZ + Milk
Pretty cool huh! We got some Harvey Norman vouchers for Christmas because we wanted to get a coffee machine.
Even though we live really close (as in across the road) to coffee shops, sometimes it would be nice to just stay in your PJ's and have a coffee at home. It can also be hard to get out with Abi sometimes and I'm not a huge fan of the coffee from the place across the road from us... Their bacon and egg rolls are another story!
Normally $499, reduced to $399, plus a little discount from my lovely folk at HN Broadway, add on 3 years Product Care (extended warranty) I only paid $384.30! But it gets better! Take away the $50 cash back promotion and the $150 of HN vouchers from my sister... And it's costing us a grand total of $184.30 Nice one! 
It comes with a heap of different pods to try and see what ones you like best! So there's a few coffees to be had there. Then we can buy  the ones we like from Nespresso (online!) and I was told they work out to be a bit over 60 cents!
We are just getting it all set up and sorted and will start testing it out once I buy some milk! (review to come!)

Normally my birthday come around and I never know what I want... Not this year! My husband bought me a beautiful bangle that I wanted. My sister got me some flats from Witchery. When mum and dad asked me what I wanted (well mum did) I knew in an instant! 
Being at home a lot more often, it's sometimes very quiet. Being used to having the radio on in the car or in the office at work I just normally had the TV on at home for background noise.
So instead, I thought what about an ipod/iphone dock, but one with a radio!
And hey presto!
Sony micro system
I'm loving it! It's a ipod/iphone (unfortunately not ipad) dock, with digital radio and a CD player too! I got the white over the black. And I like that we can mount it on the wall if we like. At this stage we wont, because I like that it's portable and we can take it outside. That's going to come in handy for our Australia day BBQ listening to Triple J's Hottest 100!

  1. I love both! They would be awesome, especially the Nespresso seeing I'm the only one in my place that drinks coffee.
