A lot went on today. First off we took Sofia with us to the mall. First shoe shop we went to I found 2 pairs of shoes that could work well, so we got them both (as you do ;)). Then we went to have a look at some ear-rings and I think I have found the perfect ones – even ended up being convinced to buy a bracelet to go with it. Sofia is not a big fan of shopping, but her daddy is quite comfy to snuggle up to and when he puts up the little head shield that comes with the carrier… well then she falls asleep (at least for awhile).
Next up… we went to have a look at cars. Mike will be taking over my car, and I will get a new one (well… second hand, but still… oh yay). Ended up with a sales person come to our house with a car I liked (Subaru Impreza RS). Mike bargained like a hero (played hardball!) and we got the car for an acceptable price – yay! The only thing is that I need to learn how to drive a manual again… However, since I used to enjoy it and I now have managed to stay on the right side of the road (which is the left side ;)) for awhile, I should be more than capable of handling a manual in this country as well :)). You can see the car above (not that precise one, but same colour and brand)…

Everything falls into place. Wonderful team work. Good for you, Mona, shoes and some jewellery, you feel to belong again to a wider community…. -:)

Hmmmm ended up not getting the car after all. We cancelled the deal because Mike will get a lot more for his car if he sells it privately. There is no rush for us so we’ll see when the time is right. Probably better for us not to spend any money or get more debt at the moment 🙂
