My husband has a knack for finding bargains. I don’t know what it is, he doesn’t even like shopping. I have to drag him around the shopping centre every time we do groceries, but he has this built in radar for a good bargain. It drives me crazy, because if God is going to bestow such a gift on someone, wouldn’t you think it would be someone that could get enjoyment out of it (like me)?
Seriously though, the other week we decided that we were going to get some blinds for our conservatory. It’s been sitting neglected in our yard for years now, and it seems such a shame to waste it, plus we could do with the extra space now that our kids are turning into obnoxious teenagers. So I went out for a full day, looking at blinds in every shop I could think of, and couldn’t find anything in our price range. I ring hubby up, exhausted at the end of the day, and tell him the bad news. 1 hour later, he comes home with the trunk full of cheap conservatory roof blinds. He says he “just found this place that was having a sale” on his way home. Drives me crazy, I tell ya.
