So much for my budget!

Everything was going fine with my budget until we got a message from our house sisters that the fridge had stopped working. There had been a thunderstorm but it could have just been its age. it was twenty years old.

This is where its so great having internet and on line shopping. We checked out new fridges, had to ring house sisters back and get them to measure the alcove that the fridge fits into as the first fridge I was looking at, would not have fitted.

Anyway we ordered one over the net and arranged for it to be delivered. It was Saturday evening that we had the message from them and they just emailed to say the fridge has arrived.

With delivery, it was $900 and I think when we bought the old one which is about the same size it cost about $1500.

Some things are unpredictable. Our good friends around the corner lent the house sisters their small bar fridge so that they didn't lose any food.

Aside from the new fridge, our spend for the week has been $719.87 so pretty happy with that. We have had some cheaper caravan parks, five nights at $25 a nights and now we are here for three nights and it is $30 a night fuel is also cheaper at $1.12 a litre.
