Promised that I wouldn't buy anything more from bid, after the last problems I had, but ended up forgiving them 'cause it mostly wasn't their fault for a change, and now everythings been sorted without any further expense to myself. I decided I'd buy a stepper cause my last one was a stepper that rocked from side to side it was made from metal, really cumbersome and difficult to store, wouldn't fit anywhere! and the amount of times one of us hurt themselves tripping up over it, or having it fall over and bang us on the shins.
Saw a nifty looking stepper made out of plastic on bid, looked lightweight and compact so great! I do try to hide my shopping habit from OH a fair bit, and hope that the stuff arrives when he's out and I'm in! His day off was yesterday, and he told me when I got home that they'd left a card saying a parcel for me had been delivered to our next door neighbour, and sorry I didn't have time to collect it for you.....God I'm glad he didn't! He said why not go and get it now...I duly banged on the neighbour's door only to be greeted by the young lady holding a box so large that you could just about see her feet at the bottom, (I'm not actually joking!) I thought it must be something else...but as I grabbed the box I saw the familar sit up logo on the front, I dragged it into the hallway and thought...sh*t, then thought perhaps, hopefully.....please may most of it be packaging!!! Was it heck....I opened the box (which was incidentally and very thankfully light!) and no, to my horror this red plastic monstrosity filled the whole box up!!!! It was the size of one of those kid's cozy coupe toy cars...ie..Feckin' enormous"! I just stood there in the downstairs hallway thinking wtf am I going to do...he will go BALLISTIC if he sees this! Thankfully he was very busy cooking. I took it out of the packaging and flattened the box and put it behind the bin outside and took this huge obelisk upstairs into our bedroom, there was nowhere to put it, eventually I had to empty my wardrobe put the clothes into drawers and put this blinking thing in and shut the doors... What am I going to do, it'll cost an arm and a leg to send back, but I've got nowere to put it. I thought I'd be able to stick it under the chair in the bedroom....ha, bliddy ha, it's nearly the same size as the chair in the bedroom...you've got to laugh!...but really HELP!!!!
PS. I've had a go on it, and it's really good, but I 'm sure it didn't need to be so flaming big!
