Making the most of a trip to the city

Tweet

We both needed to go to Bunbury in Western Australia today to sign documents at the bank. We are closing two accounts that we have there. When we need to go to this city we try to make the most of our trip. So we went to a place which sells building supplies and made enquiries about the materials we’ll need to renovate the bathroom in our caravan. We then spent over an hour and a half at the bank which was annoying but at least it is finished with now. We then checked out two thrift stores. At one we bought a heap of children’s clothing all at 50% off. This particular shop has the price tickets in different colours. Each week clothes with a particular colour ticket are 50% off. Today we chose clothes with purple tickets and saved ourselves $25. At the other thrift shop all summer stock for small children was heavily discounted so we bought some more clothes. These will all go to Nepal in October and will be given away to needy children. Our last stop was at the hardware store to buy new camping chairs and some globes. We also checked out gas struts which we’ll use on the doors of the new cabinets we’re making. So we made the most of our trip but it’s good to be home again. The photos show the cabinets we built into the bus we converted. You can also see the gas struts which hold the bed-frame up and allows us easy access to the storage space underneath. There is an air-conditioner in the centre top between the cupboards.
