We arrived at 06:50 and it was already buzzing. The queue for DionWired was so long. Whoever had the patience to wait for the special they wanted, well done! I queued in the Coricraft line and was about number 15 so I qualified for the couch special, which I decided not to buy, but the young woman behind me wanted it and thought she may not stand a chance. The good news was she got it! It was wonderful to see how thrilled she was as she said, “It feels like I’ve just bought a new car”. Made our day! The mall is looking great and I’ll be back in the next few days to take a proper look around. As we left at 10:00 the traffic queues were jam-packed. What an opening day!
What’s new?
Mr Price Home is still one of the best home stores for well-priced goods and as I was browsing I saw a white artificial wood picket fence, which would be great to create a border around a garden bed or pond or even just as décor in the garden. The picket fence is about 30 centimeters in height and only R79.99 for a pack of three.

My condolences
One of my biggest fans who never missed reading this column, John Curran, passed away on Monday, September 21, after a tragic freak accident. You were such an amazing man and you lived for your family. I’ll miss you. RIP.
That is for this week. Shop till you drop!
