Welp, I've seen Mum and Dad off after a last coffee before they head up to Bali in about an hour. I'll have to make do with Channel 7 for the footy for the next three weekends =/
For the rest of the day I went light shopping and, briefly, curtain shopping. I've got a couple of curtain samples from Spotlight, one of which is friggin PERFECT for the bedroom, so I'll see about getting a quote tomorrow when I take the samples back.
Lighting, I think I've looked at every place that sells lighting in the general southerly area. Four places on Anzac Highway, couple on South Road and Marion Road, Ikea and Masters down at the airport. The following is just consolidating for my own purposes. ( lights and dollars )
Sooooo after my initial quote from just Beacon Lighting for a tad over $1500, I've whittled it down to a total of $1391.90. Better, but still hurts. See what sorts of discounts I can wrangle out of people. Bunnings won't budge, they're not in the business of haggling. Beacon, for the Odense and possibly spotlights, and Lightspot for the Napa and Remy I can probably talk down. Even if I can get another $50 off each of them that'll be better. Then I get to hire an electrician and everything, too. Ew. Money. BUT THEN PRETTY LIGHTS.
