Tonight I was watching a crocheting lady on YouChoob rabbiting on about her new “dreambox”. I mean like on and on and ON ..
Foolishly I decided to find out what a dreambox is.
How I wish I hadn’t !
Go here and look ..
Unless I win PowerBall or the Lottery (for neither of which I have ever bought a ticket) I shall not be able to afford one of these extraordinary and fascinating and WONDERFUL things. But come to think of it, I couldn’t even were I to suddenly come into a fortune: they’re made in the US, and sold there and in Canada and in the UK (for Europe). I have calculated that were I to persuade them to ship me the version I wanted, I’d be up for something like – oh, AUD8K.

DOWNUNDER WITH BOODZ 
They are amazing! But it is actually terryfying to know that I’d feel all that space in no time and most likely son would need more space again… I’m a helpless case!

My worry would be keeping it tidy ! I reckon I could have it looking like a rats’ nest in a month. But I’d still give my back teeth to have one. Sighh ..

8K?? Seriously? It’s….a cupboard. Surely IKEA stocks something similar that could be affordably converted into an Almost-Dream Box?

Dullink, I AM including the (imagined) cost of bringing it Downunder on a ship. The thing itself – basic model – costs USD3K, roughly ..

Oh, only 3K. Well, that’s okay, then.

I’d wait. If DJT wins in November, that will be about A$500 by next year.

Have you been following the polls ? I know, I know: they were false last time. This time is different: there are 0 unknowns ! I’m reading twitter and being made happy. George Conway, The Lincoln Project, RVAT, etc. are doing it for me. Jake Tapper too. :)

I can recall getting excited at the idea of having one of those cupboards to keep the iron in. A decent handyman could make you one of those, M-R.

That would’ve had to be my late and totally beloved husband, CJ: no-one comes near him for inventiveness and skill. My current handyman is good, but charges $55 p.h.

Still, you’d get change out of 3K.

Oh wow, what I great thing. Like Kat I’d fill it up in a moment, and like you I’d have trouble keeping it tidy and organised, but we can dream, n’est-ce pas?

Absolument ! I have no idea why things like this appeal to me so strongly, Sue .. Maybe my hind-brain sees this as a way of never having to tidy up again ? [grin]
