Today, one of our leading household goods shops had an offer for furniture bought between 9 am and 11 am. 40% off their price.
Samu has outgrown his bed. Joanna, Tony, Daniel and myself went to the shop to buy the bed.
What a throng of people there were even before the shop opened!!
Samu and I quickly took our place in the queue to pay for the purchases while Joanna and Tony with Daniel wandered around to choose what they wanted.
Each household discount coupon entitled purchase of only one item.
So I could purchase one item from Annikki & my discount coupon and Joanna could purchase one from her family discount coupon.
There was a lot of complaining in the queues as some queues were virtually static. The shop was not quite prepared to handle such a rush.
The bed was bought as a joint present from both sets of grandparents. Joanna bought a beautiful wooden chest for her living room.
Annikki and Jacob Matthan live in Oulu, Finland. Annikki is a Finn, Jacob an Indian. They are the founders of the Findians Movement way back in 1967. Both are now retired. They have been married for 57 years. This blog is an account of their lives and thoughts as reminiscenced through Annikki's and Jacob's eyes.
