There’s a shop that I’ve found in Ebenezer Place in Adelaide – Leonard St. Online store here. It has a bunch of clothes with this distinct sloth print, tops, pants, dresses, bags, even shoes. Pretty pricey, but worth a look!

Comfy beds for sleepy sloths
The bed got delivered yesterday. But it was not a very good day…
The mattress got upstairs fine, but the base of the ensemble wasn’t going anywhere. The delivery guys just dumped it with us and now we have to get a refund and pay for return delivery. Oh well. So then we had to try and find a bed frame for the mattress as it would take up to 8 weeks for a (more expensive) split base.
A long trip to Ikea later, and we thought we had one picked. But then the stated dimensions of the mattress were bigger than the frame, meaning it wouldn’t fit. So we abandoned all plans there. Went home and actually measured the mattress, and it was slightly smaller than the stated dimensions, so it would fit.
It was over 40 degrees yesterday, as it will also be today, so after all that we were pretty hot, tired and fed up. When we got invited to a family member’s house for a swim, we figured it was a good idea. It was. Then we looked at the time and it was 8:05pm, so we quickly dried off, went back to Ikea on the way home, grabbed the bed frame and a couple new side tables (with the frame sticking out our current ones wouldn’t fit anymore), and left Ikea at closing time 9pm. Got the flatpacks home and put the bed together all with help from the boy’s parents.
Finally, at 11:30pm, our bed was ready and we could make it with the new clean crisp white sheets. What a day. I guess it was worth it all though… the bed looks great and Doza and I (and the boy) had a wonderful sleep last night (despite the 30 degree overnight temperature)!
We just bought a bed
Finally, after trying out countless mattresses, we have selected and bought our new bed. Looking forward to having better nights’ sleep and waking up more comfortable. I really do have some sort of “Princess and the Pea” complex!
Anyway, every sloth should have a beautiful comfy place to lay its head.
Now we just need to get it up the stairs… oh….
Dreaming of the perfect bed
The Boxing Day sales have seen the boy and I trying out countless mattresses today in our quest to find the perfect bed. Such hard work. Should have taken some experts with us…
Woolworths Super Animal sloth card
Did you know that in Woolworths’ current Super Animal Cards promo that you might find a Super Sloth card??
It’s a sound card too! If someone comes across one I’d love to know what the sound that they chose is. I hope it’s one of these.
Online shopping and me are totally biffles
Yes, so, Christmas is coming, and I’m about halfway through my Christmas shopping. So far, all except for two things have been purchased online, from the comfort of my couch/bed, with them being sent straight to my door ready for wrapping and putting under the tree (when it eventually goes up).
No busy crowds, no messy lines, no “Oh but your catalogue said you had it in stock! Better drive to another shop”… seriously, it’s the only way to do it. Mainly, the only things I don’t buy online these days are electronics and toys, and that’s mainly due to ease of return. Oh and clothes for myself. And shoes. But OTHER THAN THAT, internet. The best way to go.
