Today I "chucked a sickie" ( shut up, you love ). It's true.

I was just so tired from yesterday's fun and games.

The high point of my day? The 4-slice toaster D and I ordered arrived! Yay!

Shut up.

You have no idea how joyful this news is......firstly, our old toaster was a fire disaster waiting to happen. It's casing would burn you. Also, D likes his toast stenchy and burnt, and never turns the dial back to nicely toasted (what he terms raw toast). So, not only would his foul slices tain the air with their stench...I would often have to toast 4 slices for 2 acceptable slices. Oh the trauma!

But now! Now! Now we have a 4 slice toaster with dual controls. Now that, my friends, is what makes life worthwhile.
