Let's Make A Deal

Jim and I depart from Singapore on 31 January, and how we managed to accummulate so much is beyond me. Help lighten the load and save HP's stock price from our shipping charges! If anything grabs your interest, please make me an offer via
email
.

The one caveat is that you'll likely have to collect the larger items yourself, though I'm happy to throw in a Lonely Planet and a plant or two to make it worth your while.

Vidal Sassoon Hair Straightener Claimed!

Yes, it's a lost cause in Singapore, but this does help. Plus it has great sentimental value to me as it doubtless saved me from suicide after one bad bad haircut.

Vidal Sassoon Curling Iron Going, going, GONE!

Vidal Sassoon adjustable temperature curling iron
Not a toy! Gets really really freakin' hot. Even hotter than the air in S'pore. Amazing.

Hair Dryer

Because if you're just going to wait for it to dry in this climate, you're going to go around with wet hair for a looooonng time. Number one complaint of expats in Singapore: mildew.

Router and Modem Snapped up by the newest Singapore Adventurers

Motorola SB5100 SURFboard cable modem
Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz Broadband router

Now you can stream your favorite You Tube videos in the kitchen, in the bedroom, even in the bathroom! Just think: you have no idea where I am as I type this. God, no, not in the bathroom! Sheesh!

Weights Gone Oreddy!

4kg dumbbells

Time to tone up those arms! Summer and sleeveless tops will be here before you know it!

Clock Radio

24-hour digital display
AM/FM radio plus alarm

Painfully loud alarm guarantees you will not oversleep. (Void this guarantee by setting it to go off to the radio.)

Electric Kettle Too Bad! So Sad!

For those cold wintry mornings when a cuppa hot chocolate is just the thing. Also useful for caffeine addicts.

Tefal Iron Sold! To the beautiful lady across the hall!

Tefal iron w/steam

Never used! Well, not by me, at any rate.

Delonghi Aqualand Vacuum Cleaner

Bagless system uses water tank to collect dirt

Nothing actually gets wet unless you don't do it right. Jim.



Philips Vacuum Cleaner

Philips 1400 Watt Max Vacuum Cleaner
Basic lightweight model and attachments
Pipe is cracked near its top, but it still works

A useful weapon in the war against the ants.

Plenty of room for a plant, a laptop playing your favorite DVD, your feet, and Jim's feet. You'll likely have to hold the popcorn on your lap.

Four Teak Dining Chairs No Sitting For You!

Bottom step has been broken and re-glued

A magnet for children, hence the re-glued bottom step. I really love this thing. If you don't want to buy it, perhaps you can suggest a good spot where it will fit in my house in Colorado.


Teak Sideboard Sold!

Two-door/two-drawer teak sideboard
Purchased at Vintage Palace (Dempsey Rd) in July 2005
27cm deep x 100 cm wide x 85cm high

These feel really really nice on carpeting-deprived feet.


Patio Furniture Claimed!

Sun-bleached table and four chairs.
Comes with the world's largest canvas umbrella, which we've never used.

Excellent karma from many happy hours with friends.


Really Freakin' Big Shoes

Just kidding. I'm going to miss these guys.
