not allowed to go visiting this new year, been stuck at home playing monopoly. my mum's been spring cleaning, i've been watching her do spring cleaning, and this new year, the Momentous Event to Start the Year is:
our toaster is being thrown out finally :( those who have visited my place and had a helping of Toasted Pizza from the Horribly Charred Toaster Plate should remember it (amidst cringing and mouthwash). but it's seriously clean, just a little black, and we use foil with it, so you actually eat Essence of Aluminium instead of Black Stain from Toaster.
i mean, seriously, this is so upsetting. this toaster's been in my house for like, since i can remember. it's probably as old as me, and older than both my siblings combined. and it still works. and personally i wouldn't throw it away for any stupid new toaster in the world, but the plug already looks like this:
and we're afraid we'll wake up to find our house burning down one day. so that's why it's got to go :( i was thinking about cleaning it up real good to put in my room as pencil holder or something, but i think my mum won't let me. will she? will ask later.
meanwhile, this is our new toaster:
well, it's not really new. we got it a few years ago as a spare in case the old one sputtered and died, but it didn't (and it's not dead now! :'( ). at this point in time, another family might have already used this new toaster into oldness, and thrown it away, but in my house it's now the Old New Toaster. bet it won't last even a year :( they don't make toasters like they used to.
