We went back to Myer in Chatswood today to complete our gift registry list. We started in August but didn’t get much onto our list that time.

Our registration number is 603502. We’re also happy to receive gift cards.

A new frying pan is one of the things on the list since I broke our one last week. A huge field cricket was lurking in it as I was drying it. The surprise of seeing it made me jump in shock and throw the frying pan in the air, and the handle snapped right off when it hit the floor!

Things which they don’t have at Myer that we need are tools (power tools especially), lamps and other lights, and any sort of storage device (my favourite shop in Australia is Howards Storage World!), so don’t feel tied to the Myer list.

We went to Myer in Chatswood on Monday to create our gift registry. I was pretty disappointed with their range and we managed to get only 16 things on our list before we gave up.

Unlike many couples, we’re not in the usual situation of already having furnished our home and not needing anything. Neither of us are motivated to go out and shop for that sort of thing, so we’re mostly still using whatever Tim bought when he was at university. And what I bought at uni is at the back of my parents’ garage 10,000 miles away. To give an example, we moved into this house last September and have yet to buy a sofa despite giving away the old one on freecycle before we left Melbourne. So, it ought to be easier than this to find something we both like and need in Myer.
