July 12

In the morning, Michael took us to IKEA to help us buy some remaining stuff that we needed (like more hangars, and some kitchen supplies). It was a pretty painless trip to Ikea, since we had a list and could search for the best deals. We ended up being back around noon! Then Michael offered to drive us to the mall at Indoorpilly, which had another Vodafone store and bank. We ate a snack there, the other two girls opened bank accounts (I had already opened mine in April), and we stopped by the Vodafone store, but didn’t buy any phones. The plans were all overwhelming and more expensive than we were hoping for. Plus, I was still undecided about getting an iPhone 4. We shopped a little, and waited for Michael to pick us back up and take us home. At home, we discussed the phone options and decided the most economical would be to buy a blackberry via eBay and go onto the SIM only plan. This was the best option for me, too, because Blackberry is the only phone that would allow for FREE unlimited internet usage. The other phones would be almost double in fees and I’d have to watch my internet quota.
