Wow Robyn. MY DH never buys me a book of any kind unless I am with him as he knows I may have it. A sensible idea. What is the Matt Moran book like? I have seen it round but have never tried any of his recipes.
Same here.

DH has very occassionally bought me some flowers but never a book.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Well done, I usually buy the chocolates. DH eats them. He gives me a voucher to DJ’s. I just love spending it. He hasn’t realised that I spend quite a lot of it on him. LOL

We tend to do that Chookie. I think it is as much fun to spend $$$ on family as yourself. 
DD usually buys the chocolates here and shares them with DH.

This is the book I used some vouchers for at Dymocks. There are several things in it I know I will make, so I thought it was well worth it.

I love her recipes cookie.  These are her 2 books I have, I have not seen yours - has it only been released lately I wonder. I haven’t seen it advertised.

Oh those books look interesting but I am not buying any more cookbooks. I have been buying some new clothes though, easy care and easy wear from https://www.kathleenberney.com.au  Love this label, designed and made in Australia so not cheap but the quality and customer service is fantastic. I bought orange and black camis, Lunar cardi and Wildflower tee at the end of season sale 8)

I love the Kathleen Berney too although I don't own any. I am strictly a TS14+ girl. https://takingshape.com.au/ Sold in MYER and also we have a boutique store in Cairns. You might like to have a look at these styles too Djinni as they would suit you as well. Ok I am short and fat so need the width but many of the styles look stunning on tall and gorgeous like you. The sales are pretty good but also pretty exxy when not. Lots of fun good basics for mix and match.

I’ve been sewing my own clothes lately. I haven’t bought anything for ages! So rewarding (and very frustrating at times)!

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I used to many years ago MJ but no longer. I now have mainly quite casual clothes and if I need something for a wedding or similar I go out and buy it especially. It must be very satisfying.

I have a pair of slacks from TS. They were bought on sale and are fab.
Most of my clothes is from Blue Illusion. I buy when on sale.

I bought a packet of treated paper that you pop into your bag of bread.  It is supposed to keep it fresh. Will post if it works.
