Oh all those parcels people are eagerly awaiting   How upsetting.

Where was the van that caught on fire? I ordered a smoker for my DH for his birthday and presumed it was running late cause of the floods....

The van was heading to Highton in Geelong Brummington.....where are you located?
It would be a complete bummer if your parcel was a one-of-a-kind item!



OK, so I don't think it was on there then. I'm in the Lockyer Valley and my nearest post office is Laidley so am thinking the floods would have caused the hold up. Thanks for letting me know!

Yesterday I finally found the handbag I have been looking for. I put a deposit on it and will pick it up tomorrow. It is so hard to find the perfect handbag these days. Now to find a new purse :D

Did the food shopping this morning and bought the latest Food Idea like I usually do and then saw this New Idea book. It looked quite good. $10 I couldn't resist.

That slice looks nice doesn't it Cookie - how they get such perfect squares though is something I fail miserably at.

That slice does look good Judy. I find with cutting slices you need patience, a really sharp knife and dip it in hot water.

Great news Maddy. Still no parcels here yet.

Maddy I am glad your parcels didn't get frizzled. I hope yours haven't Kimmy.  :-\

I always wash the blade between each cut if I want perfection :)

The books look great Marie. I have heard that Rosa's Farm especially is really good.
