As usual when I'm working from home I can't resist a bit of online shopping! Bought one of courton's thermo diva aprons for a friend, and some vacuum cleaner bags (boring I know). Also been trying to find a quilt cover I like online - need to replace mine because the cat and dog seem to have been playing chasey in my bedroom and my quilt cover got ripped! Luckily it's pretty old... still haven't found one I'm in love with.

Found these cook books on special yesterday,


Do you thiink you will convert any of the recipe Marie? That pie on the front of Rosa's Farm looks delicious. Is it blueberry and almond? :)
The tart on the front is an Almond and fruit tart using fruit of your choice.  I think the one on the cover contains blueberries though.   It also has  ground almonds and flaked almonds.
Re converting the recipes Amy, I would have to get someone with a TM to do that

Cookie, they both have some great looking recipes in. The Farm one was $19.99 and the other $14.99 Yes I know I have enough recipes books but could not resist.  :D :D :D

Kyton I wish we had an Aldi closer. Hopefully they will still have some when I go to Tamworth next Saturday.

Sadly I have several thousand km to my nearest Aldi. Please come to WA Mr Aldi?

We certainly do. I am so sick of not being able to buy the brand I want in the stupidmarkets.

I'm a recent Aldi convert and loving it. I'm doing all shopping including animal food, toiletries etc for about $150 a week.  I get my fruit and veg from the local market so I love their quality but if I've ever bought fruit and veg from Aldi I've found it very nice. Love their dishwasher tabs. $7 for 40 tabs if I remember correctly. Bought a wok last week for $6!
