THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Katj]

I saw that Big W stocked that book, I will check it out this week. The new Gluten a Free book & chip is available from tomorrow. I may go into head office and look at it also. We are not GF, however I saw the contents list some time back for this book and it looked interesting.

It certainly is Jamberie. Tenina's last book was printed by the same people and was also available from Big W.

Thanks for letting us know cookie.  Our Big W is one of a few stores operating while the shopping centre undergoes major renovation and although I generally avoid at great cost this might be reason enough to venture in?

[EmeraldSue]

I popped in and bought one too!

Lovely, we can share successes and failures.

Thanks girls. Will check out Ballarat BigW.

Did a bit of shopping yesterday, a car seat for DD as we may have to use the present one for the baby and a change table for the baby... Didnt buy one the first time due to budget constraints and didnt see the point as you use it only for few months...
But this time, splurging a little bit I guess

[cookie1]

The new baby will be honoured to have a couple of things specially for him/her. Are you getting excited Thermilover?

True Cookie, it will be nice to have something new for the baby, I being the younger one of two siblings, I always got my sister's clothes, so know how it feels
Actually, I am getting excited and nervous at the same time, not sure how I will be able to manage two kids, think I will just go with the flow

[achookwoman]

Thermilover, you will cope. Certainly go with the flow.

[cookie1]

At least with 2 children you have 2 parents, one lap for each child. Go with the flow is the best thing out.

[Katj]

Thermilover, you will cope as long as you don't try to be Superwoman.  Get as much rest as 2 kids allow, (not easy I know), and try and have a backup of meals in the freezer.

[thermilover]

Thank you all for the wonderful support
Katj, its very true, I was a cleanliness freak before my DD was born but now I dont think about the trivial things any more From the time I have stopped making it tough for myself by trying to do everything, I feel much better, so will be taking it easy..

[Jamberie]

Yep, Thermilover, my standards have certainly been lowered since having #2! We are also trying to renovate our house, but it's taken a back seat because the house can wait compared to kids ☺


I've just found a stainless steel tray that fits the varoma on the TM Essentials website (perfect for Chookie's lemon chicken and others). For $32.50 I thought it was fairly reasonable, then I'll be able to donate all the bowls Ive kept for the same purpose but don't quite fit!

Thermilover, take care, go with the flow, If it doesn't get done / cleaned / sorted today, there is always the next day to do stuff.
