I believe microfibre cloths are handy in the fridge crisper too   
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

We've had ours for around about 15years and it is still great.....just in case anyone needed a little bit of persuading  :D

I've had this tin sitting in my shopping cart at Amazon for ages, but of course it couldn't be shipped to an Australian address.....so.....I used a mail forwarding service in the U.S.,  (myus.com)...and it's on it's way  ;)
As well as pastel candy corn (just can't get it here).  Wanting it for Easter pops







And bought 2 x 8.5L containers for flours. 



They were 50% off, so $7.49 each.   The checkout didn't register them on special, so as per Woolies policy, I got 1 for free  :D
So $7.49 for the 2 
.........EAT CAKE!

Great shopping again maddy - love those checkout errors  ;D

I bought canapé tins from Amazon recently and had no problems with shipping - why was this tin of yours a problem?

because it wasn't stocked & sold from amazon directly.  Certain items are sold and shipped from other stores, so that's when some of them require a U.S. postal address.....not a problem, I have one now  ;)
If goods are in Amazon's warehouse, it's shipped without an issue.

Great buys again Maddy.  I've noticed that the postage from Amazon has greatly reduced also.  I have bought quite a few things that have been cheaper including postage from them than buying the same article in Oz.  :P

I have a US address now, too . . . .courtesy of comgateway.com . . . . be interesting to compare some of these services as time goes on, Maddy.

You have to love amazon's tracking facility - order arrived on my doorstep 2 days ago and they're still saying it's in customs . . ;D ;D

it was the folding airing rack that Maddy convinced me I had to have (and I must say, it's brilliant!! - thanks, Maddy!!) . . . . ;D ;D ;D

Oh oh Peters is at it again. http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Public/ViewNewsletter.aspx?ID=374

Cheapest I have ever seen this pasta maker.

I've seen those too Gert.  I'm trying to resist, but it just seems like such a brilliant special doesn't it?  :o
