I'm off to buy a new dishwasher today. Mine died a slow noisy painful death yesterday  :'( and I had to do a sink full AND a dishwasher full of not washed dishes. Hubby had declared that "I will not do dishes" ... but not quite so politely! The kids have done what kids do best - whinge, and I've decided that life is too short, so I'm buying a new one!

I was eyeing that one off, too Dizzy Girl, but I decided to wait. I have bought the pressure cooker, preserves, kids cakes (the vintage reprint), the new kids cakes and a few magazines in the last couple of weeks so I figured that will do for now... Let me know what you think?

Warning, I. Bought one of those small perfume sprays in London last year and the perfume shop,  Penhalions, filled it with their very expensive perfume .  No charge!!! After a few weeks it had evaporated.  I would like to know if anyone else has this experience as I am loath to fill it again.  I think they are a great idea and also bought 2 as gifts.

Wonder I have Sally Wise's first slow cooker book and plan to buy the second too. I love them. As you said though, no photos.

Obbie I have just bought the small one as it is such a BARGAIN. I recently bought a similiar one for DH but I really wanted a Paklite as I know how hard wearing the are. $49 I am a happy happy girl.

Also had another win today. I found in the Lifeline Shop a pair of pants EXACTLY the same as a pair I recently paid $79 for in Myer and they are Brand New, different colour and only $5. Two wins in one day.

Yahoo. Also bought some other stuff at Lifeline. My second favourite shop to my Wonderful Salvation Army Shop.

I love Bargains!
