I have one similar to that leather jackets for my iPad Julie - my SIL in Melbourne bought it back from the States at some stage, must have had a spare one at home as he sent it over very quickly when he saw I didn't have one.

Meagan I have a breville platinum 4 slice toaster that I bought from Target. It has a warming rack which pops up so you can reheat pastries, pizza or warm bread rolls. I really like it. Here is a quick, but poor, photo of it

I have had that in the past  and quite liked it. The warming thing is good for leftover roll heating.

Yes Yvette I do.  I makes it a lot thicker so once you get used to that, it's great for protection.  I don't always use the little stand thingy, the iPad doesn't seem to sit in the right position when I am laying in bed ( :-))) but if I am sitting up it is OK.

Those iPad 'bean bags' would be good for sitting in bed.

Thanks for your thoughts!  I will head out today and try to find something. I am pretty over using the grill to toast bread. We had a kitchen aid toaster which wasn't cheap. Cost $40 to get a quote for repair at total of 225  :o so yeah don't think I will be getting it fixed and fairly po'd about paying $40 for someone to spend 2 mins looking at it.........

meagan, we had a kitchen aid toaster also and it was the worst toaster we ever had ended up selling it for next to nothing at a garage sale.

I got the party pie maker yesterday from Myers. Not bad free postage and ordered on Friday delivered to the west on Tuesday.

I had to go out this morning and there was a 'Kitchen Witch' shop nearby. What can I say!

The basin will be perfect for steamed puddings in the varoma with no leftovers. They had all sizes. Will definitely be going back.
