I'm on a tea leaf ban (self imposed). 10-15% of my pantry is hot beverages and I'm the only one who drinks it. My sister used to work for unilever, I can only imagine how much tea she would bring home if she was still there.

Gorgeous rings and great price on those mats.

3 silicone mats...only $6.99 through eBay seller



Have bought this particular one before & I actually prefer it over the TM mat.
Of course it's pink! :D :D :D

Thanks for the review of the silicone mat Maddy...my mum's been looking for a good one for a little while so I just popped onto ebay and bought her one (in her favourite colour -light blue) thanks again for the recommendation :)

I like the markings on those mats. It would make it easy rolling out pie crusts and pizzas.

Just bought my self a dyson upright vacuum the animal, I was shocked how much dirt i vacuum up just in my bedroom, goes to show my old vacuum wasn't doing a very good job.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I bought a dyson upright several years ago and couldn't believe the amount of dust and dirt it sucked up.  They are very good!

I don't regret buying my Dyson upright. It is so easy to use. It is almost a pleasure to use it.

....and I got the cupcake ;)
Also 2 purple mink throws for DD's room & they sell herring pieces in sauces....the tomato one is just so yummy!....grabbed the curry one to try.
Then I went to Darriwill farm....never leave empty handed  :-)) picked up some black truffle oil, box of pink salt flakes, chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, big tub of vanilla chai tea for DD, vacuum champagne bottle stopper & never leave without a takeaway latte....they're the best!
Then at target I picked up Jamies new book and a grgeous black satin round cushion with bling, for DD's bed.

I bought 12 of these this morning at Big W for $24. Now my jam etc will look respectable.

I also couldn't resist these 2.
