I love the look of that mug and the fact that it will fit under the coffee machine. I have this one here and just bought another one for DH. Love them as they DO keep hot or cold for the 8 hours. I love taking them and drinking a coffee on the way home from demo's, branch or state meetings  ;)

Sorry I should have said what it was.  It is indeed a coffee thermos flask.  I like it because it is leak proof so I can just throw it in my Uni bag.  It also fits in the drink holder in the car and you don't need to remove the whole lid to drink out of it, you just press the centre.  Oh and they also sell replacement lids if anything happens to it.

I used it today and my Chai tea was still hot at 11.30am even though I made it at 6.45am.

It was $22.95 from the health food shop, so the way I look at it I only need to take 3 more teas/coffees to Uni and it has paid for itself.

My collapsible dish drainer arrived on my doorstep yesterday. This is great, the dishes sit a bit lower than normal to the benchtop so the kitchen looks more tidier. It can be folded down and popped into the dishwasher for cleaning, or put away in the cupboard. Its not huge either.

I'm loving it Meagan.  Love that it fits in the car cup holder and also that I can throw it in my bag and have a hot tea when I'm ready for it.

Do you find it stable on a tabletop foodieprep? Only ask, as it looks narrow at the base and possibly top heavy. Love the idea of leakproof

I managed to track down the Wilton 1M piping tip to make gorgeous buttercream topping on cupcakes (thanks to the inspirational members on this forum) and I have been looking around for a Pasta Drying Rack for ages. Lots of internet searching for local suppliers and found both at Matchbox in Garden City. I used to make the spaghetti and hang it over a chair while I made more, but the dog keep eating it while my back was turned.

Been meaning to get one myself. Last time I made pasta I carefully laid it out on a teatowel and covered with another till I was ready the cook. The &*^% cat came along and walked over it (what it was doing there I'll never know) and it all stuck together.

It was only a matter of time maddy - a donut maker made just for you - they must have seen you coming. I know, you went for the donut maker and came home with the TV as well  ;)
