That's great news about the new iPad Andie. They sound good. I'm happy with the definition and functionality of the iPad 2 so more than happy with the deal I got. I quite often read my kindle while floating in the pool. I put it in one of the small zip lock bags and can very easily move the pages but I don't have the touch. I've never dropped it but have been thinking maybe I would try vacuum sealing but am worried it may damage it in some way.

here is the waterproof bags on ebay.




I would have to get one if I was using it in the bath or pool. I wouldn't trust myself!!!

That is exciting news Maddy. I can't wait to see the photos as you go.

Today I went for the first time to Costco. OMG! Unbelievable. You can buy everything from the kitchen sink (literally!) to a $ 370,000 ( yes, I have got the zeros in the right places) diamond ring!!!
Of course, you can also buy more mundane things like fruits and veg for very cheap prices but bulk quantitites as well as furniture, electrical appliances and so on. Definitely worth a visit.
