Obbie, we're a bit like a car yard at the moment too - new SUV and Ute for us, plus the 2 previous wagons, plus 2 vans (one being driven by worker though). 
But we just sold one of the vans yesterday  ;D Yippee.  One down, 2 to go...or maybe just one if we decide to hire another worker.

I got my car yesterday, and DH off to pick his ute up right now!   8)

Just trying to catch up with this  thread,  :D ;D
 Great cars ladies  ;D
Also some great information, I had wondered what had become of the Eucalyptus GF, there are a lot of items disappearing from the shelves these days.  Those shopping bags look interesting, may have to have a closer look.   
As far as cook books go, have already slipped another two in  :D ;D

I purchased a blue tooth speaker for my Ipad and even have it working, that fact alone is amazing.  Also bought a small recorder to record things for the future, both for DH and myself.  ;)

Maddy I love it. Is it stainless steel? Imagine having bees on your cutlery, that is awesome.

18/10 stainless steel....I was torn with the peacock set too....but it was WAY more in price  :(



The bees were on special, and free shipping to Aus.   8)
Link to their cutlery....very nice ;)

Today I bought 2 toilet seats, since the lids on both our toilets were cracked - kids grrrr. Then bought a new bag for myself, the one I'm using now has GOT to go. Sadly not a Chanel one - I was in the Chanel store yesterday with a colleague (just to look) can't believe how busy it was! Don't these people read the price labels lol!

The flatware is just beautiful, Maddy.  I wouldn't be able to decide between the Bee and the Peacock...

I have to take someone with me when I go to Neiman Marcus -- :o  and I leave my credit cards at home. 
I have a similar problem at Dillards - I try to avoid the entrance where the  handbags are sited with the center display counter with only Coach bags, to which I seem to be addicted.

I have no excuse for buying another set of flatware.  I have several sets of SS as well as my great grandmother's high Victorian silver with all the odd pieces that the Victorians loved so much.  My grandmothers is more modest with an Art Deco design from the early '20s and I have the set I received for my first marriage in 1961.  All require polishing so I keep them in their "tarnish-proof" chests except for very rare "special" occasions.
My favorite SS is a set of rather heavy, old-style Towle with a "beaded" edge detail but otherwise quite plain. I like it because the dinner forks are large  with long tines.

Am quite safe coming to this thread in our current circumstances.
Window shopping is just fine!

DJ I don't shop very much, as I  am always at work.
Only really on school holidays we go shopping, and the movies.
