Thanks everyone. It is exciting. A new something is always fun.
Yes Gayle, Outback means off road. We can take this van to Mount Augustus next time.

I'm shopping for my secret Santa at work. The friend has recently started a cake decorating business so looking to complement her tools. To the experienced decorators out there, do you have some favorite purchases that might inspire?

Bought a dress for our anniversary weekend and the hospital Christmas party today from Cue. Also picked up a top from Jaqui E and wanted a pair of navy shorts. Tried Rockmans, Target, Kmart, Susans, Katies (all way too short/too long) and ended back at DJ's buying a pr of Tommy Hilfiger's. They were 25% off or I wouldn't have got them. Happy with the buys.  ;D

Lovely shopping Mich.

Trudy we will probably wait until school goes back next year before we go away. We get the van next Tuesday and DH will put special racks in so that our crockery sits up right, poly pipe tubes under for the waste houses etc etc etc.  we always put indoor outdoor carpet through the van too. Then when we come home all we have to do is take it out, put it on the driveway and scrub it with a broom. It keeps the floor of the van ice for when you sell it and I like it underfoot.

He is talking of SA again.
