I love all the Tala goodies they have brought back.....and the tins they all come in are gorgeous!

Well I took a slight detour from invoicing....to www.booko.com.au  :P  have pre-ordered Peggy Porschen's new book, before the price goes up.



I love her books.....so beautiful!

MJ I have that set in the back of a cupboard that was my mothers, still in the original box.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Well I'm just about to go grocery shopping with the kids. DD 12 will push the trolley while I hop around. I do love the online shopping, but I miss going to the supermarket and seeing what I need and looking for specials. Not sure how I will go hopping around for that long. I need one of those walker things with a seat so I can sit down sometimes :)
Could be a big mistake, can I do it?

Only 1 week and 1 day to go :)

Dede, it would be nice to have a wheelchair when you go shopping, kids love pushing a wheelchair around (well, maybe not the older ones but the younger ones love it)  - probably too late now to hire one with such a short time to go but be careful, you don't need a fall and end up breaking something.

Oh fundj you have a problem then :)
You may need some professional help to break the habit ;D

Although I can think of some worse habits.

And Judy I definitely don't want to break anything. Although I'm pretty good on these crutches now. There is not much I can't do (except mow the lawns)
Although I desperately want to get out side to do some tidying up around the gardens etc.
Not long now and I will be out there doing all the jobs that need doing.

Uni, do you use tuppaware, or just any.
 Much worse habits around though.

As long as you are filling them with something Uni, I don't think you have a problem.  If you have a cupboard full of unused ones though - yes you do have a problem  :D  It is a harmless problem though so just give some away and you can start all over again.

I know what you mean uni by compulsion. Your pantry and cupboards must be a dream to look at. I just love jewellery boxes of all sizes. I hold myself back from buying them (for lack of jewellery to put in them), but just love the touch and feel, and opening of them  :-)) Probably stems back to childhood going through my mums, it was like a pandora's box.

Ok confession time for me. Can you beat this drawer fundi.  One of several hiding places for plastics.



I hate it when they are being used and not in their rightful place. Lol!

Omg gert you are just so organized. I dare not show my plastics drawer LOL. I have gone off using plastic and started to replace all my plastics with glass containers. At least I know I can donate all my plastics to Gert and fundj.

All donations gladly accepted so long as they are not ROUND!

I have thought about  the lovely glass ones like dizzy girl but it is so hard to give these up.

Ok I am organised but remember I used to work in an operating theatre so a place for everything and it bloody well better be in it when I want it. LOL!  Only a little obsession.  Well maybe a medium obsession. Everybody laughs at me but it is all about capacity control isn't it?  ISN'T IT?
