Have any of the Perth people seen the dino mechanical thingies at garden city shopping centre?
Wondering if it is worth driving my 31/2 year old to see, he loves dino's. But an hour each way...not sure?

Oh, I miss freckles.  I used to get them "occasionally"  ;) but they don't seem readily available anymore.  The odd bulk food place has them though. I must look out next time I go to the local to stock up on choc chips, which will probably be soon as I am about to spend the rest of the morning making cookies for DS's school fundraiser on Friday!  I'm a sucker!  :-))

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

I've seen a giant freckle/speckle about the size of a side plate somewhere but the small ones are more dainty to pop into your mouth.

To the speckle/freckle lovers.....make your own  ;)  too easy.
I don't like a lot of the bought ones....they use nasty chocolate....but I expect the Haigh's would be sensational  :-*

Armoire update.....well it nearly arrived yesterday  :-)) :-))
Got a call mid morning with appologies, to say the removalist arrived to pick it up, and they refused for that company to deliver it, as their truck wasn't big enough to fit it, it was a mess, and she had no confidence that it would arrive to me un-damaged *sigh*
I am thankful she cares enough for it arrive safely here after all this time....but jeeze...what next?
She warned me the removalist may ring me, as she had a screaming match with them about it....sure enough...2 minutes later he rang me ranting LOL.
He tried to say its on me for cancelling, and and was telling me how much money he was out of pocket to go there....well the catching flies with honey thing worked, and I hand balled it  :)
It's cost me 3 days of the last week of holidays, waiting around  >:(
.........EAT CAKE!

Maddy you will sigh with relief when it actually arrives.

Haigh's freckles are delicious, I have to agree. Most of the ones we bought last year made it home over the Nullabor.  ;)
