A Christmas Song for the forum :)
This is off another post, but I thought I'd share it with the forum... been written one line at a time by; SteandLeigh, Moneypen, ProofReader, Simone, Polly & myself 
*Ah-hem*
On the 12th day of xmas, my tightwad gave to me
Twelve cold and desperate brits (waiting to leave)
Eleven barbies burning,
Ten burnt fingers(from the car steering wheel),
Nine cases of heatstroke,
Eight cane toads a-croaking
seven crows a-cawing
six iced lamingtons,
five rose tinted spectacles,
four whinging poms
three moaning trolls,
two barking dogs
one sheeps dag
and a koala in a gum tree.....

Twelve drunken Brissie girlies.......

They're ok - large spongey jamey things covered in coconut - quite light to eat. Shops are full of them out here but they're just as overrated as Timtams in my opinion

"Lamingtons Pack 6 $3.63 inc GST (Cost Price)
Delicious sponge cake squares dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut. Who could resist this traditional favourite?"
If you have children at school, you will soon find out what they are, with a "Lamington Drive". We have just found a school that doesn't do these, the parents pay a voluntary donation to avoid them
