The only similarity being that we both work with objects made from plastic!!!

OH MY GOD........................STOP IT YOU'RE SCARING ME!!!!!!!! :scared:
My wife will be chuffed to bits when she hears of the exciting lifestyle ahead of her (NOT!)
Thing is, do people think badly of you if you don't accept these invitiations? generally I presume we all want to fit in when we go to OZ so.......does that mean that we HAVE to go?

Wow! Nothing's changed then. Queensland and WA are still 40 years behind the rest of the world...
I remember my mum buying clothes on layby when I was a kid in NZ in the 1970s. No ordinary people had credit cards then. We used to go and pay a bit each week from the family pay packet (and it really was a pay packet - cash in a brown envelope...not like Neil Hamilton's though) until we had paid it off and could collect it. Many conversations amongst mum's friends along the lines of "I've got a lovely blue dress on layby for Susan's wedding".
Have me shot to put me out of my misery if I feel the need for Tupperware parties...:scared:

There was a moment of silence as they all looked at me in surprise
" How do you live without your Tupperware?!!" one woman said!!!!
"NO!!! How awful!" said another
I tried to act calm and pretend I was in some kind of nightmare and that I would soon be waking up!!! I listened in a kind of haze as a plastic item that was "ideal for keeping your homemade butter in" was passed around!

Help me!!!!!:scared:

Hi Janeray
When I was in Perth in 96 I went to my sisterinlaws sisters house for a tupperware party.
We had the games that they play first.
One question was "as dry as a ?"
and we had to fill in the missing word.
I quickly replied "a nun"
If looks could kill and would have been dead .
Is it me and my mind because I really thought that was the obvious answer.Teehee

Hmm instead of making fun of people using layby, maybe you should just be thankful that you have enough money that you are not forced to do the same. Not everyone qualifies for a credit card, you have to realise that there are a lot of pensioners and others out there doing it hard. Sure $20 might not be much to you and me, after all we probably pay more than that for internet access every month, but for some it is a lot of money.

Ann Summers in Oz...
Hi Tina,
no there isn't any Ann Summers party plan out in Oz yet, so unfortunately when I leave I will have to hang up my whip and blindfold ( Purely demonstration items, you understand!) until they follow me to the land down under. As an A.S employee I have enquired about the possibility of running a franchise, but it's a no go. Maybe I'll set one up myself - theres obviously room for a little'un like me!
Best wishes, Leigh.
