For those feeling patriot (and are English!!) I've just added a site called 'We are the English' which (surprisingly enough) sells all English merchandise - looks cool

Yeah books in Oz are expensive.

I generally order through amazon.com. Get a few at a time and it's worth it.

Yep.......I was really shocked at the price of books here when we first arrived too. Good to see that there are a lot of UK companies who will post here now......like you say, it still works out a lot cheaper even with the postage if you buy a few at a time.

Hey girls.........its looking promising for NEXT! I've heard back saying that they are looking into expanding their business overseas - I've replied asking them to confirm whether or not they're planning on shipping to Australia in the near future! It took a couple of weeks to get the first reply so it'll probably be another couple of weeks before I hear back.......but as soon as I do........you'll be the 2nd to know!!

My kids look better dressed here than they did in the UK. Always struggled to get stuff to fit them before. Now they look great

It is the only thing that I struggle with to be honest. I used to buy every stitch of their clothing from Next and while I have got some nice stuff in Target and Pumpkin Patch I never really like it as much as the Next kids stuff. Whinging Poms eh

I guess me and the kids are weirdly shaped. Nothing ever fitted us and I hated that the rest of the UK female population were wearing the same stuff

i miss tesco's, how sad is that.
