Do you mean installer (local Qld) panels (ET I think) or inverter (Sunny Boy)?

Happy so far, but still waiting for new meter to start recouping money.

Bi-Lo in Mount Warren Park (South of Brisbane, near Beenleigh) has family sized packets of Minstrels that were $4 reduced to $1 for clearance.

We're on our 2nd lot of 10 packets we bought ... :o

Dunno if ALL Bi-lo's, but worth if a look if you like your European choccie! ... :)

From ebay, a Sunbeam EM6910 espresso machine and a EM0480 Grinder for $250. I have been meaning to get a machine for ages and couldn't pass this opportunity up. The espresso machine came recommended by the coffeesnobs forum, and the grinder isn't too bad. Looking forward to a long, caffine fueled weekend. :eek:

I LOATHE Tolkein.... Had a teacher in third year juniors whom I hated who loved them.... Every frickin opportunity he got he would bore us to tears reading it ...sounded like cardboard, felt like some one dragging their fingernails down the blackboard (ok, so it was green, but we still called it a blackboard in those days, being inherently racist)


I brought a $2 bag of bubblegum clouds from red dot... They have vanished.... Kids tell me they opened the bag and they just floated away....:frown:
