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:

Scarred for life!

I bought a rhino face mask from Spotlight and grey shorts and t-shirt for little one to wear at scout camp this weekend, it's a safari theme!

OH has gone to Melbourne for the work's christmas party. DD has swim club party after schol today. I actually have a mahjong party this morning- and it isn't december yet. I don't feel like going though- a bit dizzy and crampy legs. I think it might be too much of an effort to scrape myself together and then actually have a conversation with real people. I'll see what a dose of neurofen does for the headache before I decide. Got eczema all round my eyes, so not exactly an attractive look.

True but for something like a hdmi cable, I prefer not to wait. It's like having a packet of cigarettes and buying matches online.
