Re: whats the best thing you bought in aus
Best thing I bought was my sewing machine. The one I left behind was 40 years old and had forward, backwards and zig-zag. My new one has 120 built in computerised stiches plus a plug in for cards with embroidery designs you can buy. It even threads itself! Since buying it I have made my daughter a lovely formal dress all in silk and have taught myself how to quilt. My daughter in her dress is below.

One of the tools i bought that i reckon is the bees knees is the small chain saw on the end of a pole, great piece of kit and fun to use
In the Uk i used to have one of those stupid string operated secateur things on a pole..

I would love to get a reduction but the old man said he would divorce me. Guess I have to just get them lifted.

My property (sounds grander than house)
I would say the fridge/freezer with the water and ice dispenser but the ice bit's not working so it's a pain in the arse.

Re: whats the best thing you bought in aus
Ohh whoops, my wife just reminded me, the best thing we ever bought in Aus was actually our dog Jock (see avatar) from AWL .
I got distracted by all your gadget talk, but yes, he has been the best purchase, and dirt cheap too. I can't remember the price now, probably around $50, for a vet checked, de-sexed, good natured springer spaniel, who has given us, days, weeks, months of fun.
