Re: Where have you been today?
After 4.5 weeks of holidays I'm back to work in the city today. I can't honestly say I've missed Perth CBD (or Perth in general), though I have managed to avoid Bunnings since being back in Australia.

Re: Where have you been today?
I reckon here in Australia we must spend half our bloody lives in Bunnings. The photos I took yesterday were taken on the way home from Bunnings. I bought some door handles and locks for the door I'm getting fitted to separate off our rumpus room and one of the bathrooms from the rest of the house so we can turn it into a studio/granny flat. Decided to leave the sawdust snorting to a woodworker/cabinet maker.

LOL, we had only been back in Australia for 24 hours before my husband decided he needed to go to Bunnings (on our recent holiday). I think he went maybe 5 times in our 4 weeks there. Mind you, I’m almost as bad, I went to Ikea twice in that time!

We haven't been to Ikea once since we moved to Australia nearly 8 years ago. Got too memories of tediously navigating our way around London's North Circular to the Ikea in Wembley only to find it was a complete waste of time.

Much easier out at the airport, literally 5 minutes from home and never a waste of time for me! It takes me an hour here to one of 3 equidistant options.

Re: Where have you been today?
Have put our car up for sale, so while we've still got it we went to Morrisons to stock up on groceries for the rest of the month. Here's hoping for a quick sale, less than 4 weeks now till we leave for Oz.
