Re: Creative ideas with celery....anyone!

For kids, I've seen the end of celery cut up into thin strips to resemble a paint brush, and then dips (in various colours) to look like paint.

Re: What did your pool cost you??

We're doing the pool thing at the moment, and by our quotes an average size fibreglass pool (about 8ish x 4ish) will cost around $19,000.

Then, depending on what you want for the landscaping and...

Re: Down Under by Bill Bryson

That's my favourite bit too. I wept as i was reading it and i laughed so much it made my jaw ache.

Freesolar - QLD

In my experience, be wary of AAPT (intermittent ADSL2+ in Brisbane, about a stone's throw from the exchange, and god awful customer service helpline/email).

Er, ok. Instead of a five minute drive to the beach, i'd prefer a five minute walk, which living the right side of the Nicklin Way would get you. Ok, not *always* a five minute walk, but if you're...
