You guys know how lucky you are right??<br/>By the way, the spinkle holder thing is a bottle drying rack. You slide the bottle onto the rods and the water drains out. Its like an old fashioned bottle sterlizer.<br/>Have a lovely Christmas! oh how I wish I lived in Melbourne. You guys know how lucky you are right??

And huge rolls of wrap, as they are a wholesaler. Worth a look!

thank you so much for posting all of those images. my fingers are itching to start.

i got out the christmas tree yesterday, full of vim and vigour – ready to decorate like a demon.

i whipped out the lights and lashed them to the tree. those things are a nightmare to unravel – but i finally had it.

flick of the switch and it was illuminated for all of, oh – 2 seconds? then they died!
