Not so long ago my mum bought a Miele food processor. I was astounded and told her she should have bought a TM (even tho the food processor cost I dunno $600). A couple of days ago she drops in and says she just bought a KitchenAid! I shook my head and said she should have bought a TM! Every time I have told her that she needs a TM she says no no no she only cooks now for her and dad and it would be a waste...and she doesn't want to learn all this new technology... I think she is just so stubborn and all I could do was just shake my head  parents!

I remember push up icecreams. They were fun.
My shopping today was lots of alcohol at Dan Murphy's. Some for gifts and some for home. I bought some amaretto to use in my marzipan. It smells so nice.

Last night we went on a canal xmas lights cruise of the most amazing house all lit up for xmas,  so.........ds & I have decided that next year we will do some kind of xmas lights at the front of our house.

Johnro, maddy, do you know where to buy these lights at the best prices on line. Its outdoor lights I want and in particular an outside tree full of lights, we saw an amazing variety here but have never seen them in the shops. We have a balcony at the front and we all agreed that a tree would be lovely.

Thanks
Hally
