Katj I'm sorry you are feeling lousy. I hope you feel better soon.
I saw this book for $15 in KMart today and as I have been keen on buying it for some time I couldn't resist.
DH and I also took delivery of a cute, tiny AVan today. It isn't to replace our big caravan but to use for camping trips instead of the trailer camper which is freezing to sleep in.

Here is the baby van opened up. It took us about 30 seconds to open it up.
As you can see from the inside photo it is VERY tiny inside but perfect for camping.

That is so cute Cookie! Not as hard on your vehicle to tow either.

Katj hope you are better soon.

Love the Avan Cookie. Those little sweeties are the original Avans. See lots of them in our travels. Very cool.

I have been very bad and spent more that I ought at the Kathmandu sale. Couldn't help myself as many things were one third of their original price. Now have a travel wardrobe  of pants, shirts, jackets and vests 8)

Went to the Lindner sock factory in Crookwell and got lots of fabulous socks.

Thanks for all the comments re the AVan. I think we will only use the big van for longer trips now.

This arrived in my mail box this morning. There are several things in there I will make.

Over the weekend I accidentally came across a Harris Scarfe gift card hidden in my purse which DD2 gave me back on Mothers' Day  so today I spent it on an outfit for the Melbourne FF.

What a lovely surprise Judy. You will be extra glamorous. I have a wedding Saturday and would love a new, bright top but I can't find exactly what I want.

The calendar looks really good Cookie. Nice when you stumble upon gift cards and money you forgot you had.
