THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Emme]

Thanks Judy for the tip re potato chips.  DH suggested salting them before cooking so will definitely try that next time and I won't peel them either.  Will certainly make it quicker. 

Johnro that is unreal

Thats what happens up here when we get cyclones

[Frozzie]

Dad did say most years it's like this.. Not as bad every year but not far...it's not letting up and power out everywhere ... 14 percent on my phone!

[judydawn]

Turn it off and keep it for an emergency Kim.  I hope you have plenty of things to amuse the children inside today.

[Frozzie]

The house is cyclone safe as much as possible just want it to let up so can get out of the house lol

How is the weather up your way Robyn?? We have had 3 days of this now

[Yvette]

Thanks for the tip Judy

OMG Robyn that is crazy

Stay safe Frozzie and everyone else in the storms

[maddy]

Those images are quite eerie Robyn 
Yes...stay safe!
Frozzie...you must feel like climbing the walls by now 

[EmeraldSue]

Those supermarket shelves are unbelievable.  Hope the weather abates soon, and everyone stays safe.
I went shopping yesterday and finally found some lime green thongs and some beautiful ribbons half price. My friend also found me a black top that she tried on that unfortunately didn't fit her, but did fit me & as a bonus, it was reduced to $10:)

Speaking of thongs, and our havaianas discussion.....look what I had seen onEtsy.com



Wedding thongs! LOL...all blinged out with crystals for your wedding day at the beach  
A thong is not  just a thong these days.

Was at a friends BBQ last night, and she gave me some hand cream to try....the fragrance was just heavenly! (Persian fairy floss)
So I ordered some online, along with a candle in the same fragrance

fantasic Maddy

Weather is hot and humid here today.

[Kimmyh]

Love the things Maddy.

Cant believe those shelves robyn. People really are crazy.

I know that we have experienced panic buying previously, generally though it is over a period of a couple of days as Rockhampton floods are usually a long time coming from the catchment areas of the Fitzroy.
For those who may be wondering how a street in the foothills of the ranges can end up in the state of Shields Ave - this is the  tube video of it happening and the next clip gives you an idea of why roads were cut, the water is going under Stocklands - all shopping centres were closed.  Anyrate drama ended - only intermittent rain now. So Kim there is an end in sight for the Sunny Coast .  Poor communities in Wide Bay/ Burnett areas - the tornadoes were really intense!!

[obbie]

My daughter thinks it would be fun to slip and slide in.

But seriously, hope everyone is ok,   

[cookie1]

Just .listening to the forecast for the Burnett and Wide Bay areas it sounds very bleak. My thoughts are with anyone suffering wind and too much rain. I love QLD from its tip, down the coast and inland. Can't speak about Winton and Longreach as I haven't been there yet.

I bought a nordicware bundt pan from Victorias basement today - so much cheaper, only $35! 



will be going back for the rose one next pay day I think!
