Good idea JD and Obbie.

[obbie]

Dizzy they retain the heat better too, as I use them on clients.

I had to do my bit to save this thread.

[maddy]

We can't have this thread slipping beyond page 1.....LOL

Well here you go then.....I picked up an all in one wireless printer with fax/scan etc.



DD can now just print straight from her laptop in her room...my computer software is as old as a dinosaur I'm told 

and picked up a watch for DS, final Birthday present.

[mcmich]

Bless you Maddy.

[maddy]

LOL

I have a printer like that Maddy, it makes life so much easier, I can even print from my iPad while I'm in my framing workshop, the kids can print from there computers from any room in the house. It's brilliant.

, I can even print from my iPad while I'm in my framing workshop

Oh joy! Love it even more now  .....is it hard to set up from iPad dede?  Or does it just pick up connection?.....havent opened the box yet.

[dede]

Just picked up the connection I think Maddy. I print all my invoices from my iPad. And recipes of cause

Well I had to return two items with totally different type of customer service. One was a Thomas sabo sterling silver necklace which I had bought for dd's 17th birthday. When she opened the box she discovered the chain was broken. The asst manager of the shop insisted that  these things don't break and my daughter must have been drunk and some could have pulled it off her neck! He nearly said " or drugged" when i jumped on him verbally. He was rude obnoxious and vile. I was shaking by the time I left the  chatswood shop...he has to send it HO to determine how it was broken,...brand new! Never worn! Unbelievable.  

In contrast, I took back my soehle weighing scale to victoia's Basement alexandria since  it did not work and they allowed me to buy something else from the shop since I did not have the receipt. What a contrast in customer service. Guess I am going to tell everyone to stay away from Thomas sabo products.

Rude (pig is what I want to say,) person, if he isn't the owner, report him..

Obbie,

I saw the pasta machines too and I am really tempted by the red one. But where would I put it??
My cupboards are full now, and I have a big kitchen. Decision, decisions, decisions.

I always put a cup of water in the microwave when heating up wheat bags too. I made a whole heap for our school fete last year in the shape of owls and pussycats and made sure that they had very clear instructions on how to reheat them.

Perhaps I should check out the COD website again.......
