I love my microplane.  I have one of those long, thin ones.

[judydawn]

I have the same one as Cookie and apart from citrus rind, it's also great for ginger and parmesan to finish off pasta meals.

I have a microplane too

[Amanda]

I lurve my Microplanes - and they're a whole lot easier to wash up than the TM.  Just have to be sooo carefull.  I received to new ones from the US as a gift last week and used them for the first time on Friday - the wound is still bleeding. 

I accidentally bought 2 new dinner sets from Peter's yesterday morning. They are the Royal Doulton Gordon Ramsay ones in a lovely pale duck egg blue. They will replace the willow pattern that we've eaten off for 22 years now.  I'm hoping that the bloke won't notice the change! 

[obbie]

guys don't normally notice for 10years

[judydawn]

It's only a subtle change Amanda    Tell him the pattern must have washed off in the dishwasher 

[maddy]

Amanda....tell him it was either this dinner set or paper plates!


Well, I have some show & tell, but keep in mind it's over several days, and not just today...I wouldn't want you to think I have a shopping addiction or anything like that  




day on the green concert tickets for Feb., which will be at the winery just 4 minutes down the road from my place  

Some cath kidston goodies, padded oilcloth ipad case, gadget bag & lanyard







The 4 ingredient girl thermo cookbook...worth a look see

Oodles of candy necklaces....just so I could get blue ones for some cool cake pops I'm making at Christmas...also snowflake sprinkles, cordial cup chocolate moulds, and mini jelly beans......these pops better look fantastic, or I'll throw a major tantie over the cost of them!



The most gorgeous, soft, baby pink blanket, and the fur is like tiny rosebuds.....it's my curl up on the couch blanket.



And at the same store, I picked up this gorgeous lace hemmed tablecloth.   I've been eyeing it off for at least 18 months, but was too expensive....so I persuaded her to knock it down in price  



And for the Christmas stocking for DD....a hoodie featuring what she's crazy about



llamas & Bananas    why...I have no idea....she's a little quirky  

And  tshirt  she will love!

Wow Maddy - some great shopping there. 

[obbie]

Maddy, there is only 1 Maddy on here....

 Great shopping.

Is the Thermo Chef book any good, worth buying or not..

[maddy]

Is the Thermo Chef book any good, worth buying or not..

P.S....my shopping bag looks hideously large when all condensed 

[obbie]

Go for it Maddy, it is the silly season.

[astarra]

My miss 21mths has a jacket in that pink rosettey fur... it is sooooooooo soft, I can see how nice it would be as a blanket...

[Kimmyh]

Great shopping Maddy. Interested to see what you think of the BH&G cookbook. Am thinking if buying it.

After being irritated three times today because I didn't have Helene's scrubbies or brushes I finally bit the bullet and ordered them. Have two scrubbies, two brushes and two spatulas headed my way.

I think I need a break from Internet shopping for a while now.
