THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[goldfish]

The only problem I have with POK is the stuff they use in the boxes to stop anything breaking I ended up with two garbage bags full of the stuff silly little sqashy things )

Hi Suzanne... Those squashy little things dissolve away in water... I've tried it and they do!!    I've also heard they're edible.. But can't quite bring myself to try that one!!!

$24.00 in bigW always good to have nice jars and dissolvable labels.
Pleased with them

Bedlam I have a set of these. I love them. When you put hot things into them and put the lid on, the part of the lid with the rubber on makes it an air tight seal. Really good.

As it is ice cream season I just had to join everyone and buy one of these.

Dissolvable labels, I've never heard of them before.  What a great idea Denise.

They are really easy to get off Judy. You can find them in Big W and possibly Woolworths too. They aren't quite as pretty as some others but easier to get off.

I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned this but Matchbox have the ice cream tubs for $20.

You can see I don't shop or browse in W/W's then    Thanks cookie.

I will be getting me some of those.  I have gotten to the point of not labelling jars because I hate the labels off.

[rostess]

I thought I remembered someone mentioning it Cookie.

[judydawn]

Pity about the bracelet maddy

Just catching up on this thread and a few pages back you mentioned you were making your own candles... Not sure if your on facebook but there is a newish page called the road to loving my thermomix... Fabulous recipes and she has a tutorial for soy candles using thermie.... Her page has become incredibly popular since she started it recently...

Frozzie - that's a fascinating page . . thanks!!

That was me frozzie....I think it's too risky to do it in the thermomix, as the wax can set alight...that's why it's recommended to use the double boiler method in water.   Not only that, the fragrant oils are sooo concentrated...I would hate make a meal with traces of "sweet pea" through out
