Gorgeous linen Maddy. I have complete faith in you that you won't buy any more kitchen appliances this year. You will be able to channel your shopping talents into the garden and paint supplies etc  :D
How is your luggage Maddy? That opened a whole new world of shopping for me.  :D

Beautiful stemware CP   8)

Thinking about getting the breville smart scoop ice cream maker, so took the dog for a walk to the breville outlet near us, just to "have a look". They were just closing, but apparently they don't have any in stock anyway. Never mind, the kitchen shop next door was open so picked up a set of Russell Hobbs electric S & P mills in metallic red for $20.
Might have to pop into the good guys after NY to check out the ICM - does anyone know if they price match, I've seen it cheaper online?

Emme,  the kefir kit seems a success.  Have to keep it away from the SD as it may contaminate the SD.  The culture is placed in a floating container so just lift it out and wash in cold water,  before reusing. Can use the same culture for 2 months .

Wow Maddy!! What a lovely bedroom you are going to have!

Some really good purchases in here.

Chookie where did you buy the kefir kit? I'd like one.

Deb they do price match. A guy from work managed to get the Breville smart scoop just before Christmas for $335. I think he went to The Good Guys and DJ's

I got a good price on my toaster from the Good Guys yesterday. Mind you, I got sick of expensive toasters only lasting for 12 or 24 months, so I bought the Kambrook essential 4 slice toaster recommended by Choice magazine for $29. It has the same functions as my much more expensive Breville toaster that now only toasts one side of the bread.

It will probably last longer than the more expensive ones ES, keep a note of the date you bought it so we can see how it does go.
