THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[JulieO]

I ordered these this morning after reading such good reviews, both as a walking pant and for casual.

I also bordered a pair of these undies too, am interested to see if they are worth it.

They look great.
Wish I could wear wool next to my skin. I just itch.
Oh well!

The trousers look lovely for travelling.

Suzanne, if you ever need an Aldi special, just ask and I will meet your halfway and transfer it to you.

ha ha thanks cookie we could be aldi dealers.
I would definitely go once just to say I've been but I would have to pack a cut lunch and a water bottle and do the trip during school holidays

Obbie,  I hope you are resting , laying in hospital  you feel ok but you could soon tire yourself.  Take care, Auntie Brenda....

New glasses! Sunglasses and everyday ones. Can't wait for them to arrive.

Going to Melbourne for a really quick visit (2 days) next week. If I have a spare hour is it worth visiting an aldi store? I'm staying in Alfred Park so near to Prahran/St Kilda??

[courton]

Suggest you go online and see ALdi specials for the week you are in Melbourne. For us, it is snow gear and children's clothing next week.

I'm happy as my replacement pressure cooker arrived today. My previous one overbalanced and fell off the stovetop and the long handle attached to the pot broke. Scanpan have sent me a completely new pressure cooker. It's the new model and doesn't have the long handle. I can't wait to test it out

Just ordered a cordless hedge trimmer as DH never has time and everything is GROWING so fast and it takes too long with hand shears.

[gertbysea]

I am for anything that makes life easy. We spend far to many hours doing chores . We have to take time to just enjoy what we have  and if you can trim  that hedge in minutes  go girl.  I actually ripped my hedge out because it  took too much  time out of my life maintaining  it . I would rather read a book.

I agree with you Gert, if there's a machine out there that can do the job - buy it.

Aunty Brenda, I am out, and home. well actually back at work resting. just playing on the computer..

Bonsai, I personally would'nt make a special trip to an Aldi store. When I go to Melbourne to visit DS & family I had the opportunity to go. My son does'nt like Aldi, DIL only goes for some specials occasionally. They have a limited range and don't always carry the same range as the time before. I could never get all I want for a weeks shopping in that store, so to me it's not worth it.
