I love that container. I use 2 x  5litre Decore buckets for my flour.

Interesting shopping Kristy. I had never heard of that. Jamberie how are you going with the cold?
What cold? ;)
I am so disappointed,even Queensland got snow and we didn't!!

I've been looking for a flour container for ages and ages, am very pleased.

KristyS, I wish I could tell you how easy it is, but I leave all the techie things to DH and I just press 'play' so to speak :)

I can imagine how you feel Jamberie. I figure that if it can snow in Queensland it should snow here. It doesn't seem fair that you get the cold and they get the snow.

Great shopping girls.
I don't shop often but when I do I go for it. !
While in Melbourne last week bought several items of clothing. A pair of Ecco shoes %40 off. A leather jacket, ( soft grey colour), white long sleeved T, and red cardi. All from Blue illusion. All reduced except jacket.
Yesterday in Bendigo bought a nightie, dressing gown and a fluffy sort of bed jacket.  Again all reduced.

We were also cheated out of the snow.  Just got buckets of rain and wind. All tanks full and ground sodden.  Jam , you have been very cold.

Since replacing our wood heater with a gas heater the far end of the house is very cold, so this morning I went out and bought a panel heater to put in the rooms to warm them up a bit. 
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Mab, you will find them very good. We have panel heater in the bathrooms and guest bedrooms.  We still have the big wood heater which goes 24 hours in winter  but is a lot of work.

Margaret we found the same when we swapped our wood heater for gas. The wood fire seems to penetrate all parts of the house.

It never snows here either, but gets very cold.

Just curious Kristy, do you have a smart TV? If yes, there is an app you can download on your mobile/tablet which is called T-Beam, and you can stream almost anything on to the TV. Only need to make sure the tab/mobile and TV are on wi-fi and they can be paired.

Jam, that container looks wonderful, when did you buy it? I have been looking for a nice big container for flour and rice for a long time and have never found anything bigger than a 8lt at KMART which I dont like much..

No my TV is old, I got it second hand a while ago, before that I had a big box haha. Technology is not my friend.

The Chromecast is working and I am loving it though.
