Today I bought a nifty little what-have-you in Coles, it's basically a mesh bag with lots of pockets that you hang in the shower and it gives you room for like 10 extra products!! WOOHOO!!!!!

oh wow , what a great idea ,

Berry candles from the discount shop :clapping:

Couches! :chuckle: its the only thing we have bought for our new place so far...

a new bed and a new plasma and entertainment unit is on the current shopping list!:penguin:

don't do plasma [possible screen burnout] do lcd , much better , though Medusa could fill u in better ;):whistle:

oh yes well we haven't really done our research yet... this is gonna be the boy's toy... *sigh* :rolleyes:

I read an article recently which said that a lot fo research has been done on plasma and Lcd televisions of late and that they are now very much on an even par. Will see if I can dig the article up. We have three LCD's at our place but am considering updating one of them again soon.

colour is better on a plasma but if u watch a lot of tele , say movies with the widescreen 'stripes' they can imprint eventually

Yeah there are lots of issues. My boy sells Home theatre gear & knows just about everything there is to know including install. So if anyone wants any info just PM me.

It's LCD for us all the way baby.

Home stuff I bought recently: a porcelain tea set with jug and four cups (cherry blossom design). It's super-girly, so of course I make the boys use it as much as possible.

hoped u [medusa] wouldn't mind me "dumping " u in it in an earlier post :waving::hugs:

No of course not. In fact we actually sell some stuff direct. You can swing me some sales! :waving:

Holy cow, I need one of those :clapping:

I have one of those white shower thingies with the pockets in them. My Mum (bless her) bought it from one of those homecare catalogues!! Just watch them as mine started to go mouldy so my mum bleached it for me!

hmm can't you just wash it in the washing machine every few weeks in napisan or bleach and then totally dry it in the sun before using again? or if it's super cheap, don't bother and just buy a new one when it gets cruddy! :chuckle:

aaahh nattie , this is how i am with my shower curtain :whistle:

I love buying new shower curtains!! Love buying the matching bathmats and other what-have-yous too. Remember that SATC episode where Carrie is shopping for shower curtains with Berger? I love the shower curtains in that scene! I really desperately want a world map one!

We got given a stack of free plants by someone who was ripping out their garden. So scored a stack of gardenias :hearts:, bulbs & native grasses. Saved us maybe $400. Need to do some heavy duty gardening this week to get them all in.

oh wow Medusa , lucky u , oh how i love gardenias :)

Lucky Miss M!! I love gardens (but hate and detest gardening - ahhh the conundrum. WHY WASN'T I BORN A PRINCESS?!)

My Mum and Dad have the most glorious gardens at our house. An acre and a half of landscaped picture perfect gardens. They spend a lot of time in their garden and find it really enjoyable. My brother is a horticulturalist and I am the exact opposite! Dirt and digging? What's that?:chuckle:

Today I bought a lovely wooden chopping board and some Victorinox steak knives! Next week I'll be buying a scanpan and a global knife. I am going on a house binge!

M, I have gardenias near all my external doors so as to savour the scent which I love. When in season I always have small bunch on my bedroom sidetable.
You have really done well with this haul ........... well done :clapping:

Gardening is my therapy! :glee:

I bought a beautiful wedgewood tea set today. I was just thinking about it last week and one of the stores had a sale on today so I got it a lot chaeper. Mind you it still cost a little more than your average tea set.

I got some Home Aroma Melts from MMS - well, I ordered them.

I also got a quote to put a TV antenna in - with 4 outlets. A grand toatl of $420 for that, not bad given our location. Happening Thursday, weather permitting.

hey jaime good to 'see' u :waving::hugs:

how have u been ?

well I hit Dusk the other week. They had some deal where if you spend $200 you get $50 off?? I think that was how it worked... anywho I no complain.

I got a rustic wall sconce and 2 gorgeous rustic looking table lanterns, and of course lots of candles to go with it! my house smells purdy.. :)

Just got the boy a Breville juicer for dad's day. he has wanted one for ages & the kids are super excited.
I was interested to read that instead of just throwing the pulp in the compost you can use it for cooking & they provide a recipe booklet to show you how. Very thoughtful. I hate waste.

I desperately want and NEED a dining table when I am back home next week - what do people think of this???

http://www.daregallery.com.au/product.php?action=view&itemid=169

I don't want to be without chairs so a package helps!!!

Noice but I am terrified of glass tabletops. I have small children.

hehe you think thats bad - I have a gay room mate! i'm now rethinking it...

Ahahahaha! :chuckle: :rollthoseeyes: :chuckle:

ooOOOooo Looks great!! Such a great look and size is awesome!! I cant say Im a fan myself of the glass table. We have one atm but I ate that clang sound that happens when you put a glass down on it a bit to hard..or cutlery :saber: I try and get the boy to use placemats but he just cant seem to understand why untill the clang happens then I yell at him :chuckle::whipcrack:

Id love to get a big solid walnut timber 12 seater!!

Ohhh - that clang doesn't work for me! Especially living with Mr Gaaaay 2007. I love the look of glass but maybe not so practical. I have enquired about one at freedom also, a wood top instead.

I would LOVE a big square solid wood table - but then that wold be all i would have and don't fancy sitting at it with my pink bean bag and folding chairs from the balcony hehe.

Do you have a Freedom clearance centre?
We got our square 8 seater table in dark wood there for only $300. The money is in the chairs.

I know - whats with the chairs costing so much!!! *shakes fist*

I have no idea M - is there one in Melbiourne??????? If so I must check that out!!!!! Sounds awesome and could pick up other stuff i need whilst I'm there if it's marked down that much.

Do you have a Freedom clearance centre?

There is a Freedom clearance centre at Essendon Airport nest to DFO.

Skip the glass, I have a glass dining table (was hubby's Nan's) and it's a NIGHTMARE!! The glass is really thick, but it's a nightmare to clean, especially after a hard night with 12 year olds & sugar or 18 year olds & alcohol.

Today, we (we? wtf? I) bought a 106cm plasma TV. Our old one (old? wtf?) died when hubby tried to link the media centre (don't ask) to it, and it went 'Hell No!' and refused to work any more. So a new tele was in order, and I was standing there looking at these $800 sets that hubby decided were a good deal, going 'Why bother? We will end up trading up inside of 12 months, and wasting our $$, so let's go for it now.' Hubby ummed and aahhed (wtf? reluctance to spend on electronics, and someone else's money to boot), so we got this one for $1900.

Hubby is now on a severe money diet (he OWES me) and so is everyone else in the house. And there will be no bitching about how I spend my money from here on out. I have spoken!

Awesome charismatic - I will be going there with bells on! wooo! thanks for the tip. I will be sure to post piccies once i get more furniture (other than the TV, my lovely white fluffy rug and beautiful sofa).

Rosie - noted!!! I think after that advice i will stick to my first instinct which was at least a wooden top. I think i just saw the package deal and got a bit overzealous hehe.

Today I bought a really nice vase for my new dinging table and chairs that was delivered today!!! YAY!

And I got a lamp for by the TV, a silver teardrop shaped base and round black shade.

oOOOooo sound luuurvley!!! was it the glass dining table that you posted about earlier???

Nah - after thinking about what guys said about glass I ended up going with a solid wooden top - it's really sturdy and I LOVE IT!! It has stainless steel U legs. And the chairs I got (got 4 of them) were reduced from 189 to 99 !! Natural colour in a suede like materia - I will get a picture on my flatmate's camera when he getsback and post it.

I went to the Camberwell market on Sunday morning and bought beautiful fresh irises. Flowers are the biggest pick-me-up and apartment-transformer in my opinion.

I got a bunch of blue and a bunch of yellow/white irises, split them and put a bunch of mixed colours in my living room and bedroom. Make it look so pretty and fresh!

A few weeks ago I got the most divine tulips. I just buy whatever is on offer, 2 bunches for $10! They are straight from the flower farms and sold at wholesale prices. Perfect!

what a great idea. unfortunately no fresh flowers available around here so I'm always on the hunt for fake ones to make the house look pretty. Tulips are classic..

It's just not the same though without the gorgeous scents!

Oh, sounds gorgeous!! I have to be careful with fresh flowers as they can spark up allergies and asthma for me, but tulips would be ok! A chick at work told me about the Camberwell markets, what else have they got there???

Camberwell has everything. Used mostly, but my friends often find great stuff. I never seem to buy anything. It's too hard to get in and have a good look at the stalls cos it is always so busy! That - and I never have any cash. So I buy flowers and wander around with a coffee. Bliss. It's a 3 minute walk from my flat so too easy!

Used food???????????????????????????????

:chuckle:

Used food???????????????????????????????

HAHAHAHA sorry, no, I meant clothes and stuff. I actually went to buy fresh veges on SUnday, around midday, and the foody shed was closed? Not sure if they shut at midday or if they don't do fresh fruit/veg/deli etc on Sundays. The food shed is open during the week

Woot! My first order of MMS melts came today. Hubby is getting stroppy cause he knows the box came, and he hasn't seen what's in it, so he can't growl. He likes to growl! :chuckle:

I bought a huge LCD TV yesterday. Not keeping it for me, bought it for my brother and his partner as they are building a new house.

wow PCC that's really generous! is it a housewarming gift?

wow PCC that's really generous! is it a housewarming gift?

Kind of! My brother and I are extremely close. They have just built their own house (which is absolutely gorgeous) and I have been collecting things for them over the last few months.

I have bought them a complete set of pots, microwave, Vaccume Cleaner, sets of glasses and heaps of other bits and pieces. A lot of people would think that is extremely generous but that's just how my family are. We all help each other out and I know when I build my own house he will do the same for me.

that's really good to know. I'm sure they really appreciate it too.

I really want this lovley candle! MUST BUY!!!
http://www.endure.net.au/pictures/1766/6/542596-1.jpg

Recently bought lots of candles!

Dont need any appliances or electrical goods for a while which is great

My parents bought me a 50 Inch Panasonic Plasma TV and it's getting installed right now. It weighs like 58 kg and has to be mounted on a huge bracket on my wall but I think tonight I will be loving myself sick watching it!!

I'd love to buy my own place!!!

I'd love to buy my own place!!!

Well I am still at home with Mum and Dad but they actually bought it for my partner and I when we build our new house but I thought I may as well give it a test run for the next few months before we build!!:chuckle:

A whole freaking new kitchen, we also re-gibbed all the walls and ceiling in the kitchen too, so technically ALL my kitchen is new :chuckle:. Almost all complete im so excited it looks awesome and so glad we bit the bullet and went for a bright red on 2 feature walls. :clapping:

Wow PS, sounds fab. I have a friend who has a kitchen with a red feature wall and all red accessories including a red fridge. It looks awesome!!

red is such an exhilarating colour to have in your home, i LOVE it. We have all stainless appliances. I think red appliances as well might be a bit much in a smallish house.

Bet you cant wait to start builing, choosing colours when decorating has to be one of the most fun bits of building or renovating, good luck Miss Sanctury Lakes :clapping:

It will be exciting but daunting as well. I really want one hot pink room in the house but partner says it's over his dead body:chuckle:

Can't you have a beauty alcove or something, and paint that bright pink? He wouldn't have to see it!:whipcrack:

No PCC :no:
Your room will be a constant rave party. It would be waaaaaaaaaay to bright at night. Do you want junkies and ravers hanging out with you at 3am??

I loooove pink too PCC but we went for a fairly neutral looking home cause knowing me i would get sick of anything too out there!

New additions for the home have been:

- lots of candles! cant get enough of these
- vera wang teapot (was a late wedding gift which matches our vera wang dinner set) :clapping:
- bunch of fake peony roses for the dinner table - they look great in my villeroy & boch summer garden jug
- dyson vacuum cleaner

thats all for now...next will be some christmas decorations!!

My Mum bought me a European pillow, but she only bought me 1 and she didn't buy me any pillow cases. D'oh!

Today I bought an airconditioner for my bedroom. The windows don't open and I don't fancy roasting alive this summer :explode:

Today I bought an airconditioner for my bedroom. The windows don't open and I don't fancy roasting alive this summer :explode:

I bought an airconditioner on the weekend too Kate! Wooooo! No more bad sweaty morning hair!!

I don't like air con, there's something that feels gross to me about un-natural air. Sounds weird but when I'm in the car I prefer windows down to the air con.

I love air-con!! Love sleeping in it and love being in it! I suppose it's because where I live is SO hot and humid, and also cos I'm an oily grease monkey.....so if I'm not in aircon then I wake up in a sludge of oil and sweat. It feels so gross especially when you tan or moisturise before bed. So lovely to wake up all cool and fresh after a night in airconditioning!

I'm like Trash, air con just isn't something I can deal with very well. I guess because I livd for so long where we didn't have it. I'm more comfortable melting than dealing with air con.:redcheeks:

I like air-con! I don't like it when I'm sleeping though cause I wake up with dry mouth and eyes! I also don't like that the building i work in uses air-con excessivley. On hot summer days, I'll be dressed for hotness and i get to work and it's bloody freezing, so much so that i keep a jacket at work!! :shakehead:

I wish i had air con in my bedroom but i do have a ceiling fan and 2 windows which will have to do for now. My neice who is 2 and nephew who is 3 were given mini reverse cycle air cons for there bedrooms last chistmas from my dad who is there grandad. They are lucky that he is an electrician. I want one too.

I love going to bed in a cooler room because then i can warmer Pj's and more blankets becasue i love to snuggle in under the covers. I slo can't sleep unless i have a blanket on me so air con comes in handy in this circumstance.

i could do with air con upstairs at my place, sometimes the fans aren't enough! i have my skylight window opened all summer if possible.

Do you realise how crazy that sounds? You want air con so in summer you can still snuggle under blankets!!!! PP have you heard about global warming?

I like air con only when its really hot. I avoid putting it on if we can make do on just fans.

My nan wants to buy us a housewarming present, so I have put an order in for a japanese style floor lamp :spin:

Well we just got a 46" LCD TV :shockedhair:....and the new PS3 (for the blue-ray to go with the TV) :shockedhair:

Oh and I picked out a bamboo-style floor lamp (housewarming gift from my nan :D)

Oooh nice one Jaime!

Oh and I picked out a bamboo-style floor lamp (housewarming gift from my nan :D)

oooohhh I'm so jealous. We have a crappy little tv that was made in the 1950s (well maybe a little later as it is colour and it does have a remote). It has no sound on channel 10 and the colour on chanel 7 is way too bright. I keep threatening to buy a new tv but there is always someones braces or something that gets in the way.

BTW, kids have a flat screen jobby in the rumpus room :chuckle:

awww dodts! You know the standard TVs aren't really that expensive anymore!

Well I've almost finalised a rather major purchase... a unit! :penguin:

Yes finally, this 27 year old is moving out of home and into her very own bachelorette pad in January! (Look out!) So as you can imagine, I've been a bit snowed under organising that - I had no idea how addictive realestate.com could be (almost as bad as Adore!). :chuckle: So I've been spending the past few weeks looking at property both online and in the real world and about 2 weeks ago found a place that I thought I could call 'home'. I made an offer the weekend before last, and the past week was spent in negotiations with the seller.. and then Saturday morning I found out my offer was accepted.:penguin:

So, this week I have been organising building and pest inspections and finalising finance and if all that comes back good, my contract should go unconditional this Friday and then I'll be moving in around Australia day. It's not a flash unit (believe me, I'd love something flashy and new) but I had to be realistic about what I could afford and this is in my price range and it's in a great location so it's going to end up being a great little investment once my knight in shining armour comes to whisk me away to a flash and new place! :whipcrack:

So that's my purchase of the year... century even! Talk about major! :reindeer::xmastree:

:dance: Well done Nattie! :penguin:

Wow nattie, congratulations! Great news! You must be so excited.

Congrats Nattie, that's very exciting!

Yes TE my settleemtn is around the 22nd January - longer settlement due to interstate sellers and there being tenants in place at the moment that need notice. Congrats on your purchase! I don't think I could've handled an auction - this was bad enough!! :rollthoseeyes:

It was all unconditional this week so I can now breath a bit and relax now that everything is sorted and it's just a matter of waiting for settllement. Have been on the hunt for furniture - have fallen in love with a couch already and the agent has managed to get me back into the unit to measure up this weekend so I can order furniture in the sales! :penguin::reindeer:

Congratulations nattie, somehow I missed your wonderful and totally exciting news. :hugs:

You must be feeling over the moon! :penguin:

Nattie you will have a ball buying stuff and decorating your new home :spin:

:glee:congrats nattie on your unit!:glee:

Nat that's awesome!!! I'm so excited for you! I hope I am doing the same as you within the next 18 months!!

Weee! Can't wait to see the pics.

Congrats nattie!! Trust me, its so much fun turning a house into a home!

Oh that would be so much fun!!! Wish I had a stupid house! :shakehead::tears:

And PLEASE do not leave organising the electricty and gas until the last monute - nothing drives us more mental!

Why do people do that? I have always wondered about that - to me, power and hot water are the first things you organise connection of. The phone can wait, but I need power and hot water to move in!

And PLEASE do not leave organising the electricty and gas until the last monute - nothing drives us more mental!

Hey yeah, I wouldn't have thought of that. Good one! I would be thinking were all of my crap would go.

Started on the home stuff! There is so much I need.

So far I got -

4 large bath towels, 2 handtowels and a bathmat from Myer (in a lovely sea gree colour and some white - Dri Glo and Sheridan)
A beautiful Sony stereo
Wooden chopping board
4 black woven placemats
Large white Maxwell and Williams square platter
Maxwell and Williams four square platter
8 Luigi Bormioli fatty wine glassess.

Tomorrow or Sunday I will be getting -

Some plates and bowls for myself (using flatmates dining set, the one thing he actually owned)
Lamps for my room

Oh! I also bought this http://www.daregallery.com.au/product.php?action=view&itemid=140

In the 4x4 in Dark - delivered next Saturday.

Fabulous shopping loola! :glee:
You have good taste! :whipcrack:

Niiiiiiiiiice!!

We just bought a shelf like that from Officeworks for the study - it has 16 cubes in it, its sooo cool!

Congrats on all the purchases loola!! The MW stuff is always great and so reasonably priced. I have heaps of pieces and they are very hardy :chuckle:

Aren't the cube shelves cool! I feel like a grown up atm hehehe. C - thanks, that means the world coming from you!

So Round 2 this morning -

2 Scanpan saucepans - they're so pretty.
1 med/larage stainless steel skillet thingy (Scanpan)
A small cast iron skillet thingy (Scanpan again)

2 lamps from Freedom (Rectangle snow white shades, silver bases which are also rectangle, for either side of my bed)
4 glass jars with stainless steel lids from Freedom (I have a few of these in different sizes in my pantry, I love them)
Some plain white round candles
A stainless steel utensil holder for the kitchen bench to showcasemy pretty tools

Also got some stuff for my good friend who recently had a baby (This adorable turtle rattle I fell in love with, "Green Eggs and Ham", a Bonds Hoodie for Winter, some Bonds singlets and shorts for now, and the most hilarious stuffed monkey I love so much I want for myself)

Instead of buying a dinnerset, I think I am going to get the stuff individually whilst there is like 40% off M&W at Myer, that way I can make my own set up and love it all, as I tend to hate half those sets and don't want all those mugs and stuffs. Still not sure whether to go classic round or square stuff. This is my next task.

Plus had to come home to drop stuff off, and check what utensils I don't have, what serving wear I have got and what I need to get more white stuff, and also need some bakng trays and stuff (anyone recommend a good brand??)

Oh wow! you did so well!! :)

scanpan is great, I want to get some of their black/cream silicon cake pans..

The dinnerset idea sounds good. Mix and match.... that's actually a really good idea. I'd do it too if I had spare $ atm!

I am so excited about having my first Scanpan! I love kitchen stuff!

I have needed so much stuff for ages but put off buying it for the sales, so I'm stocking up now! If I mix and match and buy it loose I'm not stuck with stuff I won't use and don't like and have everything I need in a style I like.

Plus it's easier to replace a broken dish :) were there lots of loose options?

Yeah there are a fair few!! I'm just tossing up with going either round or square... all plain white, I love all white stuff.

Hmmmm that's a tough one.. I bought my mum a whole pile of white square stuff for her bday last year (peters of kensingon had a huge sale, like they always do) and she brought them all out at Xmas and they look super stylish.. salad bowls and snack bowls and platters and stuff..... but then a mix of other stuff would look really fun and funky...

I love that website! Such great sales. HomeCouture is great as well.

Hmmm - maybe square dinner and side plate, and that had some lovely round bowls (like a ball halved) and get them - I like to be a bit eclectic! Would that work?

I'm sure it would, you have wonderful taste

Aw thanks! I tell myself that every day :chuckle: j/k

I think that's what I will do! Is it wrong that I am so love with my new chopping board? :chuckle:

Nothing at all wrong with that!! but if you are still talking about it in a weeks time I might worry!

I used my huge scanpan wok for the first time today - made an awesome fried rice. The wok was awesome!! You'll be really happy with the scanpan loola

Ahhh crap, a wok! I don't own a wok! Maybe I could go laybe the Scanpan one :chuckle:

I dunno - I love this board a lot! Maybe I will have moved onto something else by then hehehe.

That would like awesome. I think i have the bowls you're talking about - i have small ones, medium ones and huge ones. They are all so useful. I also have the round dinner set - the cashmere one x2.

I quite like the square plates but im the type of person that gets sick of things quite quickly so i decided to go classic with the round.

Ahhh crap, a wok! I don't own a wok! Maybe I could go laybe the Scanpan one :chuckle:

:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

now that i have used the wok, i know i will be using it heaps! it was sooo cool and cooking was sooo quick!

Yeah I think technically they're called rice bowls, but whatever!

I have always liked the square for years so I think I will get them, and the rounf bowls, and a few more pieces of servingware.

The wok sounds great - and I am bad with stuff sticking in the old wok I used to have, but it was an el cheapo!

The cashmere is lovely as well! If I get round I was going to get the cashmere ones.

Link me with plate porn please!!

Sounds fantastic...and has your special mix so you will love it even more!

When my kids move out of home, I am soooooooo tossing all the old stuff & doing the place (wherever I amy be ) out in my own way. We have always had a mishmash of odds & sods, so it will be nice to do that.

Although, I walk past a window display of ScanPans every few days, and work has an account there, and I am sure I could con my boss.......................

Uh oh - Round 3...

Neil Perry "Good Food" Cookbook
2 Baker's Secret Cookie Trays
Big whisk

Maxwells and Williams stuff

2 medium Square Bowls (for serving)
4 small Round Bowls (for putting sauces and dips in)
6 large Square Dining Plates
6 side Square Plates
6 medium Round Bowls
Large Serving Bowl (If a round bowl and an oval bowl had a love child - the result would be the shape of this bowl)

I think I'm right now until next stocktake sale - I just want a rectangle serving plate and I think that should do me for the time being. I would like some champagne flutes and martini glasses but they're not urgent. I can hold off for a while and another sale. Oh - and a wok and a stovetop gril.

Now I need to hit the clothes!!!

I lie - I want to get a Global cook's knife.

Hubby and I bought Bohemia lead crystal wine glasses and a whiskey decanter with matching glasses set. Gorgeous!

Ooh Saph, sexy rexy!

Ooh Saph, sexy rexy!

Hi again Loola - I seem to be following you around the forum, lol!

I love old-fashioned cut crystal. It never goes out of style (in my eyes anyway!)

We're like little puppies folloing each other!

Agreed with the crystal, I tossed up getting some now but thought to wait, cos you know, I like to think I will be married one day, which is why I only got a six piece setting - hehe.

Uh oh - Round 3...

2 Baker's Secret Cookie Trays!

I bought two of these from DJs the other day in medium - they work really well, nothing stuck to them at all and they haven't darkened.

Nice purchasing! I'm completely jealous!

Go Loola! You are the PCC of Homewares shopping! :chuckle: :worship:

Get the Global knife - they are awesome.

M, you posted what I was thinking! Go Loola :worship:

i have used baker's secret for years it is great stuff

I tried to get this green jug from Tree Of Life on boxing day. There was no sale though.
Anyway, I get there and they only have one green one left and it's the one I want and it's dinted. I brought it too the counter and told them I'm not paying full price for this, how much can I have it for. They wanted me to pay $45 for it!! The original price was $50!! $5 bucks off!!!! It was freaking dinted and all they wanted to give me was $5 off?!?!?!
I told them I would give them $25 for it and they said no. You would think being the last one left they would just take the money. So I just walked out of there. I couldn't believe it. $5 bucks! Doggy as!

that sux trash , most places will normally only take 5 or 10 % off , but u would think in this case they would knock a bit more off
was it the manager ?

We got so many crystal glasses for the wedding we didnt have to buy anything :glee:

Now im just buying all the little things that we didnt get - like the utensils and the baking stuff, which is so much fun!!

I went and got another four of the underbed rolly lidded boxes this morning. Cant believe I am going to be organised with getting winter and summer stuff separated. Also finally a home for all my handbags!:redcheeks:

I drooled at the ScanPans in the window of the store up the road today, 3 saucepans for $160 - not bad. Might have to make them fit the budget..................:whipcrack:

Yeah it was, that was the annoying thing.
I mean it was the last one, wouldn't you think oh what the hell I'll just sell it. I mean why would I pay for a broken one when I can get a brand new one for $5 more? there f%$&ing stupid :explode:

That is wrong Trash & good on you for walking away. Esp at a place like Tree of Life - they always have crazy sales. You should get all your friends to go in & do exactly what you did for the same item :chuckle: see how they like that! :whipcrack:

Ah new stuff for the home. I am moving Feb 9, and during the week went into Freedom and bought for the new flat:

Dining table and 6 chairs
Coffee table
2 seater and 2.5 seater sofa
New bed

Ah it's so pretty - Scandinavian style (except for the bed, which is chocolate leather)

Is that the name of the line? I want to see which stuff it is.

The line is Scandi, and the bed is Inca xx

What is the sofa called?

Are they going to deliver it straight to your new place? Did you get it on one of those interest free plans?

Sofas are Scandi too - got it all matching.

Yep, they'll deliver it straight to the new place and I went with the interest free plan. All together I spent just under $3600 and it works out that my repayments will be around $120 a month for 2 years - not too bad at all!

That's really good! I love furinture and house stuff so much. Sigh.

I still need a coffee table, and 2 bedside tables (it is a bit wrong how much I love my 2 new bedside lamps though) - I also want a book case or something in my room, and would like a desk and stuff - but until I move I wo't do that as I may get stuff with furniture that does fit - can't wait for my shelving to get delivered Saturday.

Yeah you need to know what space you'll have in the new place before buying lots of new things! Oh and by the way, the movie I told you we were all going to see (27 Dresses, with Luisa and Charismatic) isn't out this weekend like I thought so we'll plan to go NEXT weekend!! (On the 12th?!)

Oooh, love the furniture, just had a look.

Yeah exactly - I sincerely doubt I will get a place as big as I have now, especially if I am alone! That's why I ended up not getting outdoot stuff yet - whilst my current space is massive - I could get a place and have no outside area :shakehead: I have got 4 folding chairs, that's enough for now :chuckle:

Does that include the 2 chairs your neighbours gave you? :chuckle:

Glad you like it! It's simple and sassy I think. I love the simplicity and style of Scandinavian furniture! Just need some beautiful cushions for the sofas

HFUE! Stood up for a date and it didn't even happen yet - I'm crushed.

Well we could go this weekend too and see something else?!

Does that include the 2 chairs your neighbours gave you? :chuckle:

Glad you like it! It's simple and sassy I think. I love the simplicity and style of Scandinavian furniture! Just need some beautiful cushions for the sofas

LOL yes :shakehead: 2 from the coked out neighbours, 2 from my parents rejects.

Yeah - simple and clean lines, chic but a retro twist.

I need cushions too - cos all my furinture is neutral though, I want bright coloured cushions and painitings. I can't find any nice cushions thus far though.

I need cushions too - cos all my furinture is neutral though, I want bright coloured cushions and painitings. I can't find any nice cushions thus far though.

SAME - we'll have to keep each other posted if we find beautiful bright and cheerful cushions!

I think maybe a smaller little shop somewhere - I have tried all the bigger places and department stores but nothing.

Yeah sure - I have no plans this weekend so I'm happy to see something else - I haven't been in years remember!

I might even consider getting popcorn, though I get a bit obsessed. I used to go buy it form the movies even when i wasn't seeing one.

HAHAHA! No popcorn for me but you can knock yourself out. I eat it like a posessed woman when I have it but due to NY Resolutions which I FULLY intend to keep - no popcorn for Celestey!

Choose a movie and we'll go.

Umm what else is out? I wanted to see Atonement but I think I read you saw that?

Yep I saw it, it's great. Not sure what's out now? I think it is fairly slim pickings.... but we'll find something!

Any of these I wouldn't mind seeing -

The Darjeerling Ltd
Enchanted
The Golden Compass
2 Days in Paris

???

I would love to see any but The Golden Compass - doesn't interest me. Not sure what 2 Days in Paris is about but it sounds up my alley! So yep choose from the other 3 and I'm IN LIKE FLYNN!

PS Do you want to come to the Rivoli it is the nicest cinema in Melbourne!

Which one is that??

Oh and I lied before - I need a bench or unit for my TV in the lounge as I am still using that crappy white table we found in my apartment.

Ok found it - on Camberwell Road. They have 2 Days in Paris - I'm thinking Saturday arvo?

Oh cool - sounds good! Just let me know times xx

It only has times for today and tomorrow. Blah. WIll check back and let you know.

Ok, sweeeeeeet. Yay I am excited to see you again!

I feel that way every morning when I look in the mirror.

I think I will have a silent protest and print of picture sof furniure and play to see what I like best and what will fit with what I have.

Link me with plate porn please!!

:chuckle: A boyfriend once asked me what I was looking at online and I said "porn" and he ran over to the computer so quickly, and I showed him the Ikea kitchen-design site!! It was hiiiiiiiiilarious (for me)!

Wow, that's like insanely affordable!

Wow, that's like insanely affordable!

I know - I agree!! I want to buy more, more I tells ya!

Speaking of scanpan - http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Product/ProductInfo.aspx?code=629525

we bought a beautiful wardrobe & chest of drawers for my daughter on eBay , the finish is distressed pink & very pale green
next purchase is a loft bed for Miss 5

sounds lovely fussy!

yesterday we bought a rice cooker/vegetable steamer, and from Howards Storage World a shoe storage thing to hang and a similar one for my handbags.......I have room again!! :worship:

yesterday we bought a rice cooker/vegetable steamer

Oh I want one of these bad!

Just got the latest Target catalogue in the mail & wanted to let you know that they are having a crazy homewares sale from Thurs 24 - Wed 30 Jan. They have specials across the store in all depts too. Check it out here.
http://www.target.com.au/html/homepage/home_fw.htm

A kettle
And haven't bought but found in the back of my wardrobe a large toaster- ones with 4 slots in!

Today for our new place we bought:

A lovely black leather 4 chair/recliner combo for the room complete with cup holders and compartments to stash all sorts of snacks in for our home theater room (work in progress)

2 lovely wooden lamps. the are long, lined, hour glass shaped rectangles (if that make sense) with holes cut out to let the light out of. They look very Bali/tribal looking. for the home theater room.

A big 16 compartment bookshelf for my study (you know the ones with no backing thats just all squares) in a gorgeous walnut finish.

A dining suit for the informal dining room

A Bar for the entertaining area (I have to find a pic) it is freaking hilarious looking. Like straight out of an Irish pub or something with the lead lighting finishing and everything :chuckles:

Next we have to go shopping for a heavy black fabric to use as a curtain to divide the rumpus room into 2 for the HT room and for the glass sliding door that is in the room also. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? I'm thinking spotlight. Then we need to carpet the whole room Might hit carpet court for this one and get a piece cut to fit and just have it sitting over the tiles.

I cant wait for this house to finally take shape. We still have to furnish the guest bedroom upstairs too. arrgh!!

Wow, my beautiful TBA, that's a lotta furniture!

Wow, my beautiful TBA, that's a lotta furniture!

As soon as she does up the rooms she has as our bedrooms we can move in :chuckle:

Wow TBA! That is some seriously good home shopping. Your house is going to look amazing! For heavy fabric, yep, definitely hit Spotlight. Hopefully you can find someone to help you though, every time I go the SAs barely look in my direction!

Today I tried to walk through our new, huge Wheel and Barrow store but alas, got sidetracked and bought stuff. Only essentials of course - a cake icing set and tea diffuser. I wanted so much more! Keen to get new crockery as we have odds of everything, and some nice wine glasses too. And everything in the store.

Today I bought some letters spelling out beach to hang on our wall

Oh I want to do this! but couldn't decide on a non lame word that sounded cool. Then I thought I was funny by doing "crap" and "poo"

Oh I want to do this! but couldn't decide on a non lame word that sounded cool. Then I thought I was funny by doing "crap" and "poo"

No NO!!

No NO!!

I know I know.....I can't think of a non lame word though. Help.

Maybe something cool looking in another language?

What about Casa?

la mia sede is Italian for my home. That (my home) looks really cool in Russian, but you might struggle to get the letters мой дом

ETA: I am using babelfish to procrastinate...................

Maybe something cool looking in another language?

What about Casa?

Oooh...

La Dolce Vita!!!

:champagne::champagne:

or .... je nais ce que ... crap that's not write....Where is my textbook...

If you are a pink girl - "la vie en rose" I think it means life in pink

If you are a pink girl - "la vie en rose" I think it means life in pink

Ooooh pretty. I would love that if I had a daughter in her room.

I like the idea of having something french, as that is a big part of my background. I do like la dolce vita though.

Oh I want to do this! but couldn't decide on a non lame word that sounded cool. Then I thought I was funny by doing "crap" and "poo"

Aaaahahaha my mum has words spelling "bath" and "clean" or something like that in her bathroom, and we told her she should put "poo" and "wee" in the toilet!! :chuckle:

"la vie en rose" would be SO pretty in a little girl's room, i totally agree!!
You should think of something funny to write in french, cos it would look cute and sophisticated but would be an inside joke to anyone who understood it!

Today I bought a heap of stuff for the garden!!! Ten gardenias, and a bunch of herbs (a couple of basils, a couple of garlic chives, mint, oregano, sage, parsley, rosemary). Put them all out the back where the clothesline is, and also where the kitchen window looks out. My brother planted it all as a surprise for my mum!!

Oh that's awesome Oz! What a great idea. I'm sure your mum will love it, and it's so great having those herbs like that right in your backyard.
