Tyde's Profile

A recipe book I have has these in them. They have a note that it was a housewife in Nanaimo that entered a competition with her "chocolate squares" recipe and called them Nanaimo Bars. Haven't tried the recipe yet but custard powder is something I have in my pantry all the time, should give it a go!

bkk - now you've got me craving a caramel slice, the high school canteen used to make great ones! :P

Our 2.5 year old sleeps well in his coverted cot, there is no room in his bedroom for a single ("twin") bed.

We move to a bigger house in December and then he'll be sleeping in a king single (that a friend gave to us for free...we just have to get a mattress for it!).

Because his cot coverted to a toddler size bed we didn't consider buying a specific toddler bed.

I bought one of these for my Mum for her birthday. She loves to travel (and planning to travel) and can probably scratch off about half the map!

My son seems to buck the trend. He eats a wider variety of foods than I do. e.g. I don't eat seafood and he loves it!

I didn't go to uni, but I could figure out the IKEA one. And it's the best one I've ever used *shrug*

RE: the boots. These are what UGG boots are made for! They are slippers to keep your feet warm in winter.

It's a constant source of amusement to me that people in other countries wear them out of the house and not just to check the letterbox! ;-P

Computra - out of 43 comments I was surprised to see that yours was the only one to recommend a toilet roll holder like that. Are these not commonplace in North America?

You can buy them everywhere in Oz...thought they were popular all over the planet :)

We have a small bathroom with a door that doesn't shut (let alone lock!) and a very flatulent father-in-law (due to treatment for prostate cancer). We all just laugh it off :)

Hubby got one of the Keep Cups for Christmas. He hasn't used it yet though...too fond of his old reuseable cup with is stainless steel (but doesn't have a lid!)

Never thought about putting cocoa powder in my son's semolina. He is quite happy to have it with just a little bit of honey, but I'll keep this idea for when winter rolls around!

The wall colouring and the lighting make it feel really warm and inviting. I love what you did to the ceiling in the bedroom :)
