Witchery is lovely but no idea re prices - only gazed in the window with longing before being dragged back north to the land of no shops (except a multitude of $2 shops). Good shoe shops in Sydney. David Jones presumably does good range of clothes. Only decent one here is Pumpkin Patch and that's just for small children. And pregnant people. Neither scenario applies. Tell Sydney chum to appreciate her shops or she'll be made to spend a year in the hinterland Smile

cod, I went in to the Witchery store last Thursday (only day anything is open later than 6pm) and it does indeed seem to be best option. Will seriously consider it for my winter clothing, but it is 24 degrees at the moment so am ok in t shirts

Your friend is right. Also about the salads. But all sandwiches come with grated carrots and sliced beetroot.

since dh has been back he has embraced all phrases Ozzie, he now says "chick" for female as in "this chick rocks up" = a lady appears. Ds1 remains splendidly plummy though.

no, that's true, but not calling an item of furniture by the name of the room in which it is customarily located.
