So we've finally managed to unpack and set up enough to recognise what we don't have, and what we're going to need in this house. Number one (as it is in every house) is bookshelves, because we lost a whole room full of built-ins when we moved. That is, the other house had a room full of built-in bookshelves that we couldn't take with us. But that' ( Read more... )

I've been ebaying bread boxes :) Now that we're country folk, I recognise that critters come with the territory. But I really really really am really really not cool with sharing my foodstuffs with them :)

Melbourne Central has a shop that sells only food boxes, racks of all types and stackable draws. Every $2 up High Street has about a billion multicoloured fly swatters. Obviously all these things just got sent to the wrong city.

We have two of those big ceramic/charcoal candle filters. They are excellent.

we must have been going too upscale - we looked in KMart, Target, Big W, and Bunnings for fly swatters. Clearly we should have been hitting the dollar stores ;)

The big places don't stock them because they're too trivial - it's the shitty reject shops that do... which is weird.

Also, with the breadboxes: carpentry is cheaper.

CANADIAN TIRE. Including the Reverse Osmosis filtration system. Seriously. Want to be our first Australian associate dealer? PS, you pay your own transportation bill.

Dish racks and fly swatters can be found at Coles and Woolies, as well as Crazy Clark-type places. The one near Shrinkytown has a lot of them. And they are cheap.
