February Giveaway, Simplicity Sewing Book Winner

Not the first time either. Or the last.

The winner of the February Simplicity Book Giveaway is Jenny of Rennous oh Glennous. Please send me your address details so I can send you your win!

Speaking of Aussie awesomeness, the 26th of January was Australia day, and this happened.

Best related comment: They better be Vegemite flavored and studded with the Southern Cross.

Actually I was hoping barbecue but that is not the case (apple and banana apparently). I was also hoping to buy a bunch to send to friends abroad but they’re all sold out in supermarkets so I Googled them and found this:

And just like that, my enthusiasm waned.

Sorry about your enthusiasm waning. It’s not a big deal, and it happens to all the girls.

I particularly like the line that “there was no sign of the spider”. Clearly a terrorist then.

Thank you thank you! In bed with flu. Sooo needed that! P.s. I think I would be too scared to live in Australia. I just pick up spiders and pop them outside here.

Oh and I think it’s a good idea to put that about questions. It’s polite and means twitter less people like me can still comment! X

Look, I totally get the spider explosion. I was terrified of those garden spiders when I spent that year in Newcastle.They were so big I could actually see individual eyes. Yeesh. I’d be spraying the hell out of my washing machine, too.

Hahaha!!! That’s hilarious – love it!! I gotta show that to my Aussie partner; we live in Canada so he probably missed out on seeing those

Also – love the spider story; that’s the reason we live here & not there; I’d be blowing up washing machines on a regular basis XD

Wonderfully hilarious! If only French could have such a sense if humour about their national day 14th of July would have a very different flavour !! No pun intended

  Creme brulee and Gitanes I’m guessing.

      Awesome pastry and smokers everywhere are the two things I remember about France XD And awesome food as well, but I reckon the French are too classy to use food flavouring in their prophylactics.

        I’ve never heard of creme brulee flavoured condoms, just of strawberry and banana, very very classic I’m afraid
