What Dione did last week

I was very busy last week. This is some of the highlights:

~ I sold my big red car. No more Audi (sob)
~ I discovered a new op-shop. It's in the feral, Housing Commission suburb, but so worth braving the bogans to get there. Scored a Tears for Fears CD for $1, a brand new Fred Bare girl's skirt for $2, a Guess leather backpack for $7 and a brand new popcorn machine for $3
~ Joined Freecycle. Now I can help save the world from landfill! Tim Flannery will heart me for it
~ Had some more progress on Project New Toenail. 2mm in two weeks. V.good!
~ I won this round of the family Iron Chef: Birthday Cake unoffical competition. I'll post a photograph of my masterpiece later on
~ Attempted to watch The Sideshow

Dione, you sold the Audi and you shop in op-shops! Welcome to the hallowed halls of Teh Ozzie Battlers.

I'm reduced to driving the Toyota at the moment, so I've got to find a replacement soon. I want something interesting and European. But not a Lada Niva.

I like op-shops and markets. I can spend not much money and get lots of things I don't need. It satisfies my female shopping gene. Plus I can flog some of it on eBay for a profit.
