A good sturdy box and some plastic bag...Hi Minnie,<br /><br />A good sturdy box and some plastic bags are usually enough to get the biccies to their recipient safe and sound. I don't know how the postal service is where you are, but here it's fairly quick so I just send them via regular parcel post. I put the cookies into plastic freezer bags or ziplock baggies, or tupperware containers, and any empty space I fill up with balled up paper. In the holidays I send them through express post, so there is no doubt about their arrival. <br /><br />My other trick is to bake them on a sunday and post them on a monday, so there is no chance they'll sit in the post office over the weekend.<br /><br />Happy posting :)<br />theresaTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-50107996273745431692009-07-20T08:34:47.037+10:002009-07-20T08:34:47.037+10:00Glad you got your comfy bed and nice shower:o)

Resident hotel streaker appeared most nights and spare pillow had a strange buzzing sound coming from within, if you know what I mean? lol<br /><br />Re your baked biccies (cookies). Have you any hints on sending such gifts by post? Junior and I would love to send a certain person some via post. Want to get them there in prime condition.

At least you escaped the V8 madness what a victory for sanity!<br />We wandered across to our local preschool fundraising night the weekend they were here in Darwin and I was horrified to see that the guests of honour were two of the V8 drivers who were had the priveledge of judging the little kid cardboard box V8 race!<br />How bizarre it was to watch the indoctrination of 4 year-olds into the world of V8 worship! I wonder if those gass guzzlers will even exist by the time the kids can drive???David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041580123414270092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-33309556525189511752009-07-18T16:02:00.461+10:002009-07-18T16:02:00.461+10:00The scenery looks gorgeous...looks like you got gr...The scenery looks gorgeous...looks like you got great weather (the toilet signs are hilarious!).Vaala ◪https://www.blogger.com/profile/13141497797740196704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-44998704279105403852009-07-18T08:51:30.100+10:002009-07-18T08:51:30.100+10:00@Bianca, lol at your interpretation of the mangoes...@Bianca, lol at your interpretation of the mangoes :)<br /><br />@BrisVegan, Andy and I usually book rooms with Wotif or the other last minute sites so we can feel flash without upsetting our cheapskate sensibilities.

If not, I guess I am also old and bourgeois.<br /><br />Sometimes, caravan parks have holiday cabins for around $50-$75. They are usually really clean and pretty comfortable. They also sleep several people for the price. We use that option a bit for our family of 5. Does that make me less hopelessly bourgeois?BrisVeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148873915539733805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-41369677911220021672009-07-17T06:06:43.658+10:002009-07-17T06:06:43.658+10:00What are gonna do with all those peppers?!
