Spotlight has a huge range of fabrics, great for when I need to stock up on the basics, like flannelette and cotton prints. Also often has some pretty good yarn specials. Great for if I need a quick fabric fix and can't wait for the postman to come!
The Pookey Pockets store is fantastic - it's one of the only places I know of where you can browse in person and buy your nappies and nappy making supplies. I feel very lucky to live so close! The prices are very competitive and there's no need to wait for the mail to arrive, to get your goodies.
Cherubs Kiss are fantastic to deal with. I've received wonderful service and beautifully made products from Lesley on a number of occasions, she's an all round great person to deal with.
Absolutely excellent medical centre. My family and I have been attending this centre for around 9 years - the doctors and reception staff are very efficient and friendly and they are one of the few medical centres left around that still bulk bill for all patients (all current patients, anyway).
Approximate cost: $bulk billed
Has great equipment for kids to play on - tends to be aimed more at 3 to 10, I think. Parents do have to pay entry, but you get that amount off a drink from the cafe, which is good. The only two issues I had were a not too great piece of cake (think it was off!) and bigger kids running amok in the toddler area. Otherwise, definitely worthwhile!
I've been ordering take away Chinese from China Rose for some years now - they make a fantastic Mongolian Lamb (most of the time!) and always include prawn crackers with your order, for no extra charge. They have a delivery service too, which is great and not too expensive. Great value Chinese!
Dominos makes a good, tasty pizza, for the price. I've always received plenty of toppings, the pizza always seems fresh and the service is generally good. On occasion I have had very slow deliveries from this pizza franchise.
I have two accounts with the bank, savings and passbook. The fees are very low and customer service is good. I pay one monthly fee for unlimited transactions (unsure if this applies to new customers though).
I have bought from Itti Bitti a number of times and have always found the quality of nappies to be great, they are good value and the customer service is fantastic. Highly recommended.
I have bought from Baby Beehinds a number of times, both in person and online. They have always been a pleasure to deal with, have a high quality, good value product and if you ever have a problem, Davina will immediately rectify the situation. Highly recommended!
