The sales assistant was really helpful and patient, especially as I had to try on quite a few bras to get a good fit. There was no pressure to buy, and she suggested that I buy only one bra and then come back in a month or so if I was happy with the bra and then buy more.

Approximate cost: $60

I stumbled across this website one day, after checking the prices locally I found that their prices were quite competitive (even with postage included) My purchases were mailed out promptly and packaged neatly in a sealed plastic bag.

A web-based fabric shop. Plenty of fabric available here on this easy to navigate web-site. Any queries I have had have either been answered via email or a quick telephone call. Purchases are mailed out promptly, I usually receive them within 24 hours if I order in the morning (not Saturday or Sunday)

Approximate cost: $22 a metre

This is a web based fabric business, they have a wide range of different fabrics. I found their website easy to navigate and purchases are mailed out promptly, usually arriving within 2 days of ordering.

A shop for people that love to quilt. They have recently expanded and the shop is now easier to move around in. The staff are all knowledgeable and happy to demonstrate how to use products. A wide range of quilting (or craft) fabric.

This is our local pharmacy, it is often quite busy there, which I think sometimes reflects on their customer service. However I have had staff members take a great deal of time finding out if there is a better alternative for me to use.

We go to this cafe at least once a week, usually for a coffee and maybe a biscuit or piece of cake. Always made to feel welcome by all the staff. Sometimes this cafe can be quite busy, but you never have to wait long for your coffee.

I enjoy visiting this op-shop. I really like how the clothes are arranged by size. The shop is not too crowded with stock, the staff are all friendly and helpful. I usually find a bargain there.

We go to the Central Market every week, I only wish we lived in the inner city, I would be there every day. There is no other place in Australia like the Central Market, all the fresh produce, the cheeses, the people, everything about it. There is something for everyone here. You can even cruise around sampling food and not have to pay for the privilege, how good is that.

Have been going there for some time now, I always enjoy my "me time", the staff are always friendly, and do a wonderful scalp massage while shampooing. It is never a problem to reschedule an appointment. A basic shampoo and cut is $25.
