Heard about Flexicars on ABC 774, joined on their website. Painless to join. I was happy to find there are two flexicars in my area. I now use the car on Glenlyon rd effectively as our second family car.

On a lazy Thursday arvo i found this caf on St Georges Rd opp. Haul in Nth Fitz.
Owner is the barista who looks like a boofhead, but has a bit of style. Coffee is good and unlike the rest of the village, the prices are reasonable. I'd be a regular if i lived Northside.

Approximate cost: $11

I bought a recycled rubber messenger bag from the Haul online webstore. www.haul.com.au. It's a big site with lots of pages and movies to show you how they make the products. They claim there are over 3000 unique products online because 'no two are ever the same' - this maybe true. I got lost trying to navigate to the pages where you make the purchase, but i called Haul and was guided through the order over the phone. The bag arrived the next day (without me paying for Express postage ). A pretty good experience.

Approximate cost: $165
