I use to get the Antex which is good
But you may find to keep them at bay even if you just have a few you will have to reapply every 3months or so
It's about $5 at places like Big W Coles etc
A while ago I saw a Ant/Cockroach one I think that was the same brand but have not seen for a while
They do a variety of other products that are fairly cheap like 4l Distilled Water that's at Woolies
Good for things like Irons Steam Cleaners etc where the tap water can be too hard and it corrodes the unit or you have to much lime in your water not the cordial kind

This product looked good to me
I normally get another brand which was good but find you have to keep reapplying every few months even just for a few ants
This was $7 at my local Coles
It has Permethrim in it so it should knock any thing ova
It also said Indoor/Outdoor and is used for Ants Fleas and Bed Bugs
I think it may me another product from Pascoe's they make the best mould killer that you can only get from Bunning's called Glitz Mould Killer

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Omron, Port Melbourne VIC

Omron do a range of Pedometers and other things

I wanted to purchase one a while ago so I checked out reviews on the net and read pros and cons and star ratings etc

It was this brand and a couple of others that seem to be the most popular ones and most sites and place stocked them for around $30 for a good one that did calories fat steps etc
I got a model HJ109 for $34 from my local shop

What I didn't realise as the reviews had all said it was really good was it had now been discontinued which explained my frustration trying to get it to work numerous times

It comes with a good booklet that explains how to set your weight steps and how to work out your calories burnt and a trouble shooting guide

I read the booklet and couldn't get it to work properly by giving an accurate reading of steps calories etc

I took it back a few days later with my receipt and explained you get a reading but its not accurate and I wanted a refund it was faulty
But he said he would try it out for a few days so more public transport trips

So I went there a few days later and I get told its fine
I again said no you do get a reading but its not an accurate one

It was then when I came home with $34 of useless that I checked out the Omron site and found out the model had been discontinued

I emailed them they said send it to them they would have a look

That made me laugh so I can spend another $10 posting it to them and then I would probably get another HJ109 sent out to me when what I wanted was a refund from the faulty product not be out of pocket more

Unfortunately that one bad experience has put me off any further purchases of there products even though they seem to be one of the better brands to get
I felt like if you return something with a receipt in a couple of days from purchase and its in no way damaged and its not working properly you should be offered a refund if that's what you want

So why give a receipt for a purchase if in a couple of days you can't even get a refund

The do some awesome flavours like Hazelnut fudge and the fudge is nice and not really rich

Cookies and cream and mint chocolate crisp and a honey macadamia are all really good

My mum got some tickets from her work 4 and as she knew I loved the horses asked me if I wanted to go
It was only available for the one night
Her friend had already been and didn't want to go again but did drop me at the Belmont Race Park Perth place where we went
It was easy get in and out
I found there was way to much acrobat stuff that I personally felt didn't tie in for the show but they were very talented if you like that sort of thing
I would have loved to have seen more horse tricks
I got the impression it was more of an Elcabelo Blanco style but there was a lot more of the acrobats stuff than any horse stuff
If I had known in advance I also would have goggled it and been more aware
But I was not the only one that was saying it and for the price of up to $150
I purchased 2 programs books about the show $20 each and when I asked for another bag for my mother they said that would be 50c
Its one bag per purchase I was told
There was some good roping and trick riding
Don't get me wrong the acrobats stuff was good but it was not really what I was expecting
And they do a great job of controlling the Stallions in such a small space
If your just going for entertainment and a night out and see the horses that's great
But if you know anything about Spanish dancing or Dressage you may be disappointed by the movements
$15 extra for 2 hours of the parking there as well
Bit much I thought esp. with the prices of some of the tickets

This review is for Jelly Belly, Eastern Creek NSW

If you are a Jelly Baby person and you have not discovered these get them get a heap

Don't be put of with the mini size of them as they probably have more amazing tastes in each one that the larger ones do

I have seen about 4 different variety's
like ice creams and assorted

The also do a huge box like 600 grams the packets are 100

Flavours like bubble gum watermelon coconut lemon/lime liquorice tutti fruiti blueberry chocolate chunk strawberry sundae birthday cake apple pie chocolate mint

The bags are like a little freezer bag that you can zip lock good for taking places

I read reviews on line first and it was half and half
But I wanted to get what they had so thought I would try it out
I don't do a lot of shopping on line but what they had the shops no longer sold as it was a 2006 model but I got it really cheap
I remember when it came out it wasn't cheap so I grabbed it when I saw it
I straight away got emailed to confirm order and tracked which showed the approx. date of del about a week
People were complaining that its gone from Aus. Post to Toll for del and the service is really bad now
But there is a option when your filling in your details at the start that you can add extras to leave at front door etc.
So I'm not sure if some of the people didn't take advantage of the extra options and put down leave with neighbor/at front door
But sometimes I think it just depends who you get some will leave it others will just card you then its up to you
That annoys me when you have already paid for a delivery from any company and the post office refuse to bring it back
esp. If you left instructions leave at front door
On the day of my del I got a text del between 9am and 5pm
So if you don't want to miss it you have to be home most of the day
I'm not sure if you call Toll or the company and they can give you a better time on the day
Mine came by the am which was good
They have heaps of sales def. worth signing up to the email as you often get free postage deals
They pretty much sell everything you can imagine from rugs with snake prints :) toys clothing tools and often at huge discounts
Like they have boys cargos pants that are quick dry 3 colours and have zips that turn them into shorts good if you want to go camping fishing etc and are low on room it means you have trousers and shorts in one and they look pretty smart only had a few sizes about 5 - 8 they had a chart to help chose your size at the bottom if your not sure as all sizes vary and they were around the $16 mark they are 75% off they have some nice jackets for kids as well
it's pretty easy to navigate it's set out in order or you can do a search

They do real passion fruit pulp in a jar not like the tinned stuff
Places like Woolies and Coles seem to be not selling similar brand any more
Tried the other day only had tinned passion fruit
I use 1 jar for Passion Fruit Melting moments and double the recipe as you have to join them together
People love them and when they make them they get the tinned stuff thinking its the same and say they didn't taste the same It's the first question I ask did you get tinned or stuff in a jar
It's 150 Grams jar
I got it from the Fresh Markets at Whit fords 94015050
That's up near the Woolworth's end

Approximate cost: $4

Went there to day for my mothers bday

Had the Chicken and leak pie with salad the salad was nice and fresh and the dressing came out in a separate little pot which I like so you can add your own some put to much or not enough the chicken pie was really tasty and the pastry was light
I shared some mud cake with my sister im not normally one for that kind of thing but today I felt like some and I had a feeling that's what she would choose
It was very yum it was light almost like a sponge but had a real chocolate flavour to it as well as the icing on top
We got there about 11.30 but when we came out a couple hours later you could hardly see your car so that's probably a good time to get there
I noticed there was also people coming in on a bus as well
There is also the Iron Bark Brewery next door which would add to the cars esp. on a weekend
Fairly big beer list and a good wine list no spirits
and its not a BYO I did ask
