On Vanessa's advice, I've ordered some of Dr. Bronner's tea tree liquid soap. Which actually makes me *most* excited! It's a wound antiseptic, body wash, facial cleanser, shampoo, laundrey soap and TOOTHPASTE in-one.
Using one of the two packs that Pam and Tony are sending out for me to 'test' - I'm half packed right there!
A generic 512mb MP3 player for $63.00. A quick search on them indicates at least an $80 savings.
BOOKS! Rough Guide
and Let's Go Australia, as well as one of Sal's recommendations, The Situation is Hopeless But Not Serious by Paul Watzlawick.The books cost me $4 because Chrissykins sent me a whopping $50 US gift certificate for my birthday. Yay!
Hmm? What else? Oh, a BULK load of low-rise thongs from La Senza. Which more than likely fell off the back of a truck but whatever, I paid $28 for about $120 worth of underwear.
OH! And just a few minutes ago I won the auction for my Olympus Stylus 300 (after losing at least 6 over the last few days) for $165.00. They retail here for $299ish and even on one of the few Canadian Sale websites I found they were on for $249 without a battery.
Oh god, and did I mention how much I actually paid for my flight? Normally from Canada, a round trip flight to Australia is at least $2000. Maybe $1800 if you're lucky. Mine? $1279 BABY!
If I hadn't spent so much money in the last couple days I'd feel like I should have money coming back, I rock so much.
But, then again, I have lists and lists of things still to buy. I think I need to go lie down. For a year.
