Of course. They are South Australian. But some of them are better than others. Freckles, bullets, almonds - divine. I’m not a fan of some of their fillings though.

No freezers at work. Only fridges. You'd be surprised at the number of tupperware containers that have been left in there for months with mould growing.

Well 2018 has had quite a cold start for us.Charleston which on January 1 2017 had a temp of 48F-67F today had a temp of 31F at 10am.Max at midday of 36F and by 4pm 33F and back to 31F at 5pm.
Tomorrow they forecast snow when we arrive in Savannah.Parts of Florida have had their first snow in 40 years.

Haha drron, we were at Charleston also this trip.

We did the Old jail ghost tour, USS Yorktown, carriage horse ride through the town, aome shopping and harbour cruise. Did you see the SQ 787?. We did an Airbnb in a classic Charleston bungalow

But is is a dry area? If so you cannot drink alcohol there so buying off site wouldn't make any difference.

No one searches the vehicles . So can bring in and drink in privacy of room. Certainly out of respect I would not BYO to the restaurant. We had very bad non alcoholic champagne (as described by restaurant at Goulding’s)

So doing an all nighter in Melb Airport tonight to catch a 6am flight to Sydney tomorrow......
Name on AFF list\thread already seeking guest pass to lounge in am or tonight......
Any suggestions on locations to bunk(in airport) and occupy time? PM me!
Not really needing a checked in 23kg bag but are there any services that would pay me for "documents" to deliver airport to airport?

Doing a road trip back to Melb after picking up his new car!

I love Haighs chocolate, especially the chocolate frogs. My husband loves the mint frogs. We don't get to have them very often now that I don't work near one of the shops. I personally consider them high quality chocolate. I'd consider them better than Lindt but that's just my personal opinion and might be different to other opinions.

Haighs does the job! Chocolate Frogs are the best.

Limping towards the finish line for day 1 back in the office...

I dont open them! But I do a email saying there is tupperware going into the bin and they are going to be in the bad books with their partner or mum if they dont claim it asap.

I just cant toss Tupperware, Im a Tupper'tart.

See I'm an anti-Tupper gal. I had a lot in the past and have thrown it all out. Think it is grossly overpriced for what it is and that the 'serving dish' products are plain tacky. I would never serve anything in plastic, even when it just the two of us. And I really don't like the party model of selling. Guess I'm just a grump.

A document courier? Most of those jobs are taken and not very easy to get in the door.

What a great way to work. Get paid to travel in business class with documents, meet someone to sign documents and then return with signed documents.

I'll throw out any container in the fridge if it's growing. All empty (clean) containers were left on the table and people were given a deadline by which to collect, after which they became "free to good home".

We're wondering if maybe the fridge lost power over the break causing someone to empty it, as all sauces, butters, jams etc are also gone.

Work fridges can be a big concern. It makes me think about the movie Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes which is rated in the top 10 worst movies ever made. Then of course there was The Blob. Both could have started from being in a work fridge.

I did that Sydney-New York-Sydney once, when working for an investment bank. Very important contract that needed signing ASAP, in the original, before e-mails etc.

Our stash bought just before Christmas. Just a quick grab.

I just agreed on the last liney bit.

I'm not safe with any chocolate around. I buy a 12 pack of snickers to eat one each night or every second night and find myself having 5-6 bars in one night.

Addictive personalities are hard to control. Best to just cut off the supply.

Yep. I’m the same. The packet will stay sealed for weeks - open it up and it’s Gone in 60 seconds.

I love Haigh's, and I love that there is one in the same building as my dentist. I often get a post-checkup treat

You like to live dangerously then?

 

[Denali]

I use Tupperware for pantry and fridge storage. Great stuff for that.

Serving dish stuff shouldn't be plastic.

I also left my Haight chocolates at work and now wished I didn't.
