.... okay - I went the long way to the kids house but it only added 5 minutes to the usual route. ;)
I have to admit I was a fairly good girl - I didn't spend as much as I have on previous occasions when they had 50%.

Some of the things in the outlet aren't available in the shops so you get to sample things you wouldn't normally. The place was packed - I wouldn't mind having their takings for the long weekend ... it would have been a very handy sum.
I also called into Bunnings which had an outlet next door almost to Lindt so the trip wasn't all chocolatey. I needed a new rake - got a steel one with an ergonomic handle - my last one finally fell apart and was sent to the great recyclers in the sky.
I do need to go to IKEA as well which is in the same complex (the Sydney Business Park at Marsden Park which is less than 10 mins away) but I promised my DIL I'd go with her.

The whole complex covers 256 hectares with lots of businesses opening every few months. Costco is due to open early next year; JB HiFi is almost ready to open it's doors. The Good Guys, Beacon, Pet Stock, Aldi, Repco, Snooze plus a few dozen other shops are either now open or opening this month.
It's terrible when 3 of your favourite stores are located within walking distance of each other. Now if they'd just open an Art Supplies place in the same complex I'd be a very happy girl.
Of course I'd probably be broke in a short space of time but at least it would be a happy broke... lol.
