Koi UPS is that cheap? Heck if it is Lindy I'll send your package this week or so:%)I was still expecting $30-40, and figured I'd have to wait, because I sure wasn't going to take the chance with USPS if I had another option

Oh Thank Goodness!!!

I was beginning to wonder whether it was the US or Australia that should have had the belly ache

Now Lindy I totally forgot about the cookies being in the boxdescribe them and the wrapper and I can tell you what kind they are, I mean it's only been what 2 months? since it was shipped?

The orange drink is basically just dump it into water, shake and drink...it's 16oz bottles that we have here, for those here in the states its Crystal Light's orange drink

I'm so glad that you like it all, and the coconut ice, is well shreaded coconut, pressed into a bar and candieized (word?) like fudge, then sliced, I love them

And by the sound of it everything did arrive

Enjoy and tell Adrian that if he hadn't just eaten half the bag he would have really liked them

What did you get? I would love to know what you don't have there and what you think of it.

Heres the list!
Candy corn, baby ruth, butterfingers, almond joy, tootsie roll pops, hersheys krackel, mounds, koolaid, laffy taffy, airheads, winnie the pooh marshmallows, mickey mouse lollies, white kitkats, peanut butter cheese crackers, baby bottle candy, candy rings, jalepeno jelly, pez dispenser, orange early rise drink, coconut ice (i think?) and some sort of cookie with cream inside.

There was also a nappy bag, nappies, a baby bottle, plastic spoons, baby wipes, baby bath and powder (lavendar), a squeezy drink bottle, bath toys and a woody figurine from toystory.

While I wrote this list out Adrian ate half the bag of candy corn and says they are yuck. Maybe because he just ate half the bag!?

he's no fun lindy!!

anyway, enjoy

might the cookies with cream in the middel be oreos? (ps, they are yummy with milk)

Oh, good, I know that Heidi was so worried and disappointed that the box did not arrive. She will be so glad to know they arrived safely. Enjoy. I know she especially packed some things for both your boys.

ohhh white kitkats... try those... yummy

I feel the same about candy corn

No, we'd recognise Oreos, and chocolate oreos, and peanut butter and chocolate oreos... and the rest of the oreo clan. They arrived here a few years ago and knocked Sunshine out of the market.

Sounds good Lindy!

Do y'all have reeses peanut buttercups?

contrats lindy!!!!!

ermmm was this before or after he ate the last of the timtams ....again.

And for those that don't know...baby ruths arent named after babe ruth but after President cleavlands first born daughter...according to what I remember from the Smithsonian I think she'd died as an infant .

and now that we're all sad....lets eat chocolate !

Well it took a while to get here but the big box of goodies finally arrived today. My goodness girl you have spoiled me! Adrian hovered around the box like an excited kid waiting for me to say "OK, pick something!" I let him sweat it for 30 mins.
The package was opened by AQIS but nothing was removed. I have a pamphelet from customs which lists what will not get through so if anyone is sending anything to Aus shoot me a PM and i'll try and figure out if its okay or not.

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much Heidi, you have stocked up my fridge and cupboard with goodies for quite a while!

Lindy

PS For the Aussies, Baby Ruth bars are very much like Picnic bars. Yummy!

Well the candy corn is obviously not too bad, he's taken the rest of the packet to work today.
I'll post a pic of the cookie when i get a sec to take one. Ryan is sick atm so he's keeping me extra busy taking naps on me.

We do have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Fishguy, but they're difficult to find. In fact, I haven't seen them around for a few years .

Butterfingers are the best - I'm jealous Lindy! Now I'll have to go to the fancy imported lolly store in the city and buy some for $3 a bar .

Or just have one of us Americans ship you some JB.

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

You are joking about the $3 a bar thing aren't you? that is as bad as shipping costs and then it taking close to a life time (or so it felt) to get the package there

And Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Lindy do I need to add some to the package? Or do you want more of something? I'll send more of what you want in this next box of nummies of course, the new baby may be 10 before it gets there

I hope Ryan feels better soon, it's awful when the little ones get sick, it really is...poor little guy...when he feels a bit better or is up to a bath, put him in the tub with one of those little round/square/whatever shaped compacted things unwrapped and let him watch it...they are funny

And if you didn't get any candy corn it'll be in the next package, maybe I should wrap it up like a birthday gift or female stuffes so you can hide it from Adrian

I've never seen Peanut Butter Cups here so if i'm not too late to have them added i'll take some. I'll even send some to JB if she's nice.

I tried the cookie just now. Yummy!!! Cinnamon or ginger or spice of some sort in it with a cream filling? I dont know if it got squashed during shipping or if thats how they are meant to look but i'll attach a pic. Either way, very nice. Definately not an Oreo.

Oh and I did get some of the candy corn before it was snuck out of the house today.

Looks like a oatmeal cookie
