Can't help you with the nappies Beth, you know my three are well past that stage although Gaz still sometimes acts like he could do with some - men eh!

As for make-up, I don't buy a lot of it, not much point wearing it in my job but you can get all the same makes you get in the UK and it's about the same price. Eg, I bought a Maybelline mascara here last week, the same one as I used to get in the UK, it was $24, UK about ?9.

When I was picking up my mascara, there was a woman looking at some on the next display that was a cheaper make, she was with her husband who was in his work gear i.e. shorts, vest and Blundstone boots. He asked how much it was, when she replied $9 he said, 'Christ Shaz, that's a six pack! Do you really need it?' I felt like asking him if he really needed that 24 pack of Waikato Draught he had in the trolley and adding that her mascara would last her a lot longer and leave her feeling a lot better about herself than his hangover would him.

Typical Kiwi or typical bloke? I think I know the answer to that one
