I've never seen them in Australia. They are in a tube in the refrigerator section. You pop open the tube, pull apart the biscuits (it's in dough form) and bake. EASY and yummy ... but like I said ... never seen them here !! :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703184796850969105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012919536338019202.post-744320773532949442008-02-03T08:15:00.000+11:002008-02-03T08:15:00.000+11:00Love this post!

(Monday is our day too & I think the best after a full on weekend). In our case the school offers activities after school which means i get extra time to prepare dinner before I pick them up & little miss does not have to be woken from her power nap. I also use neighbours & school friends who do the same activities to share the drop off & pick ups. :)Trainee Planning Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317384106594462600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012919536338019202.post-68195947200356631872008-02-01T06:08:00.000+11:002008-02-01T06:08:00.000+11:00Good reminder! we are starting to get some little ...Good reminder! we are starting to get some little tantrums at 15 months and I'm sure they are frustration at not being able to communicate.

I hope you don't mind me returning the favor, I have to say I LOVE what you've written, and the family time for which you advocate! Family dinners are difficult in my own home with my husband's schedule, but we make sure to have "together time" whenever possible. When I was a child, my mother used to also have "Sunday Tea" which was time for just me and her to sit, do some crocheting, drink tea, have breakfast and chat. Family bonds are extremely important to nurture! <BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind if I check back often- have a wonderful day!Michaele Sommervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990037834550670314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012919536338019202.post-11386422061240655712008-01-23T14:51:00.000+11:002008-01-23T14:51:00.000+11:00Thanks for the suggestions Cath.

Normally they are in bed by 8pm but these days with the holiday and all, their bedtime is often stretched to 9-9:30pm (shocking!).
