This week has brought a few surprise learnings. And, frankly, for some I really should have known better!
1. Online shopping combined with PayPal will bring your finances asunder. It's just too easy to spend money in the grown-up version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
2. Handy tin, but Moxie tampons are almost impossible to unwrap. Not sure what one is supposed to do with an unwrappable tampon, but you'll be pleased to know that I didn't find out.
3. Apparently a box of tampons needs its own website these days. Including a page outlining 'the collection'.
4. Nits prefer to hang out around the ears and at the nape of the neck. Who knew?
5. Megan Morton does not seem to be embarassed about the fact that she calls herself a 'house whisperer'.
6. Formspring.me is a site where you're asked random questions and you can share your answers. I have no idea what you would actually do with it, but this is what I learned.
7. Week 7, Term 2, Year Kindergarten: Maxi-Taxi isn't 'applying the required amount of effort to his studies'. Parent -Teacher interview has been set up for next Friday to 'discuss strategy'. Oh, Maxi-Taxi.
8. You can't return something at Myer without a receipt. You can 'exchange for something of the same value' but you can't just get your money back. I think I kinda knew this, but I never keep receipts that aren't for tax. I wish I was one of those people that keeps receipts that aren't for tax, but I'm not.
9. A tub of Ski Delite Berry Basket Yoghurt has 41% of an adult's daily ration of sugar. 41%! My teeth nearly fell out of my head on the spot. I let my kids eat that stuff in healthy snack proportions!! I'm on the prowl for a lower sugar version (that doesn't contain 900 sweetner numbers and doesn't taste so yoghurt-tart that little mouths pucker). Do you think I can find one?
10. When goats give birth it's called 'kidding'. That's a joke, right?
