    My daughter has just asked me to buy a kiddies tool kit made by Home Depot. A neighbour of hers, recently over from Canada, brought one with her. Has anyone seen anything like this in Florida?

    Another 'early' Christmas present coming on!

    Reading this reminds me of Airport Orlando last week where a Scottich couple went really mad, ended up with 7 bags between thr two of them and were surprised when they had to pay $800 excess baggage, they had no money to pay it as theyhad spent it all on bargain shopping and had to scramble around making calls to friends and family to scrounge the money. So in the end they saved nothing. I think common sense has to prevail!

    We always bring back things for our kids....their friends.....and a few of my husbands workmates..or something for their kids.....the bringing back of things for the little ones started when a son of a workmate was sick....and a daughter of one friend was very upset over her parents break up......the little girl now has a room full of Disney things for when she stays with her daddy......and the little boy loves his Mickey and had it with him in hospital all through his tests......the rest are mostly baby clothes....my husbands workmate is sick with cancer he thought he was free from it....but it was back in a few months and he is young with a new baby and 2 other kids....I have my eye on a cute little suit for their new baby girl....

    We bought lots of things back for people - watches for my Dad, Mum, Brother-in-law and Mother-in-law. I also brought back gadget type things, such as a pedometer for people who have been trying to get fit by walking, they were only $3 in Walmart. I see things and think "oh that would be nice for ...." and buy it. It is all so cheap that I don't worry about it. Also in Walmart they had these fantastic little LED key rings that were so bright, I ended up buying about 5 of them at $2.50 it seemed such a bargain.

    Increasing Customs Tax Free Limits

    Not much commented upon in the press was the cheery news for globe-trotters that the tax free limit for goods brought in from outside the EC is being raised to £1,000 from the current limit of £145.
