Apart from Telstra, there wasn't really anyone else either, I don't think. That's why we had to go with them. No Optus mobile service around here.

We don't have much internet at the moment, my uploads and downloads are bare minimum until we get a proper connection Serious withdrawals I hear you!! We are on wireless and only get 12g per month. With 2 teenagers in the house and hubby and I being internet slaves too, we always run out after 3 weeks. We can't get adsl in our rental and unfortunately it will be the same when we move into our new house. I was happy because one of my subjects for uni is online next semester, so I wouldn't have to drive to uni. But because of limited internet, I still have to go onto campus to study Re: Our Pakenham Ivanhoe, We live here! 532Jul 04, 2011 7:24 pm Hi everybody, thought i'd post a couple of little teaser pics.

Your white couches look gorgeous. I love the kitchen too. What colours did you use?? I had a quick look through the thread but couldn't find the names We had a bit of a stuff up with our kitchen, a little complimentary upgrade (Thanks guys!) We have polar white vinyl wrap (which was our first choice but too exxy for us) and a Dulux metallic splashback called neutral intrigue, changes colour depending on the light, sometimes mauve/pink sometimes brown, sometimes even grey. planfan It's great to enjoy cleaning a kitchen. Have fun getting the extra touches. I like the white couch with those cushions and the blue table/seat. Moving in sooon. We'll see you around amazing_venice B1 It looks AWESOME!
