In South Australia it is generally a ‘soft’ drink or a ‘softie’. Our family calls it ‘fizzy’.
I.E Saturday night is ‘fizzy’ night.

It looks great Cindy.

After posting, the thread appears to return to the first post. Is this happening to anyone else?

You girls read my mind, I thought a thread about sweet comments our children make (sewing or speeding related) could be fun.

Matilda asked if my friend in England (the one who lives with Doctor Who) could make her another dress as she *really* knows how to sew a good dress.

Um, thanks Tildy.

*Disclaimer, it is a gorgeous dress…[Read more]
