Dropped into Tuncurry to have a sticky beak at the fabrics this shop had. A little squeezy in the isles when a lady was there with a pram - couldnt get past or near the counter for service . Lovely Japanese fabric selection which is what I was after and I purchased a panel as well. The owner is often at shows, so was a little disappointed as the lady there wasnt 'keen'. I expected a better standard as I have purchased there before. Overall, there is a wonderful array of fabrics , a little pricey for my pocket, but normal prices for boutique fabric stores. Thanx for the lovely fabrics - I have already used them up :)

Approximate cost: $56.00

Yum Yum and Yum. When visiting Forster - this is the ONLY cake shop I will go too!!!!! My last purchase was some bread rolls and two yummy fruit and fresh cream sponge cakes. All I can say is that out tummies were well and truly full with our morning tea on the way home. Great Prices, Easy to park in the more than adequate car park and a great selection of cakes, pies and more. Will be back next time I am up in Forster/Tuncurry!!!!

Approximate cost: $8.80

Great Range of books on this site. PayPal would be a great bonus as not all of us are happy to provide our credit card details anymore due to identity theft etc. Good value for money

Approximate cost: $40

Amazing prices for all books. Great Value. Better than some other sites too. Searched their site, found what I wanted and ordered them. Well packaged for delivery so no damage to the item. Some books may not be in stock but you are advised throughout your purchase of what is happening

This review is for Hawkesbury Holden, Windsor NSW

I had a full 200,000 service on my 2000 Commodore which incidently I had purchased from them in 2002. Had moved south for three years . Needed to get my car serviced, worried about going up and down the mountain without a proper service. I had an approximate cost given to me with a promise to call me if anything else came up. I did receive a call from the service manager, we talked about cost and discount and I okayed it to go ahead. Was a little longer to collect because of this. The car is running beautifully so I am a happy customer.

Approximate cost: $1345

This review is for The PinUp Shop Paint Worx, Riverstone NSW

My car looks amazing, having lots of compliments about the job and the colour. Friendly service, great price, excellent work. Had my car back very quickly. While I was there I saw a Sandman Panel Van and an old Holden being done up. The owner - Brendan - does a lot of custom jobs for car/truck/ute shows. Some of the cars are missing bits and he out sources these. A beautiful red VW Van was there - absolutely gorgeous. He says no job is too small and rush jobs are a specialty.

Approximate cost: $2500 for my job

This review is for The Quilting Mouse, Worrigee NSW

Lovely studio with backing fabrics for my quilts. Do it Yourself quilting on two quilting machines to finish off your patchwork. I got to use the quilting machine to complete my quilt by using my patchwork top, batting and backing fabric with co-ordinating thread. I was a little scared at first to use the machine but gained confidence as I went along. Other fabrics to help me complete it. Coffee, Biscuits and friendly banter. Warm inside away from the winter gales. Had a great time and felt complete satisfaction that I did my own quilting. Di the owner also does quilts for people if they dont want to do their own and Di and a band of helpers make many quilts for charity - the whole reason she started the Quilting Mouse for.

Approximate cost: $5 up material and $100 and p for quilting

This review is for Kmart, Nowra NSW

WOW. Nowra's Kmart is now open 24/7. Great for shift workers or even when you have forgotten a gift or the sports are driving you made on TV and you can drive to Kmart at 10pm at night to buy a video to watch - hubby and son love that. Value for your $. Good selection for all the family. I know its a big store - it is worth mentioning. Xmas time - great to go shopping in the off period and not the peak time. Staff are helpful and will check if they have the product you are looking for or will help you find it on their shelves which are remarkably tidy in the 'holiday' season
