Thinking about buying some new duck/eider down pillows. Would we get them through costoms in Oz????

A search on www.aqis.gov.au

or

http://www.affa.gov.au/content/publication...93E5D87CAB8AF20

It says the following must be declared:

animal products:
feathers, bones, horns, tusks, wool and animal hair (must be clean and free of any tissue)
skins, hides and furs
stuffed animals and birds (taxidermy certificate required - some may be prohibited under endangered species laws)
shells and coral (including jewellery and souvenirs)
bee products including honey *, beeswax and honeycomb
used animal equipment including veterinary equipment and medicines, shearing or meat trade tools, saddlery and tack and animal or bird cages

It doesnt actually say you cant.

haha - we arent bothering as are buying new marital bed - and as the oz bed sizes are bigger are waiting until we get over there and then go and buy Manchester using the oz sizes.

Who would have thought we would have been rich enough to buy MANCHESTER!!!!If you had been a kid and said one day, when i grow up - I am going to buy MANCHESTER, you would have had the mickey took out of you, haha.

Just done our marine insurance forms - what a headache them are!!

Back to the pillow talk...........

Just bought two memory foam pillows for under £20. The BP petrol stations are selling them.
I have not seen them cheaper anywhere, there around £20-30 each in the shops.

Tried one last night. Wow......so comfy. Going to get some more.

Gill was looking at duvet covers and other girly things in a shop once. Bored out of my tiny brain I paced around the shop a few times before coming across these pillows. They're brilliant. They had a sample in the shop. I poked. I prodded. I'm sure I must have been on the security camera because I was there doing what I was doing for about 5 mins.

One of the staff ( a fine looking lass) approached and asked if I needed any help. I said no thanks, I'm quite happy poking your pillows...

Well, maybe I didn't, but the thought did cross my mind. That is, I thought about saying it... Oh, you know what I mean...

You're here. I mean there. I didn't buy any in the end. All that Nasa technology in my house, how could I sleep at night?

If you get the chance to get one, I guarantee you will not be sorry.
I can't wait to go to bed tonight, to lay my sleepy head on my new memory pillow!
