- was vomited on at three in the morning
- missed my flight to Tasmania
- locked myself out of the house
- drove to Sandringham to collect my neighbour's house key in order to get my spare key from her kitchen drawer, and
- visited the All Souls' Opportunity Shop in Bay Road, Sandringham (tel: 9598 2189; M-F 9:30-5:00, S 9:30-12:00) where I recovered a portion of my childhood.
Help! I'm a Prisoner in the Library! is a book that I read as a child and have been trying to recall for the past few years. I could remember that library was incorrectly spelled but not the actual title and thought that it was a picture story book. I always have a look on the bookshelves in the op shop - for good children's books, for craft books and, well, anything else of interest. I have no recollection of how this book ends - it's next on my reading list!The All Souls' Opportunity Shop is fantastic, one of those old fashioned op shops where things cost a couple of dollars and there is a 5c basket. I also bought some great children's clothes, a vintage Fisher-Price toy, a couple of jumpers and a rubber duck (from the aforementioned 5c basket). Highly recommended.

Sorry you had such a bad day but it looks like it turned out well in the end. Very cute Liberry word :)
I just stumbled across this shop yesterday... oh my goodness! What a find! I managed to pick up 3 tops.. and they only came to $5.50! There were actually several awesome brands in there, I spotted several Witchery and David Lawrence tops!
Needless to day I was very impressed and will look forward to retuning there sometime soon!
Wow, i totally remember that book...what a flashback! Sounds like a great shop, will have to check it out soon.
