second you on the carpet! we have GREY carpet and boy I wish I could find a nice neutral coloured that didn't cost $100+per m
as to batteries - I bought loads of aa & aaa & square ones - and they were listed on the packing details -- maf & customs didnt bat an eye??
but I didn't really have much paint so I left it for the new owners of the house (it was just dregs)
But boy I wish I had brought brand new tins - as they all say its expensive - but if you buy a big tub of white you can buy the colour tints separately and mix them yourself (this is what I did and I saved myself $30)
