    We have loads of them here too. Smiggle do a really nice little one for $6.95. The one I have is bigger though, it's about 4 inches long and it was one of those cancer council daffodil day ones you see at the checkouts in woolies. With the footy club, we had to replace the ones we had, and I brought a Surgipack branded one for $55 for the canteen and it had loads of stuff in it. I thought it was really reasonable for the price. We added more bandaids and gloves to it, oh and alcohol wipes - I also added those to the car kit too.

    I think that sounds pretty reasonable. I guess they get their money back with the high postage LOL.

    yeah that was my thought! but then, they're in a hard plastic container, so they would have to pay for cubic weight so maybe it isn't quite so bad... and getting two of them is better than just the one lol

    tehehehe don't think the average joe would have a bp cuff and stethoscope in their kit lol

    MG - bandages and things - what would you suggest i'd need in there - i always have tubigrip in my handbag for ankle and wrist issues (cos mine are screwed), but would you suggest heavy or lighter weight banages? and what sizes?
