Cremorne St Bakers Choc Cross Bun Cookie Review: ‘Not Happy, Jan!’
Maddie and I were so excited when we spotted this jar of Easter cookies at Coles that we spent an exorbitant amount of money on it.

SOLT APPLIANCES
SOLT APPLIANCES Has any member had any experience good, bad or indifferent with SOLT appliances? I'm contemplating the purchase of a front load washer, top brands are very expensive and last a long time, but I'm 89 and longevity is no longer an issue but value is. Alternatively another low priced brand you may be able to recommend? Many thanks..
