    Heartbreaking: Vandals wreck homeless tradie’s makeshift home

    There’s probably a good reason for not doing this but after WWII housing was in short supply and they used prefabricated homes. I can remember visiting a friend of my sister who was still living in one of these homes when I was a kid. I was born 1957 so a good while after they were built. I can...

    Neighbour's note about her baby leaves new mum ‘in tears’, sparking community debate

    I think the neighbours need to lighten up. If it’s as bad as they say then they should have the guts to speak to the new parents and work something out with them. I can honestly say I have never complained about noise from a neighbour. I might have a bit of a grizzle to my husband at a dog...

    This $9 Kmart find is flying off the shelves: 'I use mine all the time!'

    I’m quite impressed with the pizza container. We don’t eat pizza often but when we do there are usually a few slices left over.

    Mum shares genius side hustle to bring in hundreds of dollars each week!

    Me too. When I started a new job twenty odd years ago. A young girl I worked with asked me why I ironed. Said it’s just what you do. She said I didnt need to. She said fold things or hang them straight away. Whatever you wear your body heat will get rid of most creases and let’s face it, it...

    Man faces shocking penalty charges for common driving habit

    The only time my phone sits in the cradle is when I need to use maps. I have a bluetooth device in the car that I can make and receive calls on but I never talk while I’m driving. If I’m not using my phone for maps then it stays in my bag.

    Customers express outrage over hidden fees on an ‘average tasting sandwich’

    And Dutton would fix the problem?? He doesn’t have a clue, all he does is say no to everything. He has no solutions to anything, if he had a thought it would be lonely. I guess we are stuck with the best of a bad bunch

    Customers express outrage over hidden fees on an ‘average tasting sandwich’

    I would have been happy to pay extra for toasting. Times are hard right now and so many cafes can’t afford to stay open. It doesn’t hurt to support small business.

    I just can’t wear something more than once without washing it. Everything I take off goes straight in the laundry basket, it doesn’t feel right returning things I’ve worn back to the wardrobe with the clean stuff - I just can’t do it
