    Family milestone ignites debate over boundaries and attention: 'Everyone is calling her out'

    I too always run everything past my son and his partner with anything concerning THEIR daughter. I also did the same with my other sons kids when they were little - I just ask them now they are teenagers lol.

    Never say your number out loud—this story shows why

    I had never given this a thought but every time I buy from the local Petshop I just say my phone number to get my discount. Now I’ll be going through my purse to find my loyalty card and use that instead. That said, if I had got a call on my phone like she received I would block it immediately

    TV veteran's drastic move sparks vital conversation for older Australians: 'I am just disgusted'

    We moved to regional Victoria and although not crime free I do feel safer. We don’t have a shopping centre, although no shortage of shops. Recently when I went to visit family I called in a large shopping centre and I felt like I was on edge, hoping there were no machete gangs around. I have...

    $1850 lost in a plumbing scam—here’s what you should know before your next emergency call

    My son works for Reece plumbing and when we moved house and needed a plumber he advised us to call in the local Reece shop and ask about their recommendations for a trusted plumber. We got a great guy who we have used for a few jobs. Much better than looking on line at someone who has fake...

    Nine Christmas finds from Kmart for only $136—here’s how she did it

    When Halloween horror goes too far: Parents push back against ‘graphic’ store displays

    There is a face book page for Halloween callers near us. You register your address so people who aren’t interested don’t get callers. As most of the houses on our street are decorated,the kids usually only call at these houses anyway.

    When Halloween horror goes too far: Parents push back against ‘graphic’ store displays

    We’ve always joined in at Halloween since our boys were kids and then with the grandkids. It’s very big where we have moved to. Along with my neighbours, we dress up our houses and have an endless supply of treats for the local kids. I love seeing them dressed up in their costumes. The dog gets...
