    Health officials issue measles warning after visits to public places

    I was always led to believe I hadn’t had measles, even though my sister had it and Mum made sure I was in close contact with her. I know I was never immunised for measles. To protect my grandkids I had a blood test to see if I needed vaccinating and it came up that I had immunity. So maybe I did...

    Could your favorite online store disappear next? Why Woolies abandons online shop after just 3 years

    I’ve bought the odd thing from My Deal but I can’t say I’ll miss it. Funny thing but, I bought some items from OZ Sale a couple of weeks ago and it came up on the My Post app as a delivery from My Deal. So I don’t know if the two companies are linked somehow.

    What’s wrong with this ice cream? One photo has sparked a classic Aussie debate

    This wouldn’t actually be a mini sized Magnum would it. It looks like it could be, or the guy has big hands lol.

    Pigeon killer fined $48k, one of WA's largest animal cruelty fines

    Me too, I’m terrified of birds but I would never intentionally hurt one. It broke my heart to hear of the suffering this bird went through

    Still driving as a senior? Here’s a hidden danger you might not know about

    I have trouble driving at night. I will drive locally as it’s a straight, well lit road and I’m confident driving it. But I won’t drive our local country roads after dark. I’m not confident that I won’t hit an animal or go off the road in the darkness. Now i have read this I will be booking an...

    Aussies are fleeing major cities for this little-known destination—and it’s not what you think!

    I like Geelong and I can understand why people are moving there. But we have found the perfect place for us with East Gippsland. Loving it here

    Shoppers trash store aisles, leave Kmart staff to clean up mess

    It’s not hard to put something back where you got it from. I quite often pick up stock from the floor and hang it back up but I think that pile in the photo I might have walked past, but there again just can’t help myself lol

    Pet owners turn to veterinary telemedicine services for non-emergencies

    That’s a great idea. Sometimes you just need reassurance that it’s nothing serious. We have a vet that comes to us and because she has no overheads ie rent and power bills she is so much cheaper than taking our fur babies to a surgery. Plus the animals are so much more relaxed being treated in...

    Copperart

    I had the biggest argument with one of the area managers at Copperart. I had ordered a ‘love seat’ for my son and his partner for Christmas and they promised delivery in time So I paid for it. Then they rang and told me it wouldn’t be until after Christmas as there were none in the whole state...

    Shoppers rave over $5 Kmart find taking winter shelves by storm

    It looks like something your year 7 kid brings home from their first pottery lesson in high school lol. I’m all for quirky stuff but not this one

    ‘Screaming, crying, throwing up’: All because ALDI said goodbye to this!

    Well, am I being selfish because I really don’t care if they get rid of this. I HATE anything with coconut and being diabetic I shouldn’t be eating chocolate anyway. I’m sure some people will miss it but not me lol

    Fact of the Day: A road in Hungary plays a song if you drive at the right speed

    A bit like the bridge in Melbourne, it plays aboriginal music as you walk over it. When we went over it, about one in the morning without another person in sight, it scared me half to death lol
