Plasticne Memories flood back of the feel, smell and fun us kids had with plasticine. It was once a part of everyday school life for infants kids. Boy did we look forward to that part of the day, I’m sure it would now be called creative play or some fancy name. We just called it playtime, which...

Bunnings can’t win a trick at the moment it seems. I read that there were multiple businesses in the complex so technically the car park serviced all of them.

Personally I think any person who is running around with any life threatening item, knife, gun, sword etc etc, and using it in a way that is threatening to ANYONE in the community needs to be dealt with by the police in whatever way they can to stop the person. If that means shooting and...

Another must have item. For years people have been surviving without one, even when using gas heaters, wood stoves and fires and putting cars in their garage. I’m sure proper maintenance of said items and a bit of common sense is all people need.

I find if I do one main shop every fortnight or three weeks, then only buy fresh produce, milk and bread in between I’m not spending as much. I only go to the supermarkets when I really need fresh stuff. I stretch out the time between my big shops as much as I can by using items I have at home...

Our local council have recently started a service where they will collect certain recyclables from people’s homes, soft plastics being one. The problem is each household has to put them in shopping sized bags and there is a limit of two bags per household per month. If you use shopping bags...

I’m sure lots of stores will be carrying similar items as is the case with all new items of clothing brought out each season.

hubby and I both grew up on farms and still have family who live on farms. Kangaroos are a major problem in our area, they cause a lot of damage on farms, eat a lot of pasture, break fences, cause havoc on the local roads, have even been seen hopping down some streets in town. Hubby grew up...

I can totally believe that, I rarely iron anything anymore. A lot of clothes are made out of material that doesn’t need to be ironed if laundered properly and hung or folded as soon as it is dry. I find it easy to fold clothes as I get them off the line, take them and hang up straight away if...

Hubby and I are seriously considering turning more of our big backyard into a vegie plot and growing things like gramma, squash, etc. that people usually can’t buy in shops and selling some. We already grow more grammas and pumpkins than we can use and give them away. We have also started taking...

Chuck it in the slow cooker and you’ll be surprised how tender it will cook up. I buy chuck steak and gravy beef and slow cook them both, they are so nice and tender when cooked this way. Makes a lovely stew, stroganoff etc.

Wonderful news, wishing you both all the happiness and love you desire going forward.

Old computers We still have one of these computers, rarely use it, but good talking point with grandkids. Our daughter has a lot of photos stored on it from her first two trips to America for Star Wars line ups and movie releases and conventions.

Totally agree, what he did was just as dangerous as holding a phone, or more so. He obviously wasn’t concentrating on his driving, and why did he need to get his wallet out and extract $50 out of it while he was driving. Both his hands were compromised, he definitely didn’t have proper control...
