BTW peeps ; don't forget to write down ALL your passwords to include in your will . My daughter has a back up copy of mine

Wonderful approach Bank accounts -- have you checked that will work in her favour ?

I refuse to use SCO ; "if yo don't trust me don't invite my in" No fast check out (12 items) I don't go in (to the store) ---- I go to Aldi occasionally :( I have left my shopping for them to put back on the shelf when I couldn't get service --- maybe more should do that ;)

Tips from recent and on going , and on going , and on going experience Don't rush into the funeral ; give family/friends 7-10 days or more to get themselves organizing . Try not to have too many making the same decisions --- one cleans out of the house ---- another sorts out the money ---- same...

Makes more sense than adding to the road side ''sign pollution'' ; much of which is insurance against insurance claims :( Little off topic: the best sign pollution is "new road work -- no lines -- don't over take -- slow down" and 100 mts on is "end road work" WTD!!

same goes for tooth paste --- all the adverts showing the brush is totally covered is just a "use more" trick Better clothes washing trick imo is start the wash then pause to soak for as long as you like .

(plastic) micro fiber is not good for environment . Best to use good old fashion but natural cotton

I don't use self service ! If the store invites me in to spend money they can bloody well give me a little service ! I have left a full basket and walked out when service was not available . Yep; then someone had to put it all back on the shelf while I shopped elsewhere

If that's biggest drama for the day then the world is safe Was all part of the fun of shopping back in day before it was only 'perfect' fruit accepted , farmers not getting paid for all they grow and the so, so much bloody waste ! Old joke : what is worse than finding a grub in your apple ...

will make sweet bugga all difference . Nothing like what some people want/need

That online store was aussie blokes cloths but they seem MIA :( --- last FB post was Dec 2023 and the web site is gone to cyberspace heaven :(

I have found , or I had found a store were good quality shirts are the proper/same size (2x) across the range --- but I couldn't find them yesterday to add a link :( . I know where I can get "JB's wear" ;) if I cannot find the one I used last year Perhaps you could add a link to your favourite...

I have no idea how anyone (especially woman) can order clothing online when there is no international sizing so all sizes are the same across all lines . From personal experience at a walk in River's store : clothing material has become so thin it is of little to no use for grease rags even...

Fitted sheets wear out faster ; a lot faster , so be smart and buy flat sheets only so they are swapped around from top to bottom ;) My parents/grandparent would tear worn sheets in half longways , and then sew the two outsides together to get far more life out of what was then thicker...

My thoughts : Coles mostly , but I'm not shopping for a family so I buy what I need/want and have very little waste . If ALDI wasn't in Australia we would be paying a lot more --- a hell of a lot more! --- for food and the likes. Coles and WW have had to lower , or keep the their priced down...
