    The Official Bingo Thread!

    The answer to that is one of three things: * You have not looked at the first post in this thread * You did not scroll down to the Bingo numbers at the bottom of the daily email * You are the same as me -- the daily numbers did not match anything on my card. Today's numbers below :giggle: But...

    Aussies share techniques to save $400 every month to combat cost of living crisis

    Never too old to learn ... I found this out by accident. You are wise to ignore the topic - once you learn about it, you can't unknow it. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. And before anyone asks - 'no' I haven't seen a bleached 'anything.' And have no wish to. 😂 😂 :ROFLMAO:

    Entertainer and singer Kamahl to appear in court hearing after alleged stalking charges

    Never loan money. If you can't afford to donate or give it, don't do it. Sorrow awaits those who disagree. Ask Kamahl if he will loan money again. Oh - a demand for money is not fear mongering ... it could be if it is YOU who owes the debt!! Once again, the aggrieved becomes the victim, while...

    Aussies share techniques to save $400 every month to combat cost of living crisis

    1. Think of areas of the body most people would not want to look (male and female) where the sun doesn't (or shouldn't) shine. 2. Use the words "genito-perineal whitening" in your search. (Read all items generated by Google) 3. Not going to say anything more - I'm in enough trouble talking...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    It's a sad state of affairs. I'm not having a bar of EV's either. If the battery goes bung, straight awat $15k replacement min. 20% loading on Insurance - they are expensive to repair/replace. And the batteries have bad habits of catching fire. This year I investigated TPP (indemnity-only)...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    You are right about that. CTP insurance is almost the same as Comprehensive these days. CTP: $309 Comprehensive: $360 for a car worth abou $5k.

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    If they do adopt "the recommendation of the committee" it could still be phased in over time. I don't see this Labor mob paying Jobseeker @ 90% of the Age pension straight up. Labor don't have the ticker for that. They want to destroy that old bogey man, that they cannot manage as well as the...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    The age pension is about the same as the disability pension. But Jobseeker is a bit behind, as we know. As far as I know, the system does not operate as a "waiting list/queue." It is based on "eligible/not eligible."

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    That article was written BEFORE the March increase of 1.78% in the pension. "Potential boosts... ?" Well we saw what happened. The "potential" is still only "potential." It was hardly a "boost." Wasn't even a catch up on cost of living. Some people went backwards due to rent hikes. I feel for...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    Age Pensioners will not get another rise until third week in September 2024. And I love this comment from the delusional Jim Chalmers: " ...the recommendations that that important, well-regarded, well-informed committee ..." Those "well informed, well-regarded, important committee members"...

    And you know, they may not have had them for very long before 'falling on hard times' too. I am immune to name calling - it shows the person doing it is unable to carry their point of view very well & has not done their research. After reading this, you might reinterpret the word 'Judgy' as...

    Grrr! :mad: So far just B:12 O:75 I can still take this out - just 3 sweet numbers and it's 'game over.'

    Aussies share techniques to save $400 every month to combat cost of living crisis

    I could cut down on my twice/week flat white, but it's what keeps me half sane (you can judge the other half) when I am a full-time carer for my wife. When I go to the shopping centre - 4 minutes walking - I buy 2L fresh milk and 2 x 1litre long-life milk, bread, fish/chicken/veges and a treat...
