Great. Now I just have to hope they get stocks of Bar Keepers Friend in at a Bunnings near me. Have been trying to buy some for about 4 months and nobody has it.

Sweet potato, potato, broccoli, carrot, cabbage, peas, cauliflower, beetroot. Anything stirfried In addition I love salads. looks like I’m doing OK.

I avoid self serve like the plague. Being in a mobility scooter I find them almost impossible to handle and I don’t use card. I find it much more convenient to be able to go through the normal checkout. I always pay by cash too and frequently have to go into the local Supermarket to grab the...

I always carry a small container of stainless steel ”straws” in my bag. Hate the feel of the paper ones on my lips - akin to nails on a blackboard. Plastics being used for carrying bags - why? There are lots of ladies busy making and selling cotton shopping bags for charity. These are a much...
