Another truly "first world" problem and answer. I'll guarantee there are lots of Australians who need the $30 to put food on the table for their families in these desperate times. Whatever is putting crumbs in your bag would be doing much more good in the mouths of the poor.

During my birth my Mum and I almost died. The doctor told my father he couldn't save us both so Dad had to choose: baby or mother. My Dad chose Mum. He said that he knew if he had Mum they could create another baby hopefully but if he had just a baby (that he'd never met before) he didn't know...

As a Telstra customer I certainly benefit from their fraud/scam alerts both on phone calls and texts. I am always amazed at how many the service catches. It's a great refief that those alerts can allow you to block the incoming scam as well as most importantly you are able to report them to the...

My brother and sister-in-law finally went to the UK to have Christmas with their two daughters after not seeing them since 2019 due to Covid travel restrictions. My brother paid for 7 days at an AirBnB in the lakes district only to have another family of holiday makers arrive on the third day...

I think roasts are disgusting! What's entertaining about insulting people. And as for Tom Gleeson, he's just obnoxious not funny. It's even worse maligning the elderly. They cop enough abuse already.

I've always washed my sheets once a week. I grew up with a mother who put the sheets in a hot copper every Monday. Onviously I didn't do that. But bi-carb for washing is a must and vinegar in the rinse water works wonders and definitely doesn't smell unless you use too much. You only need 2...

As a disabled person who uses public transport daily I would like to point out that on my regular bus route the young people (students particularly) are always the most polite, helpful and respectful. My continuing trouble is with elderly travellers who sit in the only two wheelchair spaces on...

How utterly ridiculous. Apart from the fire risk what bothers me most is that some idiots who watch these things religiously will actually do it. Some of the crazy things that appear on social media should be completely banned, freedom of speech or not. And by the way, the very best way to cook...

If we give up eating chocolate it will just devastate the industry not help it. But we must find the companies who are investing in their producers and completely boycott all the European chocolate companies who are noted for lack of care of their producers to the point of exploitation. It will...

I taught for 26 years before being forced to retire from ill health so 17 doesn't seem many. As for the lack of a hug who cares really! I'll be interested to see who gets dumped with the job of partnering painful Karl.

My butcher places my meat on a piece of cling film to weigh it (for cleanliness reasons) it then shows itemised on the printed docket.

I have one handbag. I've had it for 5 years. Apart from the fact that I can't afford another one it serves me perfectly well.

Well done King Charles. A truly horrendous practice that should be stopped. Ban foie gras everywhere.

Old School Bags I so clearly remember my first school bag. It was very hard dark blue cardboard with two metal clasps that I could hardly get open. I almost couldn't carry it because I was so little and it was sooo big. It was not new of course. It was a "hand me down" from the lad up the...

I've always found glass jars for storing dry goods in the pantry much safer than plastic. Moccona are especially good and they often bring out special series bottles that have lovely patterns on them. There is so much you need to keep in mind to store in plastic like BPA and recycling numbers...
