My Mum made the best savoury mince with vegetables and Dad was a winner with the best roast dinner and lots of vegetables and York shire pudding if it was roast beef.

Your wedding or not should be what you the couple involved want it to be. Venue, costs, clothing, reception etc are all individual choices. A lavish wedding always brings out those who are a teeny bit jealous of the extravagance. Having gone to a few weddings over the years I can still say...

My daughter worked at McDonalds when she was in high school and she said staff were often coming in late or not turning up at all. This meant the remaining staff were run off their feet as teenagers are not keen on coming in on a Friday or Saturday night when they would rather go out. I do...

Step on a crack and break your back. You needed to avoid all the cracks or lines in the footpath!

We were completely mesmerised watching a little white puck bounce from one side of the screen to the other and trying to outwit it! Almost as good as our first look at black and white tv on a 10 inch screen!

Great song- they only had 2 hits in Australia according to The Book-which is packed with Top 40 information about songs, artists and how they placed on the charts. Katrina & The Waves other hit was a song called Do You Want Crying.

What happened to great Australians helping their fellow folk who need a bit of a hand without councils blocking everything possible. This council needs dissolving ASAP.

I used to love browsing through Copperart as they had pretty and stylish things which were also reasonably priced.

When I was a young child our next door neighbour used to pay us one penny to catch these butterflies so they didn't eat the cabbages in the vegie garden. We weren't very good at it!

The sad thing with all this wrangling over costs is that the people the NDIS is there to help are often the ones missing out on the care they need. I worked in community health and hospitals for many years and the cost of transport was always a problem. Surely there is someone out there who...

I also love jigsaws and am having fun with 1000 piece ones. Have found quite a few at op shops - some brand new and so far all pieces there in those which have been opened.
