I buy birthday cards each month to send to my friends and family. This exercise can take me some time as I like to choose the card appropriate for that person. I am lucky that the cost for concessional stamps is very reasonable. There is nothing nicer than receiving a hand picked card from my...

When I worked in a hospital, all chemicals/products needed a safety sheet about them. It is too long ago for me to remember the name of the program that we looked up to identify the product. Hence if a product was used we needed to have all information about it. I do however remember...

"If the DES scandal has taught us anything, it’s the importance of staying informed about what we’re putting into our bodies, especially when it comes to medications that claim to improve our quality of life" as stated from your information above. Unfortunately, the Pharmaceutical companies...

In the letter to the Editor in one of the papers this week, the reader stated that if Australia could reach net zero tomorrow, it would not affect world emissions or climate change one iota. Hence presently, we are paying far more than is necessary for this energy. Money is just bring...

I am not impressed by the extra charges that Specialists charge. My husband's last trip to the Dermatologist cost $284.40 above the scheduled fee. However to top it all off, the clinic also charged $45.65 which was a 5% Practice Administration Fee. The clinic put the claim directly to...

When I receive a scam to my mobile phone via a text message, I delete it immediately and report it as Spam. Just wondering, what happens to all those emails we send reporting Spam. Does anyone ever do anything about them?

I am not offended. Thank you for your reply. I own a Vespa which is a motor scooter which I have had since 1969.

I think you are a bit muddled. Maggie96 is the person who lost all that weight. Vespa Girl is the one who is unwell and follows a strict diet. I do thank you for your kind words.

I am happy for my children who all have their own homes. As to a self-funded retiree, it will be interesting to see how much less we will receive in interest from our investments. I wonder whether lowering the interest rate will mean that some people will be able to borrow more and the price...

I keep my weight down as I have a chronic lung condition. I am gluten intolerant so that means I need to be careful. However I believe the secret to keeping weight down is not to eat "white stuff" That means flour products, sugar products and minimising potato intake. Eat whole foods and...

We changed from Telstra to Aldi a few years ago. Optus was not reliable in our area. Needless to say, Aldi has been marvellous. After buying the sim card from Aldi, it was all transferred on the same day. We have our same telephone numbers.

Congratulations. Well done.

Just noted that 1 MMR vaccine obviously did not work and now they are giving two. It really is time that a study was done between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. They won't allow this to happen more the pity.

I agree with you. I would hate to see the interest charged on their credit cards that will need to be paid back. Budgeting should be taught as a subject at school. It is impossible to know how much you need on a weekly basis if you don't know how much your expenses are.

We lived on a main road and this would happen to us frequently. This was over 40 years ago now. We did stop it by writing in lipstick on the windscreen of the car "Please do not park here". I guess it was vandalism but no harm was done. It is very difficult to get lipstick off as it smears...
