    I am in the situation where two of my children have not been included in my will. The clause has been legally worded such to show that they are not a pat of my life and have no claim on my estate. I won’t go into the personal aspects of my will but suffice it to say that from a young age one...

    Shopper sparks debate: Are self-checkout security measures going too far?

    I definitely have had enough of the woolies self serve. They constantly make mistakes and I have not been through once in the last few months without having to wait for a staff member for some non event. The whole idea of it making this easier and more convenient for shoppers is a bit of a...

    I was also surprised to see that price. Last time I bought a cream cheese block at Aldi it was only around $5-$6. Way cheaper than the other supermarkets though on that item.

    Mum reveals ‘no folding’ laundry hack - genius or just lazy?

    Well I’m a person who does NOT enjoy ironing so to me I find folding or rolling up the washing straight off the line alleviates the need to iron in most cases so I’m a fan. I often use a tv show or music while doing it.

    I think in many ways this country is just dumping its aged in a place to die. My mother in law was in a facility where she just sat in her bed all day.

    What a wonderful cause. About time someone pushed the government to do something positive and caring for the aged. I know I would be devastated if I did not have my dog to love and be loved by.

    See the detail in Woolworths' new displays that has shoppers up in arms - Is it ageist?

    I wholeheartedly agree that these would be difficult to read. And freeing up staff for faster more efficient service or cutting back on staff 🤔
