    Mum's ALDI-cious meal planning and budget-friendly feasts leave more dough in wallets!

    Just an add-on to the above. I use empty yogurt containers for celery, lettuce, spring onions. They are air tight and the contents keep for weeks. A bit of paper towel at the top helps too.

    Identifying AI made easier: Meta rolls out new measures for AI-generated tools

    I am 77 and have always loved technology. I recently did a survey and for a reward I got some virtual reality glasses. Still to try them out. The new AI technology is excellent for creating art. An example below shows what is possible with a simple prompt.

    It's the end of an era: beloved Aussie company behind iconic invention faces administration

    I worked for Hills Telefix in Adelaide in the 1960's and this was a division of the Hills group of companies. It was very busy there on the switchboard all the time as people wanted their televisions repaired. The repairmen went to the house to fix tv sets. These days it's not worth repairing...

    The new lifestyle trend taking over Australia

    Van life is not for everyone. I had a motorhome for a while but found it too big to handle and also no fun if you are travelling on your own. If I ever get another campervan it will be one similar to the picture above and able to be used as an everyday vehicle.

    2023 SDC Bingo: Predictions

    An end to RAT testing. Sources say Co-vid has now officially been announced as the new "common cold" and therefore there will be no need for isolation, vaccination or testing. Wouldn't it be lovely.

    ‘Are we turning into America?’ Aussies share their thoughts as more and more GPs steer away from bulk-billing

    I am also irate at this gap cost for elderly and on principle will not be going to the doc unless I have some dire illness. I will probably go to emergency at the hospital instead, it costs about the same in this regional area. For the last few years my local doctor clinic has been requiring me...

    Retirees are outraged by new changes that could leave them without enough income

    I agree with you about the NDIS charging rates. I know someone with no aged care qualifications, just an abn and police check etc. who gets $60 an hour for taking people on outings. Totally unfair on those who have studied to get where they are.

    Mum's unusual Aussie food combo goes viral – would you give it a, um… go?

    Give salt & vinegar chips a wiz in the blender and they are great as a coating for chicken legs or schnitzels. NOT ON FINGER BUNS THOUGH. Couldn't imagine anything worse!
