My late Mum started collecting things for me when I was in high school and we had a dedicated large section of a wardrobe to store them. Not only linen but things like glasses, casserole dishes, cutlery, saucepans. It was a good way to start out being independent when I moved away from home...

Using cash is fine but when large organisations like Suncorp Stadium are card only you either go that way or miss out on seeing your favourite team, artist etc.

My older brother insisted on drying the dishes and so I washed them.. He delighted in yelling "reject!" if there was a tiny bit of food left on a plate. I hated washing up!

We need a new mattress to help my husband's lifelong pain from his disability and my back and joint pain. Thanks Ergoflex!

Yes we called it 2 ball and did all sorts of tricks. We also had the skipping rope games and we loved playing Jacks or knuckle bones depending on which one you had. Lots of fun, cheap and available to everyone. I think we used our imagination much more then and made up lots of variations of...

And his sidekick Thin Arthur!

Lex Marinos in his role as Bruno the son in law was always being accused of dropping purple Valiant rust in Ted Bullpitt's driveway! And he was always told to "leave the money on the fridge" when Ted offered him a beer. Great show.

Prince Harry and his wife chose to step away from the Royal family but have spent the last while complaining about how difficult everything is. It seems they want their life of privilege but don't wish to work hard or adopt a less lavish lifestyle. It is hard for most ordinary people to really...

"Here we are the laughing gnomes helping others in their homes! " So went one of the songs at the start of each meeting.

My husband has a Level 3 Home Care package which he received 2 years ago after waiting 12 months at that stage. He is wheelchair dependent and I am the 24 hour carer. We receive help with lawn mowing, cleaning and currently physio as well as equipment costs such as power chair, shower commode...

I really hate the punitive manner in which we the public are dealt with - in person or by letter where the tone is you must be a crook trying to defraud the Commonwealth. Sure there would be a few but the majority of people are just trying to deal honestly to receive financial help that they...

My big brother and I built various models - he was a very good carpenter - the biggest difficulty was finding enough wood and wheels. We had great fun, no major injuries and kept out of Mum's hair for a while. Kids these days do miss out on outdoor fun.

The actual rises don't get paid until 20 September.

AGL have always been difficult to deal with. Years ago when we were working we did not receive a power bill for months even though we reminded them. Of course when it came it was much more than usual for that period and with a lot of toing and froing we finally worked out a repayment plan...

Alice in Wonderland was my very favourite as a young child. I loved the part where she changed into a bigger and smaller person!

I wholeheartedly agree having gone through cancer myself and other family members. Being Royal does not exempt you from all the treatment and side effects including fatigue. I am sure the last thing she feels like is walking around talking to people she doesn't know during public appearances...

Thunderbirds - way ahead of its time in terms of animation and making the characters seem so real. My brother and I also loved the old Popeye cartoons.

They really were one of the most delicious mint chocolates. Miss them.
