    Natalie Barr’s sudden disappearance from Sunrise: Fill-in presenter reveals the reason

    I would love a holiday on Cable Beach and ride the camels along the beach. I looked into it once when I lived in WA. The price was so prohibitive even back then, It was cheaper to go to Bali for a MONTH than go to Cable Beach for a week which is crazy. In the end I did neither, I went to...

    Are you paying too much? Energy prices surge hits millions of Aussies

    What bugs me is that I had a two year contract with Origin, due to expire in Feb '24. Apparently it's not worth the paper it's written on as Origin have sent me a letter telling me that my prices have gone up on July 1st '23. Why do we bother, these companies can, it would seem, move the...

    New Energy Relief Plan: 9,000+ Households Due For Extra Power Credit!

    I have had mine for 4 years and haven't had to do any maintenance. They do say that the panels need a wash down every year but hey, I reckon a good rain downpour does a similar job for free! If you have a solar water system then I do know that there is a sacrificial anode in the tank that has to...

    New Energy Relief Plan: 9,000+ Households Due For Extra Power Credit!

    I got my solar panels through Origin energy. I don't know if they still have the same scheme but I bought them interest free over three years. I was advised not to put specialised solar water panels as they were not the best use of the roof space, if you use the space for extra solar panels...

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    We are currently trying to get my husband a debit card on our joint account. It's proving to be bigger than Ben Hur. We have all the necessaries to prove his ID but because we can't remember where we opened the account (some 40 odd years ago), it could be one of two branches, they say we have to...

    Australians hit $70 billion in personal debt: How the cost of living crisis could affect you

    All I can say is that someone else has my supposedly debt level. I don't owe anyone anything, in fact I got my credit card statement the other day and I had overpaid last month so am in credit this month.

    Australians hit $70 billion in personal debt: How the cost of living crisis could affect you

    Might I just mention that if we didn't have these "scammy ads" we may not have a newsletter at all. It is the revenue from these ads that allow the lovely people at SDC to continue to provide such a service to us. Whether you take any notice of the ads, or click on them is entirely up to you...

    Wild footage as rogue robot camera hilariously upstages ABC weather presenter

    This is my son and it's not the first time that robot cameras have gone rogue and tried to take over his weather segment. Starting your working day at 3am you have to have a good sense of humour and he's pretty laid back so is able to take it all in his stride. :)
