I like my Nice biscuits and have one with my morning tea each day. I have missed them the last few weeks. Though they do not taste the same as they did years ago. When the Arnotts factory moved years ago to new modern premises, it also changed the quality of their products. They are just the not...

I have always indicated when exiting the round-about. I see that not many do and sometimes have been made to feel stupid. Good reminder and satisfying to think I have been doing the right thing all this time. Round-abouts were not a thing when I first started driving many, many years ago.

Have bought many books from them, as most of the bookstores around our area no longer are there. Have always found I can get what I want at a good price and delivery was always very quick. Hope the same process is as efficient if not even better.

We were lucky with my parents, that we were able to get them into a wonderful home for the last years of their lives and the care was perfect. It was ten years ago and quality of homes was very different. With my mother-in-law, we kept her at home with us because we found that the same quality...

I do this often, getting rid of small change in my wallet. Most times I get it handed back saying that I have paid too much. Trying to explain, the shop assistant becomes confused and has no idea and has to get the supervisor to help, even they become confused. Young people have no idea about...

Parking has become a real problem in most places. Our next door neighbours have five cars plus a boat that sits out on the roadway outside their home taking up two parking spaces. They do not use their garage and have taken over the front of our home. Their rubbish bins sit outside our place...

We live in a bush area. Have seen a few snakes around recently on sunny days on my daily walks. It is unusual for this time of year. You need to have your wits about you and watch out and don't panic but walk around and away from them.

If this occurs it will be like the 'Bunnings' take over pushing the little guys (hardware shops) out of the market because they can not compete with the size and power of Bunnings. The take overs take away our choice. It has happened with the two large supermarket companies too. Look at where we...

I remember going to the Coles cafeteria, (similar to the Woolworths one in the story) every school holidays our mum would take us for a day shopping for new clothes and other things and the treat always was to have lunch in the cafeteria at Coles. It was always so busy. Simple pleasures like...

We tend to buy when things are on special which works in a four to six week cycle so we save this way. Our pet insurance (with Woolworths) was the best that we could find, both in price and what it contained for claims and gives 10% off each month which we use for our big shop. We buy some...

I had one the other day. Was $5.00 but a bit disappointed. A little stringy chicken and lots of gravy. Nothing like the one in the advertisement. Won't be purchasing again. as it was not as nice as it looked in the ad.

It's a sad state of affairs that companies have to go to these measures to protect staff against abusive and violent customers. We need to look more at how we stop this aggressive attitude and hate toward one another and how we can get back the pleasant approachable habits that once existed. It...

I try to look at the positive that they did not discontinue making the Cherry Ripe as they did to my favourite little treat of (Fantails from Allens). Still miss these and crave for them. Things are just not the same any more.

Our 17 year old Pomeranian loved his walks however, it got to a stage he could no longer walk very far as much as he would have liked to. We purchased a four wheel trolley cart from Bunnings which he loved to go for walks in during his last few months. Would have loved to have the K-Mart...

Still got some of mine. I also have pieces of my mother's and father's. I bought some over the years for my nieces and nephews when they were born, but they were not the same, made of plastic and bamboo. and not the same bone china as the old ones. Reminiscing reminds me of a happy time as a kid.

My mum always insisted that we have a hanky in our pocket at all times and would wash heaps each week after they were soaked in a small bucket with disinfectant and nappy-san. They would be all neatly ironed and folded (just like in the picture). I still today ( and since I left home at 21) do...

This will spell the end of the local pharmacy to the big one brand warehouse with little customer care. It will be like how Bunnings took over hardware and priced the local family operated store out of business. We also know what groceries are like with the two big players of Coles and...

I feel for Michelle and send her positive thoughts of recovery. I was diagnosed with the same seven and a half years ago. I had got to the stage where I had no immune system and picked up an infection that went to my spine. I collapsed and rushed to hospital, this was the sign of something very...

Cash is disappearing. I had my car with a major service the other day. Only method of payment now at the dealership is card only, no other option. Was hit with a $13.00 fee to go with the high bill, taken from my savings account. Our choices and options are being taken from us and it is not just...

Responsible move. I hope that they do not reduce size and shrink and make other hidden changes. One thing though, I want my Fantales back!
