    Major Aussie fashion brand enters voluntary administration

    I have been a Millers and Autograph shopper for many years. Autograph used to be the place I went to for special occasion clothing.

    You can only do so much ... then give them a boot in the butt. He saved you the trouble. That was an offence to humanity. My oldest was not a butcher, but needed a roadmap to locate the laundry shute. Why do youngsters stink so much without realising it? Anyhow, I solved the smell problem by...

    Experts warn about dangerous amounts of toxic material in famous campsite

    If you ever hear about me going camping, it means I have been kidnapped and held for ransom. I am a 5 star girl. That's why I don't travel. Might happen when the windfall fairy lands. When I was growing up, most of my time was spent rambling around the bush next to our house, and, building...

    Experts expose the critical blunders you're making every day that sabotage your home's tidiness!

    Well done. I am in the midst of trying to get our Aged Care provider to do a spring clean for us. We just can't move those bulky furniture pieces, or, scale the ladders to clean windows. It sucks when the spirit is willing but the body says Peeee...off.

    New festive products hit Coles aisles this season for 2024

    All sounds nice, but it comes at a cost. I am in the IGA Xmas club, put aside some dollars every pension, get a bonus from IGA then do all my food shopping in one hit just before Xmas.
