    DIYer's fluffy stool project draws mixed reactions from fellow Kmart shoppers – is it worth a try?

    Hate fluffy furniture too , deserves the pillows out of sight !!!! That stool could have been stained darker to what it is, and a lovely old ornate shelf put through the openings to make a smart shelf to it. Not sure how tall they are, but would make a nice pair of bed sidetables. On the shelf...

    DIYer's fluffy stool project draws mixed reactions from fellow Kmart shoppers – is it worth a try?

Give them a really good clean, and brick a natural stain, with a lovely thick raw, but stained, wooden top. I am going to do this to see what it turns out like, so will...

    DIYer's fluffy stool project draws mixed reactions from fellow Kmart shoppers – is it worth a try?

    Most influencers say they have come across a fantastic new idea, but it is usually a common idea women in the household have been using since 1920 !!! I am sure they look at old ideas around the house, courtesy of old books found in op shops , library put a small new spin on it and the "Wow...

He is 96% fine, but its a form of severe concussion . Molly has many minders...

    Shocking spike in cruel new Google scam cases – don't become the next victim!

    Surely you would want to meet the dog first to see if you like it, pictures do lie about height ect. Plus the temperament of the pet surely comes in first when buying especially with kids, the dog would have to love kids. Common sense people, I know we live busy lives, but time out for this...

    Say Goodbye to Third Party Debt Collectors: Centrelink Takes Control with Major Overhaul!

    Centrelink will not do anything much over the counter anymore, relying on Mygov more and more. My partner just on Jobseeker was not getting rent relief so we took the rental form into Centrelink. No, they would not photocopy it or anything, and told us to go home and upload it on his MyGov...

    Vicks VapoRub

    I did this to my grand daughter when she was 2. It did work, stopped coughing during night, but it was hard to put on as it tickled her feet, and we were both laughing in the end. Dab a bit on the pillow too, helps with breathing at night. Love Vicks !!!!

    This sneaky delivery scam email is tricking Australia Post customers – Can you spot the difference?

    I guess they sent countless of these out as they would know at least some people would be expecting parcels and Australia Post is the main carrier in Australia. I have received at least 4 of these but luckily no parcels due.
