Mine is a weird one ..... a decade or two ago, we had the joy of hosting an Italian exchange student for the 6 months which included the festive season. Oh boy! Did it rejuvenate Christmas for our family! It is hard to pick a favourite from our memories of her joy at decorated shops (shopping...

Well, I agree with you ! Garbage gossip from the gutter press has absolutely nothing to do with discounts for seniors - that is a fact! but it seems some of us enjoy being able to say how disgusted we are about things sometimes 😂 ? I know I do, especially on rainy miserable days 🤣 I have...

I wasn't going to comment but glad you corrected that! I spat coffee everywhere at the thought of so much bra burning going on that it upset the neighbours 🤣

There are those who return shopping trolleys & those who don't - and it always says a lot about a person in my experience.

Let's take a step back and employ one ounce of common sense here!! 99% of transactions on market place & ebay are okay. Some are even brilliant (have made new friends this way) some are entertaining (like the lady who bought a coffee maker off me but bought it back to have lessons)and some...

Indeed! Teaching lack of table manners, beyond lazy and very wasteful..... not only is the art of polite mealtime conversation/small talk being lost but now feeding like pigs at a trough is being boasted about? When I was growing up, few people had automatic dishwashers - or rather, as my dad...

I don't use TikTok, and, in fact - I strongly dislike the lecturing, boasting & so-called 'influencing' which that platform encourages. In this particular instance - sadly bought to our attention - it seems that yet another person does not understand her employment in a service industry means...

The onus should not be on those who were fleeced to seek refunds!

Many years ago, we bought exactly the same dining suite which HN were selling for half their price a few doors down at Focus On Furniture ..... always pays to shop around. While I've always found HN over priced - even with their so-called specials - I like to wander through occasionally 🤣

I don't see why it matters when we 'fill up' - or spend any money really - with all the ridiculously inflated and erratic prices these days. As far as petrol is concerned, more depends on how much we drive as to how often we need to refuel....... media exhortations to fill up just cause panic...

Hi JayKay Similar story for me. I can't get past my past & so few understand.....

I just play music constantly 🤣 All kinds of music, in all weather & at all times of the day or night ...... As Shakespeare said 'If music be the food of love play on ...... '

Decades ago, after a devastating loss, I was given advice that not only saved my sanity then but has kept me going ever since ..... 'It all comes down to one little letter - you can let this make you bitter or better'

Why even validate the whinger by repeating her nonsense? Stop giving these inane attention-seeking uneducated people any attention & maybe they'll go away .......

Sooooo many 'experts' these days! It's quite exhausting trying to keep up with all the panic merchants who seem to be able to express their opinion as fact with social media publicity ...... no properly researched & published findings required? As others have already said, we grew up using...

And looking at the other side of things ..... exactly who is it that the government thinks will buy all the old, and so often million dollar, properties? Every young person I know wants to build their own house so they can "have exactly what I want" and don’t forget the grants for new builds are...

'Australians are resorting to stealing to survive' ? 'Some consumers struggle to pay for essentials' & 'the typical shopper spends $526.86 a month on groceries' ........ all of those statements are garbage!! Firstly, Australians (!!) are NOT stealing - it's only dishonest people who steal...

My fabulous technician told me years ago, except in hard water/bore water areas, we're using far more than is needed in the tablets & that half a tablet is more than enough except for real heavy pots & pans loads ..... and so I cut up a few. He was right so I went back to using powder for many...

Indeed! And I simply cannot remember ever having taken a photo of mine - nor have I ever inspected anyone else's pantry 😆 Hopefully the insane trend of sharing such totally irrelevant private matters will soon become unfashionable!

Maybe with the egg shortage the usual process of removing the odd bods was ignored? Seems odd to get 3 in one carton but (as others have said) when you’ve got your own chooks you regularly get less than perfect eggs but they are - and taste - fine. My kids used to argue about whose turn it was...
