    Debate Rages On Over Dumped Woolworths Trolleys - Who’s to blame?

    I remember not that long ago reading somewhere - and totally agreeing - that you can easily judge a person by their trolley manners/etiquette. Those who return trolleys to the proper bays are responsible decent people. Those who don't, aren't. Simple, isn't it? It is not Woolies responsibility...

    'Cash stuffing' is the old-school money tactic that could save you thousands. Here's how it works

    My parents used the envelope method way back when ..... it was valuable training but in today's financial environment , especially with online grocery shopping etc - it'd be a bloody nuisance to go back to using cash. For a start, it'd add a physical trip to the bank because you can't get all...

    Kmart's $35 lamp is a great dupe of the $1900 vintage original!

    Seriously? Cannot IN ANY WAY compare Murano handblown glass with cheap tacky mass produced rubbish from China !! Murano glass is a highly collectable art form for a start ...... I have some which was my Italian grandmother's and it is exquisite ❤

    'The Instagram Generation': Millennials and Gen Z spending over $100,000 on weddings. What are your thoughts?

    I watched a few episodes of 'Say yes to the dress' and was dismayed by the bridezillas (and their ghastly 'entourages') because it was blatantly obvious that - for most - the big expensive weddings are just another way to show off. All saying they are wanting to be unique but all exactly the...

    Budget-friendly design tips to make your home look more expensive!

    Yes indeedy! When this craze to live in display homes started it destroyed a lot of the individuality we used to enjoy for a start. Following current trends is one thing but the slavish addiction to what I call 'kmart styling' is another & how sad for children to have to live in places which are...

    Woolworths' new app feature makes shopping easier, quicker, and more convenient than ever before!

    Terri - I do understand the concern because of media amplifying the very rare occasions it happens but it's not a security risk if you're on top of the technology. As I've mentioned previously I am an IT geek (diploma and 20+ years experience in the field) and my son is an IT engineer at the top...

    Do you know how your pet is treated when flying? This video will shock you!

    Aside from the fact that animals have varying personalities, same as humans, which means some pets will cope with travel while others are traumatised by ..... pets don't need 'holidays' - because they don't work 🤣 However, sometimes it is necessary for pets to be transported long distances when...

    Woolworths' new app feature makes shopping easier, quicker, and more convenient than ever before!

    I hadn't thought of that! I just use her (Alexa) to play music because boy, oh boy, she is brilliant at finding obscure stuff! Sometimes I really test her with just a couple of words in lyrics & she nearly always comes through 🤣 Sometimes, too, she finds things I've never heard of and some of...

    NSW police officer intentionally hiding on busy road fines speeding drivers — sneaky or justified?

    I wish there were hundreds of marked police cars everywhere! It's the only time I see other drivers obeying road rules....... My family lost the centre of our universe in a road accident 💔. Hubby was not speeding but he's no less dead. He was an experienced driver, he drove trucks and buses. He...

    Tourist fined thousands of dollars after sneaking McMuffins into Australia amid foot-and-mouth disease scare

    Got me beat why anyone would need or want to 'smuggle' in McDonald's..... I can understand buying breakfast in Bali but why not eat it while it was hot? That's what most people who dont like airline food do ..... and it's almost a 3 hour flight between there & Darwin ..... did the backpacker...
