    Mum-of-two says it's not "selfish" to bulk-buy marked-down groceries: "They are wise"

    So what exactly is 'the one thing' the critics of the selfish people are ignoring ??? When that woman says 'shoppers should not be chastised for taking advantage of markdown deals when they are available' she actually offers no excuse for the selfishness at all. Is she saying other people...

    Clip of a nine year old girl passing out next to her father while on a slingshot ride trends and leaves thousands in fits of laughter

    Very brave little one! And a great dad! I stopped going on such rides after my sister recited the lords prayer - at the top of her voice! - on the bush beast at Australia's Wonderland back in the 70s 🤣🤣

    One Australian state’s major ingredient shift to Bunnings’ sausage sizzle sparked a fiery debate among users – which side are YOU on?

    Definitely bread for me ! Not only cheaper than rolls & less bread so healthier but also easier to prepare because buns need to be cut open, don't they? Right now though, I'm just glad today is Friday which means I can go to Bunnings tomorrow 🤣

    Can you guess which tattoos are the biggest regrets?

    Wow Ricci - we are alike ! I marked turning 60 by getting a small tattoo to remind me of pretty much the same thing - but mine is a triangle which I designed. My adult children later both got the same tattoo so it's very special to us. I'd never get another one though !! I'm not super sensitive...

    “How much did you spend on your wedding?” Social media users weigh in on the costs of wedding preparations and ceremonies

    So much emphasis is put on the wedding day now that it simply sets most people up for disappointment ! - especially all the pressure to keep up with the Joneses/follow current trends/do something really different etc....... plus all for show weddings really miss the point so it's no coincidence...

    Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Here's what it says about you!

    A person once told me that I have too many books!! Well, I was shocked! Horrified in fact! How can anyone have too many books? There is nothing better to collect (IMHO anyway) ...... I am never without something to read, some I read more than once, some I have read annually for the past 55...

    Kids in cars

    As a child & teenager I rode unrestrained in backs of utes & station wagons endlessly & even when my own kids were little we used to put the pram into our van with child in it and just hold on to the handle ..... and it wasn't that we didn't have high powered vehicles - Grandfather, Dad & hubby...

    Woolworths customer’s ‘fashion choice’ leaves employee DISGUSTED – What do YOU think?

    That Woolworths employee needs some very quick counselling!! Employees don't get to make up rules based on their own narrow and prejudiced opinions & most definitely should not be shaming customers publicly. At first I thought it was a joke because it's perfectly normal to wear thongs with any...

It's so clever & good clean entertainment 😁 I started watching it with my 2 year old granddaughter & have now got my family & many friends similarly hooked...

    Mum's horror goes viral after her little girl draws all over a friend's couch with a permanent marker

    When it was my own couch I was happy to experiment at ways to get it off but if one of my littlies had done that to someone else's (thankfully they didn't) I'd have organised professional cleaning to save the friendship.....simple.

    10 things you should never put in your dishwasher if you want it to last

    They are mostly just ridiculous 'rules' - why would anyone bother having a dishwasher if that was really the case? All those things get washed in dishwashers in hospitality.... dishwashers were invented for pots & pans in particular and glassware is actually less likely to get damaged in...

    Vets warn pet owners to watch for arthritis this winter

    There is a safe, and economical to run, electric heating pad which vet clinics have been using for decades .... it called a Passwell Cosy Heat Pad. They retail for around $100 and last forever. We've got several pads which are more than 20 years old now and in constant use for sick, injured &...

    Oh goodness! This isn't a new thing for heavens sake! Those of us who grew up eating prawns by the bucket load have been doing this for decades ....... bahahahaha! Next thing you know someone will reinvent the wheel 🤣
