That made me really laugh out loud (and scare the sleeping cats!) because my father & husband were both mechanics & they used to make these sort of jokes all the time!

Just as well I play scrabble a lot! Rtffaq

One of the big problems with having things manufactured in non-english speaking countries! I was given a t-shirt which read 'Hippy Sovl' not that long ago ...... can't wear it in public but it makes a comfy nightie 🤣

And bringing up children in display home decor is just too sad!!

'Left over' hot cross buns is like 'left over' wine some people refer to 🤪 I have never experienced the phenomenon 🤣 I actually have frozen hot cross buns on hand most of the year because you never know when you'll feel like one 🙃

I was taught to roll them on the draining board by a chef decades ago. It breaks up the shells and they just fall off. Have never had problems peeling eggs since 😁

As I often do 🤪 I did some research online & it was very interesting! These are some links for anyone interested ..... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/17/the-science-is-in-wearing-shoes-inside-your-home-is-just-plain-gross...

We've always removed shoes before entering in our family, first because on a farm, shoes/boots & even thongs, really pick up all manner of unsavoury things. Then, it was because of cream carpet in Mum & Dad's new house, then because we had babies & toddlers ..... But, after a friend (a carpet...

Not a mud room at all by definition of purpose - it's a 'drop zone' actually.

Insanity reigns every Easter & Christmas so I always avoid going near shops just before them! But! It's always puzzled me why - with so many people buying up big 'for their visitors' - that there aren't places where no shopping happens?

I've been doing very similar for nearly 40 years but I use those wonderful little square toasts (most delis but also Coles & Woolies). Always a family favourite for parties & movie nights! So many quick & easy toppings too, my favourite is what we call 'the 3 c's' = corn relish, capsicum &...

My mum used to say "age is only important to fine wine and cheese & you're neither" ... but, personally, after one of my best friends died the year we turned 40, I've simply been grateful for every year I am still here to see our children growing up.

One very good thing I've learnt during the pandemic is that I do not need more stuff! I decluttered over & over again and reorganised by repurposing & rejuvenating. As I have no intention of putting my home on the market - or inviting Home Beautiful in to take photos - why would I want to live...

Seriously? Apple growers find the ad "humiliating' ?? Has the world gone completely insane? Obviously has if such a trivial piece of nonsense is considered newsworthy .....

Yes, all things in moderation, as my grandparents generation used to say. We've become very spoilt foodwise in the last 40 years with so much choice and variety - especially eating out! I haven't lost anywhere near as much as you, Leanneh (congratulations!) but have consistently been losing...

How fabulous! The man is obviously a skilled craftsman and is fortunate to have lots of time & money to indulge his passions. I know my late husband would have absolutely loved to do something like that.

They ARE delicious but in the same category as buying treats at a bakery or cafe - where they'd cost a lot more than just over $1 each at full price ...... 🤣 but I wonder how many of us could keep a packet in the pantry especially for a treat with visitors?

Some people like to complain - end of story. Sadly never seem to enjoy life because they are always looking for things to be upset or offended by. I used to travel extensively & noticed their demeanour often gave them away - and I learnt to avoid them too because most insist on sharing their...

It's terrible to see blatant stealing like being laughed at/admired - and others boasting about their dishonesty as well! My son once (!!) accidentally bought home a bunnings basket within a huge pile of goods. He got straight back into his car and returned it with apologies to the front desk at...

Ever since I started keeping a gold coin in the little cavity in my car door handle I haven't had a problem with any of the coin trolleys. The cavity is in my line of sight so if I want a trolley, I just scoop up a coin when I get out of the car then pop it back when I return to the car. But I...
