    What is the most unforgettable story from your school days?

    No, she's not very technical and hasn't mastered social media, plus where she lives the internet is very iffy. ;)

    What is the most unforgettable story from your school days?

    I met my lifelong best friend on the first day of High School. We had moved house during the holidays and I didn't know a soul at my new school, all of the others had come on mass from the local Primary. Rosie and I were inseparable throughout the school years and it was a rare sight to see just...

    Aussies could be owed a share of $1.5 billion in 'lost' money – here's how to claim it!

    I would suggest that with that attitude SDC is not the site for you. Those so called "crappy google ads" are what entitles us to have a fee free daily newsletter. Those lovely people at SDC need to get paid for their time and effort on our behalf and the inclusion of the ads means they can...

    New findings behind 152 koalas tragically killed on private property

    Koalas versus Profit, no contest if you ask Alcoa. :mad: All these mega companies that rape our environment should be made to pay millions into a fund to help the flora and fauna in those areas. What will be their response as the last koala draws its last breath, I suppose even then it won't...

    Will the upcoming Buy Now Pay Later regulations affect your favourite payment options?

    I would respectfully suggest that if the lady in the article swiftly found herself owing $22,000 then BNPL is not helping her, she is not managing her money. Even though it can be embarrassing she would be far better served using foodbank and affiliated groups to help, that is what they are...

    Grocery price shock: Australians paying more than ever for weekly shopping essentials

    Recently when Woolies sent me a deal if I spent $180 in one shop I partnered with another household to get the total up there. It worked, we both got what we wanted, all shopped from "specials", delivered to me for free and each saved an extra $5 on out purchases. Small bickkies maybe but it all...

    Is going cashless taking away your freedom? Find out how businesses face consumer boycotts

    It's years since I used cash, I have one $50 note in my wallet for emergencies but it's been there for more than 5 years. I put absolutely everything on my credit card and then pay it off in total once a month. That way I avoid any bank fees or credit charges. I have not paid the bank one cent...

    Have the best sleep of your life with 55% off Emma Sleep's Limited Sale – Grab it now!

    All well and good, but any mattress with foam or memory foam inside can't be used with an electric blanket. Memory foam is activated by body heat so an electric blanket sends it crazy! I have trudged from store to store to find a suitable mattress as I need the heat to ease health problems and...

    This Woolworths store installed 500 tiny cameras for a surprising reason

    What a load of rot Woolies are spouting. They already have real time knowledge of stocked items via the checkout. They know how many of an item is on the shelf and know via the checkouts how many have been sold and if they don't know how to take one figure from the other I'll go and teach them...

    Young Aussies may bear the burden of new levy for the ageing population: What does it mean for your grandchildren?

    We have to firstly make the decision of who is responsible for the care of older Australians. If it is the Government they really need to take a long, hard look at themselves. If it is family then they need to make it clear. It seems to me that most problems can be solved in one of two ways...

    Aussie receives '$16 meal voucher' after horrific bus crash abroad

    Sad that we read this article on a day when 10 people died in a bus crash here in NSW, and 25 have been taken to hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with them. 😟

    Kmart shoppers rave about a $30 alternative to a $610 kitchen ‘must-have’

    I gave all my cast iron pots and dishes to my son as they were too heavy for me to handle safely when they were full of food. He is currently reaping all the benefits!

    This Aussie dumpster diver has a secret to scoring free meals

    My husband years ago was the manager of Peters Bakery in WA, making pies, sausage rolls etc. They often had mis-shapes and stuff that for one reason or another wasn't quite up to scratch. He spent the whole of two days phoning round every charity in Perth offering them for free, all they would...

    How a kind act by tradies saved a Holocaust survivor from homelessness

    Not all heroes wear capes but what a dire indictment on our Government when people have to resort to the generosity of others {in these tough times) to make ends meet. How sad is it that we can look good to the rest of the world with our openhandedness and yet not look after our own. 😟
