I‘ll be giving this a go.

It’s part of the costs that businesses have to undertake in order to run their business, in the same way as they need a phone line, the internet, cash register, counters, stock, furniture, display racks, electricity . . . the list goes on. I don’t expect to pay for an extra item on my bill to...

Not everyone has the luxury of having a bank close by, especially if you live in the country.

At last - a daily joke that’s actually funny! 🤣

I saw an article recently about $50 in cash kept in circulation keeping its value, whereas $50 spend by card keeps losing its value because of transaction fees. It put the question of cash v card in perspective. I wish I could find it again. 🤣

I think I’m getting worse! I used to think I was pretty good at trivia, but these questions are very humbling, 🤣

This was one of the first things I learned to cook, and is still a favourite for a quick Sunday evening meal. My technique for the sauce is to mix the flour with the cheeses in a saucepan, then stir in the milk gradually over a medium heat, along with a knob of butter. Quicker, and no lumps ever.

I don’t think it would cross my mind to call the fire brigade for a dog being stuck somewhere in the house. However, when my son was three he put his head through the railings of a friend’s verandah and couldn‘t get it out again. The fire brigade were doing some training nearby so they came...

I used to shop in the children’s department in the UK in the early 70’s. Apparently there was less tax on children‘s clothing so it was cheaper. Shops often have the same style in both the adults’ and the children’s departments.

Oh, that clears up my confusion. And yes, I so agree with you about MAFS. There’s been so much rubbishy reality tv on in recent years.

Oh, sorry, I just scrolled right back and saw there were others mentioned before. I still don’t know which show you’re talking about, though.
