    This talented mum made a gorgeous $5 Kmart dress for her daughter out of an unlikely material - you won't believe what it is!

    Absolutely gorgeous! Such a lucky girl to know how to sew! All should be taught this during art! It is vital that sewing is taught in schools again, along with Domestic Science so our young one learn how to survive in our changing world. That includes boys as well as girls ++

    This 'fancy' sausage sizzle menu item at a Melbourne school is going viral

    Surprised they were allowed to get away with this in the Nanny State - multiple Food regulations and laws were broken : OH&S, Food Safety, Food Service, Food Storage, Food Handling, Food Transport, Food Preparation, all being done by UNQUALIFIED persons, in UNCERTIFIED PREMISES. Without...

    There are a few stores still accepting limited quantities )using the REDcycle bins), bcz REPLAS in Carrum Downs still processes soft plastics into useful products. It was not all done by this RED mob! Ring REPLAS and ask them for drop off places.

    ALDI's New Christmas Turkey Nuggets Will Make Your Holiday Meal Even More Fun!

    My Christmas meal last year was Cruskits and some cheese. This year it may be Cruskits with Vegemite. Being and living totally alone is not fab on ‘special’ days, and there’s nothing you can do about it, except be glad you are not driving in heavy traffic.

    ALDI's New Christmas Turkey Nuggets Will Make Your Holiday Meal Even More Fun!

    All depends on the amount of meat in them! Will NOT buy these in Turkey, Chicken, or Fish if there is less than 51% meat content. Less than 51% means you are buying fillers = junk! Better to buy mince, add own flavours & spices, then gently roll out and use shape-cutters to make yr own that...

    Shopper furious after the price of a popular milk 'suddenly' jumps to $9.80

    The cost of diesel fuel has increased massively. Just think of your own petrol cost increases, then put two more zero’s on that cost for the poor truckies who have to fill up. Their vehicles take 1000 litres, not 60-70 litres. This is why costs must increase! Gas increases will push Toilet...

    The amount of poppy seeds to be consumed in one day to achieve a drug high is between 500gm - 60,000gm in one day and within 24 hours of drug test. That is just eating poppyseeds. I loved poppyseeds on fresh white bread w butter! As for drinking poppyseed tea - only a lunatic would want to do...

    Get rid of those pesky mattress stains with this unlikely $4.75 hack

    WHY are all mattress tops white now? Return to the coloured, patterned fabric, please🙏🏻. While I’m at it - With all the technology available now, why are mattresses so heavy that they cannot be lifted to change sheets?

    Aussie mum swears by this cleaning product as her ‘secret weapon’ – but not everyone is convinced

    My mum used METHO to clean bath, basins, toilet seats, etc. One bottle of METHO lasts flamin’ ages and it is a great use for old T-shirts as the soft cloth. Super clean, no scratches, tiny cost, so simple.

    If the government is offering FREE change-over of Gas to Electric HWS, for pensioners, WHY is the government IGNORING pensioners in flats whose HWS lives in the cupboard under the sink? That is where most HWS live if the property was built before 1983. Mine was built 1964-65, therefore lives...

    Starting next week, you could be fined $660 for this simple supermarket trolley act

    Supermarkets used to promote they would give you a small $reward for advising them where ‘stray’ trolleys were located - at stations, on naturestrips, in parks, by the beach, behind flats etc. Every time I rang and reported these MIA trolleys, I’ve never received anything, and it took the...
