The parenting of many children in society (or lack of it) leaves a lot to be desired. You see it every day when you are out and about. Parents pushing toddlers in prams; they have their heads buries in their phones; the child tries to get their attention...gets told to shush etc or even...

There are no words to describe how I feel. If ever you needed evidence that society has well and truly disintegrated this is another example. We hear something every day along similar lines. So glad I grew up in the era I did and my days on this earth are numbered.

Just went back and found out that in the 1980's it was mainly public servants who had to pay into super. I was one of them and many people grumbled about having to do so. Now I realise it was the best thing for me as well as my husband. I think we had to pay in 6% at the time(this is my...

Hubby likes the Aldi ginger biscuits Were $1.69.....now $2.69....now that IS a price increase. Seems to me that some prices go up a lot and other not that much no matter where you shop.

I have been left shaking my head over a post on my facebook local community page. This single mother has paid four payments to someone she has never met to buy a car she has never seen apart from a photo. She just paid the last payment and of course the person has now deleted everything...

Do nothing!

This reminded me of when I arrived in Columba in the early hours travelling on my own. It was over 40 years ago. Taxi driver took me to my hotel where I was informed there was no booking although I had booked it in South Africa prior to getting the flight. All worked out as the hotel managed...

As a once a day coffee girl that all sounds too darn hard for me :)

Six months ago I had a lady from the term deposit section of my bank ring. She wanted to discuss the deposit. I said to her "I do not know if you are who you say you are so I am going to hang up and I will ring the bank myself and get through to the term deposit section". She was very...

Cheque books are on way out! I do internet banking on my computer and that is fine and I use Paypal for my online purchases. Never had a problem. I do not intend having any financial apps on my phone.

Every time I do a transaction or pay a bill online my bank sends me a text message as well as an email to let me know the payment has gone through and if it was not me doing the payment to get in touch. I have no complaint with my bank. They also sent out an email telling me what to look out...

If you want a block of chocolate buy from Aldi!

A week ago I saw Boxing Day sale signs in a kitchen store and a bedding store. Could not believe it. We have not had Christmas Day yet and they are selling all this already. I am so over all this commercialism. Thankfully we are at that stage in life where we do not buy presents for each...

Sadly because of so many scams being perpetrated I would be on my guard if it was me!

So despite being aware of scams she obviously handed over the information asked for and only afterwards did she ring the bank. I honestly have no sympathy any more. The banks say time and time again they do not ask for your pin number etc. When are people going to use the commonsense they...

False advertising gets a huge fine. "Making false or misleading representations is an offence. The maximum criminal penalty is $500,000 for an individual and $10 million for a body corporate. Civil penalties for the same amount apply.12 Nov 2019" Why is this not imposed?

If you used your flybuy card they say you will be refunded...how?

I would rather the flights left and arrived on time rather than a glass of wine!

I dont bother with those compare places...not all health funds are in the lot they compare.
