I went shopping today and there wasn't a lot of pasta, but plenty of everything else. I didn't check the supermarket but the butcher and chicken shop both had heaps of chicken.

The parking brake rule reminds me of an incident when I was in my early 20s and drove my cousin to a craft market in St Kilda in my EH Holden. I parked the car went to pull the hand brake on (it was located under the dash) and the whole thing just pulled right out from it's socket! Thankfully I...

And I just happen to drinking a coffee while reading this article!

A while back we had mail theft in our local area, so we put a padlock on our letterbox.

I have enough gut problems dealing with severe food intolerances, there is no way I would visit these countries. I just know it would be a nightmare for me!

One of the many reasons I prefer to buy clothing in a real store where you can see the actual item and try it on!

I use a natural glass cleaner, as regular types cause dermatitis on my hands. I also use paper towels, as I find the window cloths all leave a strange sparkly residue on the mirrors, kind of like very fine glitter. I would prefer to use a cloth, but the paper towel works better. I use Handee...

My Mum used to work with these in a general store in a Victorian country town in the late 1940s. Mum used to work upstairs sending down people's change and also their banking. I remember seeing them in a few department stores, particularly going with my Nan to her health insurance (might have...

I have seen quite a few people wash their dishes without rinsing and always thought it was strange. I always rinse my dishes and dry them straight away. I've always thought the soapy residue would leave marks on the dishes and could make your food and drink taste soapy!

My saucepans are similar to this. Wiltshire from Big W and Smith & Noble from Harris Scarfe; very reasonably priced, easy to use and wash and last well. Most importantly they are not too heavy, all the expensive ones I looked at I could hardly lift!

Yes, I thought I saw on the news that the dog had been returned.

Are only people who can't cook permitted to eat out?

Me too, although I didn't quite qualify for the DPP, so I only got a permit that allows me double the time in a normal spot. Not much help as I really need it for the shopping centre, so I don't have to walk too far. I now have to go shopping very early, so I know I can get a car park close to...

I get hugely anxious when flying, so much so that I feel quite sick and I forget to breathe! I avoid flying if possible, but if I have to fly, my doctor gives me a prescription for Valium to take before flying. It helps a little. All the issues around Covid, lost luggage and poor service just...

I received this email this morning. Slightly different amount and mine was from [email protected]. Pretty clear that it was a scam, I deleted it and blocked the sender.
