    These people have NO idea how to use quotation marks!

    I love you CheeseQueen. You hit the nail on the head. Reading is a necessity. If I see wrong spelling I simply cannot cope with it. As a kid my teacher was a drilling artist when it came to spelling. Now @ almost 97 a wrong word spelling hits me head on, & most of the words are on...

    Kmart fan’s simple DIY laundry renovation wows social media

    What a wonderful idea & so clean looking too. May I add a little idea? She has space between the trough to put a folding up plastic clothes basket. I have room between my trough & the toploader. The bottom of the basket folds down into the sides which flattens.

    Coles shopper reveals SECRET to only paying $10 for groceries worth $215 - and you won't believe how easy it is!

    I am one of the old fuddy-duddies. Meat has to smell "on top of the world." Many years ago I was taken to a beautiful Restaurant for a birthday gift & I suffered food poisoning. If you've ever had it, You would want nothing else but to die. It never waited for me to even get to the second...

    Joke Good Neighbours

    Just goes to show you what some women will do for a neighbour in debt. The husband will wait for his 800 bucks I guess. The secret just had to be aired. ha ha!

    Mum's chilling secret: what she hid in her kitchen that won't be found for 50 years

    Airing our sense of humour? Yes, but our practical side of life says "forget it." She;s too early. Whilst young you need cupboards that are usable in height. Leave your jokes for much later. I rather liked the guys who demolished a home in Albert Park many years ago and found ANOTHER two...

    The unexpected $8 product from Woolworths that’s a MASSIVE hit among shoppers – any guesses?

    Tacky too. Don't belong in a garden EVER. Kids rooms only.

    RECALL: Children's foldable e-bike recalled over safety concerns - what you need to know

    Should not have been issued in the first place. Where are the supposed people who test everything before put on to the open market? Wouldn't happen in Japan where even the smallest commodity is tested for years before it is tossed into the open market.

    This is not a drill, shoppers! ALDI’s annual cast iron cookware sale is back!

    Yes I too had the range of the cast iron pots. Loved them madly until I had Carpel Tunnel Syndrome so could not lift them. Gave them away & have sobbed ever since. Yes somehow Aug 13th I'll be taxi ing for the one I had for bread. Wish I could get a spare hand beater I got from Aldi years...

    ALDI announces major online shopping change after eagle-eyed shoppers point out a huge 'backflip' on progress

    I've been studying Aldi's for SOOOOOO long now & the ideas above are sensible BUT, in life there is a reason for everything. One has to think hard & when you're on a good wicket you stick to it, especially in business. I have no doubt the Company is daily studying the right & wrong times to...

    Is This Your Favourite Supermarket? Australians Crown the BEST Supermarket Retailer in the Country

    You all know my love of Aldi from its beginnings from Croydon & Chirnside Park. At the moment I am relying on my wonderful nephew to shop etc for me. I don't mind where he shops whilst I am trying to survive like all of us are. I've saved enough over the years to warrant the bit extra that...

    Pensioners may be the solution to job vacancies, but the pension penalty is too high

    I;m the lucky last having all ahead of me. Katiej immediately above is confusing me. Am I under a different sky to her? OR am I reading her wrong? I've never heard of anyone having to give Workers, Comp back. Have you? Not having to call on it I am immensely interested. Given in one hand &...

    Incredibly rude behaviours that will make your blood boil! — You might want to think twice before your next social interaction...

    I saw a kid from a well known private school steal an aero choc bar & put it in his pocket. (I cannot stand stealing). I asked him his reason. "I am hungry." Well, come to the check out & I will pay for it. Smiles found his face. I asked him to take it out of his pocket & told the girl on...

    Professional cleaner reveals the SIX things you SHOULD AVOID if you want to make cleaning your home a breeze

    Storage containers STILL collect dust though no matter how high. We moved to a unit without cupboards over the stove. Our regrets ever since. The guy placed cupboards too high, so the upper shelves are too high. Put paper across the top to find the dust & grease accumulates from the stove...

    Reddit users react to twins named after two 'booming' cities

    I am more concerned with the twins who have been named Nagasaki & Hiroshima. Apart from the history kids give one another nicknames @ school. Obviously the little girl will get "Hiro" which is a boys Japanese name & the boy Naga. Names do stick growing up. A late mate of mine was longing to...

    Woolworths gives away FREE fruit to children, but some shoppers are taking advantage

    My blood boils over whenever stealing is spoken about especially in adults. Parents are entirely to blame for NOT telling their kids how wonderful W.W. are in GIVING free fruit especially to them being children. In this way YOU should be responsible for the act. If they are too young to...

    Mum shares laundry trick to cut drying time in half – perfect for winter!

    Yes, it has been a natural with me for years & JayKays method is super also because of the fabrics that do not need as much spinning. It's a breeze for the relocation of your towels. They seem to know they can "stretch out & dry in comfort.."

    Have you seen this viral 'heartwarming' video? The man featured in it is 'traumatised' - Here's what really happened!

    Wonderfully said Granny Sam. My sentiments exactly. I can't reiterate more. Charity broadcasted is purely self-indulgence, and self praise has NO recommendation in the many people who wrote The Bible. This man did not think of feelings that Esa may have had being humiliated. Always put...

    Aussie couple makes crickets — a more eco-friendly source of protein — a mainstay in their diet

    Well, I tried worms out of Dad's garden which I STILL remember how revolting they were, but I HAD to try them once. Anything that hits protein BIG to stop me loving carbs, yes I'd go for the powder ONLY. Try it over nice hot beans/butter & I'll let you know. Just thinking, if the couple said...

    Hilarious (and slightly sad) satirical 'budgeting tips' post goes viral on Aussie social media

    I have realized, long ago how lucky I have really been. We never told what Dad's wages were until we were grown up. They rented & Dad grew EVERY vegetable & fruit tree under the sun, & the chooks in a Rolls Royce shed gave us their eggs, all on a 25 ft frontage. We had what was necessary...
