    Is this the grossest fridge-cleaning ‘hack’ ever? People can't decide

    To each his own. NEVER criticize how a housewife covers her chores. Just use your commonsense & be ever aware of bacteria as #1. We,ve all been "through the mill" & glass is easy to wash down. Where I feel for others are people who are fastidious all there lives until they necessitate a back...

    Investigation into the death of an 11-week-old baby reveals heartbreaking details: 'It could have been prevented'

    No sleep for me tonight. This Club of ours is making so much more sense every minute. I'm alone with tissues present. The more I live the more these rotten authorities are just around to ignore urgent cases & make themselves immune to lifting one hand to help. They take their pay as...

    BIG W under fire for 'sexist' pricing

    I don't know how we ever existed without Jon & Maddie's idea to float such a fantastic idea as the SDC. It has grown like Topsy as you see new names daily writing in, & more names to the team also. No matter what our age, there is something for everybody. I am so proud to ring anyone I...

    Take a look at these three kitchen storage hacks using Kmart basics!

    How times have altered. My Mum had ONE drawer for her cooking utensils that each piece duplicated for another. I reckon us mods have proved over the years that we have far more choice with electricals, that we create work. Cleaning up seemed easier when I helped Mum back in the thirties...

    Mum's 'healthy' fairy bread recipe causes controversy online - would you try it?

    Don't change "Tradition." It's a no no. AND, it isn't as if we have it every day of our lives. Fatima does have a great idea BUT steer away from calling it' Fairy Bread.' It's vegetables grated onto bread to serve as an alternative. ha ha it IS healthy though, but I STILL like to crunch my...

    Kmart launches budget-friendly $49 'dupe' for a luxury item that retails for $170

    I don't need K-Mart to turn my coffee table into something other than what "I" use it for. Impress, impress to show people you're knowledgeable. We've had enough of people using their kids to show us how they are so clever with their mobile phones. Before long we'll be raising kids alien to...

    The Morning Show hosts mock Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix docuseries with a parody poster

    Harry & his Grandfather have a strong lookalike appearance. As for H @ M wanting privacy I doubt it. They act up to every cameraman so it's up to us to relieve ourselves from the least interest in them. Media is to blame. Just close all doors to being interested in them & hip hip hooray...

    This breakfast news program was discreetly axed after lacklustre ratings

    I have always been wary of destructive criticism whenever I have seen the sadness it really can cause cause another human being who has not deserved it. People who I have known many years, wanting to put in their sixpenneth worth. Where does it get you? I'd prefer "laughter lines" than...

    Couple still locked out of home THREE YEARS after purchase - what happened?

    Yes, greed CAN get in the way for people. I'd accept their offer & run a mile. If you fight it you'll lose. They know every trick in the book that you sadly DON'T. Keep it in mind that a particular age group you fall into, cannot take the stress & strain no matter what. They'll throw the...

    Member Spotlight: Ricci (Part 2) - Becoming an Australian!

    Ricci, I ALWAYS knew you were one special lady who took challenges as I have done in my 97 years. Although I am an Aussie all through I DO admire people who take up a challenge with confidence. My daughter married a dutchman whose parents came to Australia with 4 children under 6. Sadly the...

    One Aussie woke up to find $58 million in his bank account – what he did next surprised…well, everyone!

    HONESTY is ALWAYS the best policy. I could not live any other way. Just imagine such a thing being on your mind 24 hours a day. The answers before mine are spot on. I think about heart attacks right now just being honest. I'd be a nervous wreck. Money is evil when it is not yours to spend...

    TikToker shares the surprising ways women attracted men in 1958 – ‘Most of these worked!’

    True story. Met "Marmaduke" when I began Junior School. A good looking kid that was overlooked because of his name. Others teased him. Me? I just could not do that. In Senior School still friendly with him & both of us followed on to Swinburne Tech College. At 18 Marm joined the Army and...

    A concerned neighbour leaves an odd note on a car parked in Sydney – but some locals aren't happy

    No, when you are as old in the tooth as I am with 70 years of driving behind me, I'll give this one a miss. There's a couple of generations on the road now, mostly you'll be told to mind your own business or "Yes I know; what's it got to do with you.?" I didn't take the chance EVER with abuse...

    The Simple Tricks To Use Excess Cupcake Liners

    I can't help but go back to Junior School whenever I see cup cakes. They were called "patty pans" in my days. We had home made toffee placed in them with nonpariels (100s & 1000s sprinkled on top) & sold for a penny each on fund raising days. ha ha ha! I remember trying to rip the paper off...
