I,d give a chook a go if either stores could make the stuffing like I do. Their stuffing reminds me of sawdust swept off my Dad's tool shed floor. I'd need to scoop it out & put my own in it, but what a waste of time. I'll MAKE the time to buy a chook & stuff it myself thank you, let alone...

I am amazed that none of them mentioned the tines of forks, especially only a few years back when a young boy was helping his mum stack their dishwasher. All went well when suddenly the boy slipped and the tines of a fork which had been stacked facing UP , impaled his neck on a fork. I think...

If I am in a hurry & want the scones for the same day I use the lemonade recipe. Foolproof and so yummy. Next day not as good.

Always a Royalist I dearly wanted to see her when she came several times to Australia. The opportunity arose when she and her husband were driving through Heidelberg from the City of Melbourne. My husband was working so he asked his mate to take our 5 yr old daughter and myself to see the Royal...

A Mother is a person who is thrown in the deep end totally unrehearsed. With a partner/husband together with our wonderful Doctor's who study constantly, why wouldn't you trust them to relieve your little one of something that YOU must learn to believe in. Every day knowledge is giving us...

I am completely stoked, NOT skiting either, BUT why should under the sink be any different to your tidy home ? The secret is LABELLING. Even a child who "just plays & opens doors" are inquisitive enough to recognise a simple jar of vegemite, especially if they love it. NO joking, our gorgeous...

The afore mentioned politely wrote thank goodness they found it before they ate the greens. Don't tell me they ate the greens afterwards???? Oh, excuse me, I think I need the bathroom!!

Truth is stranger than fiction. I think we'd better get 007 to extract the employer who somehow had a dislike to the Proprietor @ some stage. Hiding the bat "somewhere" in his belongings before processing someone's order of chips would still be a super-sleuth task to keep the bag creaseless...

I'd have not put up with that woman for even a minute. Rules are rules & should be obeyed by everyone who are guests. I cannot believe she got extra time. What about the Police? They are supposed to be strict when called. Why wasn't she arrested? Spoiling holidays for others who have...

Us Mum's are surely so full of love for a person who could really not do what comes naturally to us. I need not elaborate the fact of having to dress up every day, to be "on top" of everything 24 hours a day, our hair exactly right, etc etc, even though you have helpers. To exist in under...

My whole family were brought up as Royal Admirers. Loved every book about them. My niece was christened Margaret Elizabeth, my other one Heather Margaret & my own daughter Rhonda Margaret. Every marriage of the Queens children we dressed & ate to coincide with the event. I wrote to her &...

You will need to convince me the woman is not a scaremonger. Everything including food is a no-no these days. At one stage it was too much coffee, then the meat we bought, then butter verses margarine. For Heaven's sake leave us alone & let us form our own opinions instead of wanting to be...

Unless you keep up with the "who owns who" you could be forgiven any day of the year. Natural mistake and we all make them.

Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (on reading back).

Here's where my luck is still with me. Our's was a wedding gift back in 1947; it's on my gas stove right now, old & faithful. It was released by the CAC which from memory is the Commonwealth Air Corporation. Has worked like a charm EXCEPT just once in all these years it was my fault. I never...

Fairy Tales keep us going. When you acquired a thin shell it was lack of shellgrit. When you had young pullets they occasionally would lay misshapen eggs, BUT when you got double yolkers the particular chook missed out laying the day before. Those answers went around in the thirties. Who is...

My wrinkles are mine but I call them smile lines, and my knees are not mine, but are fine, My ears have helpers to hear your voice, together with my imitation teeth of choice, I've lost one eye but I still have a spare, so charge your glasses 'cos I really do care. Today I plead guilty to being...

When you live with an illness that cannot be operated on because your age depicts "no operation", other symptoms make you work until you drop. Keeping clothes & bedding & a sweet smell throughout your home for not only the way you have always lived, but for visitors also, whom you do not tell...

I go for the grapes every time no matter how expensive they are. I compromise by going without something else. I just love grapes with nutrigrain & milk & I am 97 tomorrow. I reckon I am a living example for the grape growers, but not the wine industry. Never quite got there bar the odd...

I have lived a long time & from a kid with a lovely open fire to air-con, radiators, gas heating with 6 ducts all in the wrong places according to me, electric bars in bathrooms, Warmrays, you name it. Now in my few left twilight years I am convinced if I had my time all over again I'd settle...
