Glad my council doesn’t do this. What a total waste, I’d be ranting as well. In Launceston we even have to print our own roster for bin collection. They do mail out our yearly tip use voucher but that’s about all. The last municipality we lived in always gave a reasonable discount for paying...

I haven’t noticed this but then I rarely shop in store, online shopping is so much easier. If I am in store I always use tap and go but will find out when I go to my GP in a fortnight. There, you insert your card then your pin etc to pay your bill & then again for Medicare rebate. I use a debit...

All of our bills are sent electronically & it saves so much angst as they often arrived while we were in WA. my husband still prints them all out as he likes hard copies of everything, unfortunately. My brother, who stays in our house while we’re away, used to express post them over but mail...

My boy is 43 & has been in Perth for 21 yrs. He used to bring his laundry home years ago but since buying his own place several years ago he does it all himself, unless I’m visiting, then he relies on the laundry fairy!

Also applies to my son except mum doesn’t do it. Bit hard when we live on opposite sides of the country. He hangs work polo tops on hangers & dries everything inside on airers, otherwise flies & mosquitoes come inside on dry clothes. I do sneak things outside when I’m there but also get into...

I guess actually washing out the fridge is way too simple for them. I’m always in mine cleaning at least one shelf, it’s amazing how drips etc seem to appear. I love seeing shiny glass shelves & it never actually smells, except of a hint of a vanilla.

Maybe we should all get together & share all the “new“ tips that we’ve all been doing for years. I’ve used baking paper where ever I can for ever, anything to save extra cleaning. My late mum in law used to work at a paper mill & kept me supplied with baking paper which came in large sheets. I...

I wasn’t even aware of this service so it isn’t going to affect me. I always have my cards with me anyway, I have to carry my drivers license so might as well just take my wallet with me.

My husband will be fine, his cardiologist told him to increase his salt intake, lucky duck.

Tasmania, of course, doesn’t have Aldi so I’ve sent an urgent email to my son in Perth. I’m going to need supplies for my stay in Perth. 🤣

Would certainly have been an interesting flight. I usually read but maybe I’d have furthered my ongoing education. 😇

Last time I went to the cinema the aircon. was so cold that my poor friend was shivering & the audio was loud enough to deafen you. It was a totally horrible experience so haven’t been since. I think our local cinema had the no outside food back then besides I find the smell of popcorn rather...

Mine too elaine41, can’t concentrate on driving & worry about my phone at the same time. If I was expecting an urgent call I could hook it up through bluetooth which my husband uses but I’ve never had reason to. I return calls when I’m parked.

I didn’t know about the magazine, I must subscribe. I buy Cannivale towels as they are an Australian firm with an Australian made product & they have great sales.

I’m almost in shock when I actually find something that is really made here. It’s so sad that almost every Aussie company have been sold off, and a lot of our large farms as well. I try & support Aussie made where possible but it’s so hard. I can remember when Launceston used to have quite a few...

Mine is next week on the 2nd. Can’t believe it’s October next week.

Another person without a functioning brain cell!

I’m not a royalist but warmed towards Princess Anne many years ago when she told the photographers, to naff off! She also refused to get out of the car at an attempted kidnapping. A woman after my own style.

You’re not being mean to us poor Tasmanians are you? 🥲

Think I’ll just have to give up parking! I don’t have a problem with aps & have had a smart phone for years but I don’t store my card details on it. Never did like parking anyway. 😇
