    Pink musk sticks

    I can still remember the strong smell of the musk sticks. I bet they don't smell or taste the same today.

    Mum’s astonishing discovery in BIG W Children's Section sparks controversy

    Yes, that's another one that should be banned. They don't care who sees it as long as it makes MONEY.

    Mum’s astonishing discovery in BIG W Children's Section sparks controversy

    I was disappointed to see adult winter hoodies hanging outside a smoke and gift shop in our local shopping centre. Some had F@#K off and another dont be a C#@T printed on them, but others were OK and not offensive. They also had them hanging in full view in the shop window where kids could see...

    Electric jug

    Yes, we used to get threatened with the jug cord if we misbehaved, I got it a couple of times and you don't forget it and I can't remember what I had done to deserve it. I remember other kids used to cop the jug cord also.

    mesh

    Mum loved Oroton and had the handbag, wallet, cigarette case and lighter, some earrings and necklace, not worn all at once. I used to love the feel of the mesh and it was quite a fashion statement back in the '70's. I still have a small coin purse.

    Joke It's a skill

    Looks just like my kitchen sink after doing dishes. I have had the luxury of dishwashers in the past, they do an excellent job but now have to do them myself, as no room in our kitchen to install one.

    When we have sold properties in the past we have not renovated them. The garden is well maintained, neat and tidy, the house itself had been thoroughly cleaned and decluttered and minimalised. The cleaning of the house itself is a mammoth task if doing it on your own, which I usually did. But...

    I still have my Mother's Oraton handbag in top condition.

    I still use a "Park Lane" silver mesh coin purse for my $1 and $2. It belonged to my mother and haven't seen another one, but it is very nice and useful. People have often commented how lovely it is.

    You seem to know what your talking about. We had a HT once upon a time followed by a "74 HQ automatic red motor sedan. Dad had a Monaro when they first come out, best car he ever had.

    I had a guy next door who used to start his car up at 5am and leave it running for 10 minutes every morning. It was right next to my bedroom window and annoyed me no end. Inconsiderate at that time of day.

    I didn't think the HR was a Kingswood. Dad had a HR amongst many others and we had 74? HQ automatic and it was quick off the lights. I love cars and motor racing!
