It's bad enough that the large supermarkets start selling Hot Cross buns straight after Christmas without making them all these strange flavours. If people want all these different flavoured buns why not have them all year round with ordinary names and save traditional Hot Cross buns just for...

What a brilliant idea and at such an oppotune time. Most of us, especially pensioners on a fixed income, are looking to get our regular shop at the lowest available price.

My family also swear by a very cheap popcorn maker that was bought for a few dollars years ago and has been producing large bowls of our favourite movie night treat for many years.

My family love what we call vegemite pinwheels. I've been making them for school lunch boxes for years. You simply spread a sheet of frozen puff pastry with Vegemite, roll it up and cut slices off the roll about 2cm thick.. Turn them on their side and bake until golden. They are yummy and the...

After losing 56kgs and keeping it off for 2 years now I can guarantee that almost everything you hear about weight loss is a myth. First you must forget the word diet. To maintain a healthy weight you need to maintain a healthy food plan. It needs to last for life. Eat good wholesome food, not...

What a joy to find a really caring human being. You are brilliant Mansi.

OMG! Trust a yank to ruin something as wonderful as a good cup of tea. It seems the like their tea tasting like dish water just like their coffee.

My Dad was a senior naval officer and I always found officer's mess rules of etiquette very strange. The mess provides toast at breakfast but no side plates. Toast is broken into pieces directly on the polished table! Also all pieces of fruit are peeled and eaten with a knife and fork. There are...

I can hardly wait for the release of Sorted on the 21st. After I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome many people including my dietitian recommended Kefir. But being lactose intolerant it just wasn't an option. I really look forward to trying Sorted.

As a resident in an aged care facility I can totally relate to Rose's case. Our facitity went into complete lockdown on the 1st January. We spent 22 days with residents confined in their rooms 24/7. No time outside in the fresh air what so ever. No visitors even at the window. It was a very...

I personally don't shop at Aldi anymore because I have had a lot of experience with their cashiers not helping me with my groceries. As a paraplegic I can't carry grocery bags hence I have a large back pack attached to the rear of my wheelchair. All the Coles and Woolies cashiers are more than...

Well done Woolies. Cheers for trying to make this a more inclusive world and catering to those with special needs.

Remember to get all your pancake goods ready for March 1st which is Shrove/Pancake Tuesday. Pancakes are traditionally made on this day to signify the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. On Shrove Tuesday everything with leavening/yeast was used because only unleavened bread could be eaten...

It's lovely to know that even the royal family have their quiet special places where they can just be ordinary people together.

With four kids and therefore an endless number of socks I started using a method similar to this many, many years ago. There weren't any mesh bags available 40 years ago so I used calico bags I made myself.

How great! What a wonderful thing it is to have a female patron for both these codes of football. Of course, it's not unexpected really. William and Kate are a very hands on, down to earth couple. The monarchy is in good hands with these two in the line of succession.

What a brilliant idea. Urea is well known as a great boost for plants. My granma always poured the urine from her overnight gazzunder around her mango tree. It always had the best fruit in the district. So much better to be using it for fertilizer than creating pollution.

I've just tried this so I could hopefully have a poached egg with my avocado on toast for breakfast. It works perfectly. What a brilliant hack. I wish I'd known about it years ago. By the way I used a tea cup because I had one handy. It was the perfect size.

Another great example of the social media disease. It's detrimental, judgemental and down right damaging to people's self-esteem and well-being. Get off social media you idiots and get a life!

This is a great idea that I first heard about years ago. I don't like the idea of plastic so I buy the paper party table cloths from the cheap discount store. They are usually less than $3, are very large and the heavy duty paper doesn't tear easily. They come in all sirts of beautiful colours...
