Great work! The only thing that confuses me is that the 16kg weight loss took 6mths, 12mths and 16mths all in the same article.

This certainly is a fast, easy way to hang up lots of shirts but I'll be damned if I'm going to shove a number of blouses that I've just spent hours ironing up my arm and onto a hanger. They'd be a crumpled mess quick smart.

I've always used vinegar, eucalyptus oil and oil of cloves to kill mould but a recent search for these items found them all completely sold out in all my local shopping places : Coles, Woolies and Aldie. I did manage to get vinegar at IGA and eucalyptus oil at the chemist. If the wet weather...

I definitely blame lazy shoppers. It's not just a Coles problem. I regularly shop at a large shopping centre that has Coles, Woolies and Aldi. It is very common to find shopping trolleys abandoned at the local bus stop by shoppers who take them from the centre. As a disabled person in a...

They've always been DIFFERENT in WA. Naked onions doesn't surprise me. Nor does it surprise me that we grow "prettier" onions in the eastern states!!!

The lasering is very efficient, cost effective and causes no damage to the fruit. Many places now laser avocados instead of using stickers. When we ran an avocado orchard one of our pet hates was the time and money it took to label fruit individually with tiny stickers that we had to have...

Wow! How exciting! I just love Sukin products and have been gradually changing over my skin regime to Sukin as my old products ran out. Now is obviously a great time to pick up this terrific product at a bargain price.

Actually mayo in chocolate cake is a great way to make a moist cake with a fine, tender crumb. I've used it for years but I must admit my family's favourite chocolate cake has avocado in it instead of butter. It's delicious, moist and lasts better than most cakes.

Bought ice-cream always intigues me as I grew up with home made ice-cream. Even when my kids were young I made all our ice-cream. The quickest, easiest ice-cream to make at home is to freeze a can of evaporated milk. When the tin is frozen put the contents in a large bowl and beat it with an...

It is absolutely ridiculous that Medicare hasn't been reviewed since the 80s. Our population has aged considerably since then. Medicare is already failing those of us living in aged care facilities. The Medicare rebate to GPs to attend residents is so low we are expected to pay a very high Gap...

While the majority of Australians are enjoying a lot less Covid restrictions it would do them well to remember that many Australian veterans who live in aged care facilities are going to spend Anzac Day in isolation and lockdown. Our veterans care home will not be having an Anzac service for the...

We seem to be inundated with numerous American spellings not just Mom. It certainly is annoying but I have been putting up with 'program' instead of 'programme' since I went to Uni in the mid 70s.

This could only happen in Sydney. I'm a paraplegic who is confined to a wheelchair. I often have to negotiate a footpath on the way to church where four cars are parked outside a house all over the footpath. Nobody seems to be able to do anything about it even though it means I have to go out...

I have no intention of needing a new passport anytime soon.

I would just remind young home buyers that the current amazingly low interest rates may not last. My hubby and I were trying to pay off a $110,000 mortgage in 1987 when we had four kids at school and the interest rate was 18.5%. Believe me there was not much money left to buy food after you'd...

Yuk! I absolutely hate French Onion Soup mix. Not to mention it's full of preservatives and rubbish. I've always baked my potatoes in the oven under the roast which I put on a trivet in the baking dish no matter what it is (chicken to pork). Potatoes bake crispy if you parboil them first then...

I mostly use glass containers but the plastic ones I do use I always hand wash. Never in the dishwasher and of course there are only a few brands of plastic ware that are designed to be used in the microwave. Be careful using just any plastic containers in the microwave because they can give off...

In 1978 my husband and I set up a 1400 tree avocado orchard outside Gatton, QLD and started doing everything necessary to get an 'Organic Grower's Certificate' from the CSIRO. We chose to grow avocados because we had read so much about how beneficial they were to good health. The information...

This reselling business must be stopped somehow. Unfortunately it's not illegal but it certainly isn't moral. I think it's wonderful that shops like KMart put these essential items on sale at such great prices to benefit people who are doing it tough like flood victims. These selfish scumbags...

Very clever lady. You have a hidden talent. Congratulations on your amazing creation.
