Great Read I have just finished reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I was feeling a bit daunted when Ì saw the thick book with the small print. But I just flew through it. Couldn't put it down. It captured me right from the first chapter. The characters wrre beautifully written and...

I must agree wholeheartedly. There is some sort of policy on how many items can be put in a bag. My recent Coles order of 14 items came in 12 bags. The 4 x 1lt tetra packs of coconut water came in 4 bags. 1 in each bag. How stupid is that! I can understand putting cold things together and food...

Great work Fox Video. It takes good ol' country gumption to hold on to our recent history. I'll bet the people in Mt Morgan love you. I don't think their reception there is much good anyway. They probably really appreciate all the new DVDs to rent.

Certainly a heap of work. Very clever. Guess you just buy lots of bags of paddle pop sticks from the craft store. Certainly wouldn't like to have to eat all those paddle pops much as I like them.

These are all great solutions. I've been using nonchemical forms of weeding in both my veggie garden and flower beds eversince my hubby and I decided to go completely organic in our avocado orchard and get our certification to be able to advertise our fruit as organic. The damp newspaper trick...

Trust Nellie to be involved in this. He is truly amazing and is very good at adapting 'fast food' to make it healthier and more interesting. I wish I could be in Sydney April 1 - 3 so I could try out the KFC/Nelly degustation menu. How inventive: a melting gravy candle to dip your potato bun...

I have never experienced anything but great service from our "posties". I've certainly never had a package thrown across my front lawn. It's been my experience that posties either ring the gate bell so I can go to the gate to get my parcel or at times when I haven't been at home the postie has...

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture. No-one could possibly imagine it's humble beginnings. Congratulations on your creativity and wood working skills. You could easily market these to the public.

I have always advocated that Hot Cross buns for Easter should only be traditional fruit buns with crosses and only sold for the very short Easter period. All the other varieties of yeast bun that are so popular could be sold all year round but without the traditional cross and called yeast buns...

WOW! It sounds like these two are running a business enterprise not a committed relationship. If they have a baby how are they going to decide who pays for what. Who's going to pay for medical bills, school bills etc etc. A true family is a much greater commitment than a business contract. A...

Kimberly's golden rules are absolutely spot on. You would be wise to remember that these golden rules for eating out are the ones we should be mindful of all the time. My dietitian introduced these rules to me three years ago to adopt to my whole eating plan. It took me 26 months to lose 54kgs...

I have seen a lot of these amazingly realistic cakes. They seem to be particularly popular in Japan. The cakes Katy and Teagan do are brilliant. They are so clever.

I've seen some amazingly "real" objects that are actually cake. I've seen some of Katie and Tegan's cakes they are brilliant. They would fool anyone. Such a clever talent.

I can seriously relate to poor Sharon's story. My hairdresser of 20 years recently retired. The new hairdresser who took over her business was nice to talk to and asked a lot of questions about how I wanted my hair done but my first cut from her was disastrous. I looked like a punk rocker (no...

Touching another person without their consent no matter what the circumstances is invading their space and is essentially assault. No-one would want to touch me without my consent I would be letting them know it's not acceptable under any circumstances. I hope I wouldn't be as abrupt and rude...

OH DEAR! Yet another case of someone airing their private business on social media and therefore leaving themselves open to all sorts of comments not all good from complete strangers. It is my personal opinion that you have left it all too late. You should have made a move many years ago to try...

Thank you so much to all of you who have found it in your hearts to give what you can to those who have suffered so badly during the flood. So many people lost everything when their homes were inundated. Many aren't even back in their homes yet. They are managing with their families in shelters...

I sometimes wonder why people go to the trouble of posting anything on social media. There's always someone out there who takes great delight in being critical and denegrating others about their personal choices. Who cares if you keep your Vegemite in the fridge. After spending a summer in Mount...

Golden Gaytime have been my ultimate go to treat since I was young. My hubby still buys me one as a movie going treat instead of the ubiquitous drum stick. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the bite sized version. Extra special for an afternoon tea treat but it will certainly be very hard to...

I learnt two easy tips for making perfect risotto from Curtis Stone on his programme years ago. Always add warm stock not cold. There's some scientific reason but I just know it works. I always heat a tetra pack of bought stock in the microwave. The other absolute must is the addition of a small...
