We shop just once a fortnight because it involves a round trip of almost 50 klms. We have shopped at this Coles since it opened in 1982 and now we are aged 79 and 81 living on our Government pensions and with two dogs. Fortunately we own our own home and have no debt. My last checkout total was...

Yesterday I spent a long time helping an elderly lady to apply for and fill out forms connected wiht her travelling to the USA to visit her daughter and family. This lady does not have a computer nor printer and does not drive any more. Her phone is only for making calls and she has no 'apps'...

Having been a Coles customer since I arrived in Australia in the 60s and joined FlyBuys as soon as it began, even having a Coles Mastercard to make the best use and build up of points for everything I buy and every bill I pay. I pay it off in full every month so no extra charge except the small...

Why at 79 should I have to try to look for work or even work again in order to have enough to live a decent life? For 50 years I worked full time as a teacher plus part time work in theatres and then also ran a farm with my husband, raised my two children paying for their education and giving...

Last New Year's Day I was feeling very despondent about Covid ruining our Christmas until someone posted on Facebook that I always made him laugh. I made the resolution that no matter how I was feeling I would make at least one person laugh each day. I am not sure but I think I succeeded and...

Just plain common sense to me. I get compliments on my skin and at 79 that's lovely to receive, especially as I have always worn light make-up most days and having worked on TV and stage, often it had to be very thick. My secret is - no matter how tired you are, always cleanse your skin...

I am wondering if they are drinking the product. How can it be causing uterine and breast cancers? What else are these women consuming which is really the cause? Cigarettes? That has to be one major cause of health problems and not just for the smokers. I have COPD and had lung removal surgery...

I had better rush to my supermarket and remove all the boxes of Favourites, Roses, Maltesers and Lindt chocolates so I won't run out if there is a shortage. Who needs toilet rolls?????

On a flight between London and Bordeaux in France, my husband and I had to be seated in different rows. I found myself between a very obese man and wife who refused to sit together. I was absolutely squashed and sat on with their legs sprawled across mine and their elbows wedged in my waist. I...

This week the Noosaville Coles had no 24 or larger cartons of Pepsi Max, Diet, Lite or Sugar free at all . I just cannot drink the 'ordinary" Pepsi or Coke. Also I check for the 'specials before I travel 50 klm round trip once a fortnight for my shopping . However very few appear on the...

Just as well it was called off. They obviously know so little about each other, can't communicate and would surely have argued over everything that cropped up in their marriage. Having a couple of vegan options would have solved the crisis but they couldn't even agree on that.

I adore TimTams and must ration myself. However even the smell of Vegemite turns my stomach.

Such a Lady! It is a shame to lose another of our mature female presenters as we have so many high pitched mouthy young blondes expressing politically biased news reports and opinions especially on Sky News and other stations belonging to Murdoch's empire. Jane will be missed.

Having travelled extensively in the US, we find that Americans treat their restaurant and shop assistants as if they were servants, especially if these workers are Mexican or Central American. When I challenged one group once for such loud rudeness I was told, "We are paying them to serve us...

Now if only it came with a hunky young guy willing to come and let me watch him doing my dozens of glass doors and windows. My old applicator is now 81 with a crook back and non-stop groans and moans. My own physical problems mean I need help for the tasks but there is nothing wrong with my...

I love most chocolates and buy a box of Favourites every major shop which is every two weeks. However I get stuck with the white chocolate "Dream". At last count I had 50 of them. I had them all ready to give out on Halloween but nobody came this year. I think word got around and even the local...

Post-war Britain meant food rationing, clothes were hand-me-downs or recycled by clever sewers and toys were what granddads made from wood. As a child my Christmases meant another jumper knitted by Nan from an unravelled one of hers, a second-hand doll dressed in rainbow coloured handknits and...

Why is it funny? Because it is about female genitalia?? I don't think it is funny nor the topic. So that should be enough reason for my opinion.

Not funny!
