    Rare set of Penfolds Grange wine sold for $400,000 at Dan Murphy’s

    Investing in anything is a practice for which I will never have the surplus capital but many people do invest in a large variety of things. My brother is a true investor. He has been investing in numerous things since he had his first job delivering phone books and bought $100 worth of Apple...

    Today hosts Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon face pressure to bring the show’s ratings up

    I will be sticking with Sunrise. The news reports are far more accurate and timely. Personally I can't stand Karl Stefanovic. He's a half smart, rude, mysogenist.

    Nigella Lawson’s steak has people’s opinions divided on Instagram: “Can’t wait to see it cooked”

    My hubby loves his steak rare like this one of Nigella's. Personally I couldn't face it. I really like the Curtis Stone method. It works for every taste level.

    American expat goes viral for finding Australian coffee detail bewildering: “I can’t drink the coffee here.”

    I agree that American coffee shouldn't even be called coffee. It is just dishwater. There are so many variations of coffee available in Australia that if you can't find one to suit you then you should just go back to the States. As for our dairy! It's beautifully fresh and very healthy. At least...

    More breakfast goodies from Aldi: Shoppers raving over $1.99 pancake mix

    Here at our aged care residence we are lucky enough to have a hot breakfast choice every morning which I'm told is very uncommon in aged care. In most facilities there is just cereal and toast with jam for breakfast each day. We are certainly grateful here for our morning chefs who regularly...

    The best time to exercise for a good night’s sleep, according to two sleep experts

    Nothing heavy to eat before bed, in fact no food at all after 7pm. All digital media in cluding TV off at least 2 hours before settling to sleep. Breathing based mefitation has always helped me to destress and relax my body and mind so I go off to sleep quickly and sleep soundly.

    The Ice Man and his Ice Cream: Steve Waugh steals spotlight at the Australian Open

    Only in Australia could a famous sportsman enjoy his ice-cream at the tennis just like everyone else. Pity they had to make such a fuss.

    Minnie Mouse’s new “progressive” look sparks outrage among furious Disney fans — “I’m redesigning this!”

    Minnie in a pantsuit! How ridiculous! Pantsuits aren't even fashionable. Her original style from the 20's needs to be treasured.

    The $6 hair “holy grail” everyone is raving about — “I'm going to restock on it forever!”

    My sister-in-law who is a hairdresser put me on to this serum years ago and I have been using it ever since. I actually use it to stengthen my fine hair but it works brilliantly to stop the frizz in my adopted Indian daughter's long black frizzy hair. $6 is an unbelievable price but I truly hope...

    The Morning Show’s Larry Emdur sparks debate online with his ‘dish jenga’ post: “That is SO stressful”

    I would "kill" anyone who tried to do this in my kitchen. Just get off your bum and dry the dishes. If you leave dishes and especially glasses to air dry they end up all streaked and looking like they haven't been washec.

    Old bottles sitting in your storage room? Turn them into STYLISH pantry storage using this mum’s SIMPLE hack

    Before Christmas I purchased online a package of a dozen strings of tiny LED lights. The strings are 30cm long and have about 15 lights on the string. On the top of each string I glued a plastic wine bottle cork. I then slipped the strings of lights into some old wine bottles. When lit up these...

    Newlywed bride wants divorce because her husband broke his promise: reasonable or not?

    Absolutely divorce the animal. This is definitely abuse and even more so assault. It is clearly a sign that the aggressive monster could get worse. Get out before it's too late.

    Expat shows the ‘Aussie’ way of cracking a boiled egg – do you do this too?

    I've been cracking my breakfast boiled egg like this since I was old enough to do it for myself. Before that my Mum did it for me. Of course you need to leave it in the shell to dip your soldiers.

    Aldi shoppers are swooning over this $4.99 sparkling — “It’s the best!”

    I wish Aldi would stock some other wine varieties at great value prices instead of the horribly sweet Moscato. It's probably cheap because it's too sweet for anyone to drink. How about a $4.99 Sauvignon Blanc instead.

    Product Review Suggestions!

    I would really like to have you do a review of soft pack soups. For example Heinz Vs Coles Brand. I try to always keep a few in the fridge to make a good quick meal if you get home late or don't feel like cooking. I would also be interested on a review of steam irons.

    Battle of the Bikkie: Arnott's Assorted VS. Woolworths Assorted

    Personally I spell them "bickies" but I'm not trying to set the standard here. Personally my choice is always Arnott's in spite of the price. I've tried a huge number of 'home brand' bickies of various types. They are never as good as Arnott's. All that said I'd take anything homemade before...

    KFC are the next casualty of the supply chain crisis, announce a drastically reduced menu

    Oh dear! No KFC! What a disaster. Give a thought to those of us in aged care that have been confined to our rooms since New Year's Day and have now been told that our meals will be rationed because of supply disruptions.

    Novak Djokovic returns to the tennis court after winning legal battle - but the world number one still may not play!

    Tennis star or not rules are rules. The vaccination rules have been made to protect other players and the public. My sister-in-law who returned home to visit her dying mother was fully vaccinated including a booster but still was required to do two weeks quarantine. The rules need to apply to...
