Thank you @Maddie and the SDC Team!

Thank heavens we have a *Choice* in Australia! Now, surely next steps should follow after these results? Not all consumers read reviews (or are Choice and SDC members) so are retailers withdrawing these products from their shelves? Of course, manufacturers are constantly doing brand and...

Welcome, Alexia! I'm sure you will find yesterday's article about aged care very interesting ... we're looking forward to your thoughts.

I do understand the 'only child' bit. My siblings have all left home by the time I went to school and I saw most of them (and their families) once a year or sometimes even once every two years. While I knew they were my siblings, they never felt like it. That is, until I was approximately 30 and...

Seven years later, using vinegar for rinsing 99.99% of the time and my front loader is still going strong (but crossing my fingers as I'm writing this)!!

This sounds like a plan! My bearded chap does not use shaving cream, of course, so I'll have to add this to the shopping list.

Use commercial fabric softener as little as possible. Vinegar works as well and leaves you with a clean washing machine!

Bananas never get to an overripe stage in this household, but the recipe does look good so I'll go and hunt for some in the local IGA

Now this is a useful article @Sean! My husband and I are not at the stage where we need to take the next step, but we are regularly discussing our options, so all information is welcome. Perhaps this article should become a downloadable PDF document that is regularly updated (e.g. with the...

Great idea if succulents are your thing.

Oooh, I suppose they save loads of their precious time as they don't have to feed in coins one by one!!;) By the way, I did not even know one could feed coins into the machines - I thought one had to use notes only!!!

I also use a bread tag.

This is marvellous story amidst all the trauma of the current floods (and the ongoing horror in Ukraine). I could not help but smile at your teaser line for this article 'And finally, after sitting in a kayak in rising floodwaters, one Brisbane woman has given birth.' Taken out of the context...

Rather send @Robbo128 travel fare to come to your house!

Dear @leanneh, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience (and that of your loved ones), but glad to hear that you are safe and soldiering on! I hope this nightmare will soon be over ...

If my mother were still alive, I would've sent her this post, triumphantly adding, 'You see, the crust is meant to be thrown away. I was right all along!"

On our local FB group a mother recently advertised a bunkbed with quite a modern design for sale at $500. She explained that the bed was in excellent condition as it was only two years old, but that her daughter (age not mentioned) now wants something else. I had to ask my husband to handcuff...

Perhaps she missed school the day that the significance of 4 July 1776 was discussed and therefore does not realise that using her royal connection is rather inappropriate?

@Neeley , my understanding is that the more refined and processed the product is, the worse it affects you.

I know the feeling!!
