no one force you to shop anywhere, do whatever you like. I still hate those places where you queue and you have to tell shop assistants to actually get the stuff for me (some people think they have human interraction:rolleyes:)

I never pack at Aldi, or any other place I do my shopping, nor do I take bags with me ( which stay in the car) (the others stores try, without success, to convince me to take their bags, they presume I have forgotten them :D ) . Shopping is quickly and efficiently shoved back in the trolley...

had those experiences with Coles some time ago, learned to only order groceries not meat or fresh vegetables/fruits... received extremely fatty meat. and they changed the type of potatoes also different apples etc., the fresh greens did not look very fresh. To top it off as apology they were...

well people have to make up their mind: are we wrong to keep our money for our kids to inherit...ie wealth inheritance, or should we spend like mad and not thinking about our poor offsprings who cannot buy a house... Government rules ensure that if we give them money when we are alive we will be...

Have been using it all the time. I use the oil from tin sardines in chili oil, from feta tubs, from capsicum tubs etc. sometimes as dressings, sometimes to cook eggs...

flat white double shot is the closest to my French café au lait... ie not watered down...some places automatically "double shot"the coffee, others dont...If in doubt I ask and occasionnally I am told tersely...we always double shot our flat white:)

the other day in Sydney I saw a Polestar taxi... yes an EV

most likely, and felt that he had "bought"her

She was right. It was a red flag: he showed her who was the boss and he was rough, and her wishes were irrelevant. Did not augur well for the relationship in other respects

Not so bad now that they use electric bicycles, were a shocker when they had motorcycles that left deep marks on the kerb lawn

did the same in the 60's, beautiful planters, though never used them as tubs

Those tubs were in the outside laundry when we bought the house in the 60's. Never used them, however got them put in the garden, painted them green, and use them as planters to this day (was told to dump them...even then I was in recycling). A couple of years earlier on renting a flat, was...

Apparently it was all in my head I was refusing coffee after 2pm. Well one evening I could not sleep "as if I had a coffee"... My better half advised: of course you had caffein at 5pm...My first glass of... Coca-Cola, I had no idea....My last glass too as I did not like the taste and could not...

yes mine also reside in the car and dont take them out of the boot. I empty trolley at the car. At home they also go back into the car when emptied.

I never take bags out of the car boot and keep on refusing to buy some at the check out. I sort and fill them from the trolley. If shopping without the car I always have a folded bag with me. I cannot see the point of having untrained checkout people shoving things willy nilly in my bags

I started work in 1962 and never ever had my salary paid in cash, always to a bank account, including when arriving from France in Sydney in1965. But my husband working for Australians had a "pay packet" , it amused us no end that he was not allowed to have his salary transferred to a bank...

well they just turned up in North Queensland Townsville, a couple of months ago. i dont need to bring stuff up north. I used to send a picture and most of the time answer was yes. I\ I understand those people in Tasmania (particularly ex-mainland who know what they are missing)

We always did that when I was a child, our main meal at luchtime : - in summer a salad (tomatoes, cucumber etc) - in winter a vegetable soup = then main vegetables plus pasta or potatoes or rice - then meat, - then cheese, - then some green salad - to finish the meal a fruit not everything...

my new kitchen has floor to ceiling cupboards...could not stand the tops of the previous one
