Having done playground duty for over 35 years I have observed a lot and learned a lot about how children play with balls. Young boys tend to see any kind of barrier like a roof or a fence as some kind of goal post, something to get over. They don’t think about how to retrieve a ball until it...

I think lending one’s name to anything has any real value and I include all so called influencers in this . A person can recommend something and then it is up to a sensible person to make up their own mind on the subject. Anyone who pays any attention to influencers has to be a fool, in my...

Woolworths don’t always give you the points you accumulate buying those booster items on their rewards. I started checking how many points were added on my weekly shop and found that I had been short changed by hundreds of points several weeks in a row. I rang about it and was told it would be...

You can’t beat the Esk Valley cookbook. I was given one many many years ago and love so many recipes in it ,so much so that if ever there was a fire it is one of the first things I would grab along with the photo albums before running. I tried to get one for spare some time ago but had no...

I was totally unaware of the term ‘bumps’. So I have learned something. I am someone with an above average interest in the correct use of the English language, grammar, spelling and punctuation etc and I believe most seniors are, so the fact that Karl seems familiar with drug vernacular says...

I seem to recall that Choice found that many cleaning products were little better than water for cleaning. Perhaps people have realised that water and a bit of elbow grease will clean most things plus the use of vinegar or soap where needed .

I don’t remember the last time a tin of corn cost 85 cents. In my local Coles even when it is on special it is $1.20. And as for $4.47 chicken fillets ….. fantasy land.

I’ve been looking for it for several weeks now but no luck so if it is still available I’d love to know where.

I for one do not like the new small print ticketing system at Woolies because the price tickets are way too small for this member of the aging population to comfortably read easily. I much preferred the old large print specials tickets. It was much easier to see the specials to help me shop...

Please please please proof read what you’ve written before you post.I counted at least 12 mistakes in this recipe. Do you really want us to use a half cooked chicken in this soup? Surely, it would be very difficult to shred half cooked chicken.

My advice to the young couple would be to have another wedding so that every year they can remember their friends on that awful date and then have a happy anniversary on their new wedding date. They should not be denied the happiness of a wedding anniversary like everyone else.

The cost of the power to whip the cream into butter would add significantly to the cost. Though the marble in a jar of cream shaking trick would give you a little workout for the day.

How magnanimous of IGA, Coles and Woolworths to drop their prices because of the high cost of living. Absolute rubbish. In my humble opinion it only shows that the prices were too high to begin with. I know that when I see prices go up a lot I just refuse to buy those products. Perhaps the...

MP Lane obviously does not know much about child growth and development . I can tell you that children are not very good at learning after lunch. This has prompted many schools to alter their schedules to a later lunchtime to maximise learning time. And just who is going to administer this extra...

I learned more than fifty years ago that eating parsley after garlic was beneficial. This knowledge is not new. My dad told me and at that time he worked with a number of Italians so perhaps the Italians have always known .
