    Earn savings with this Woolworths Everyday Rewards trick - but is it worth it?

    Your Bucket List

    Just do it. the Ghan should be on my list. My mum always wanted to do that trip but thought it was too expensive and then it was too late as she suffered from dementia before she passed away. Now I have to talk my sister into doing it as a tribute to mum. I heard it’s great to do during a...

    We’ve decided if we have family travelling or we are travelling that we will have a code word or phrase if ever contact needs to be made from someone else’s phone or email. Not sure why we haven’t thought of this before

    These vintage baby names are shockingly making a comeback

    I understand using “traditional family” names as middle names even if they are old fashioned or a bit odd. Little kids at school aren’t going to tease you so much as they are unlikely to know your middle name. Having said that I have a grandson Alby whose name is actually Albert. My son and...

    What has happened to op shops? Have charity shops become greedy?

    Part of the problem with pricing is volunteers knowledge of items. You might get a cluey volunteer who knows brands who would price something high but if another volunteer who had no idea of brands processed the same item you would get a bargain. There are guidelines but it’s still up to the...

    What has happened to op shops? Have charity shops become greedy?

    The op shop I used to volunteer at had to have a paid manager or assistant manager whenever it opened (7 days a week). And then they started to get more and more people at admin/management level. Although, supposedly the money earnt at the shop didn’t pay wages other than those managers...
