Because its cheap!

I have never had carpet and also got rid of rugs. However clean you are, carpets are dirty. Rugs are dangerous - I've known more than one person trip over them resulting in long-term health problems.

My daughter, aged nearly three, had a crying fit for no reason at our front gate one morning. It was so bad Mrs Smith down the road could hear it. Her son, on his way home from buying the paper, had witnessed what happened (nothing) to set her off. When I walked passed Mrs. Smith's house to...

I don't object to my tax dollars going to make a 90s+ person comfortable. Let her eat what she wants. My mother was 87 when she went into a nursing home. She was not obese but had diabetes, T2. I told the carers not to test her blood sugars any more and let her eat whatever she wanted and...

We had one in our shower, built in early 1980s. That house burnt down and when we rebuilt these were no longer available. I miss it everyday - was so easy to give feet a good scrub. Now I'm old and scrubbing the feet is difficult.

Is this a word? What does it mean?

The shopper appeared to be fully covered so what's the problem? When we first came to Australia (70 years ago) it was quite common for women to go "down the street" with curlers in their hair, wearing dressing gowns, cigarette in hand while pushing prams. At first my mother was shocked, but...

Same here. It would take days to take down all the pictures on the walls and put them back again.

I did similar, only used Savlon instead of toothpaste. Ugh. Even now, when the toothpaste tube is a different colour I still check the writing to make sure its toothpaste.

False economy for me as we don't like the taste of many of their products. Their cheese tastes o.k. but does not crisp up when cooked. However I do buy their stollen at Christmas. There is a cheaper green grocer in the same complex and i shop there - they sell mis-shapen fruit and often have...

My pet peeves are the use of 'I' when 'me' is correct and the use of 'may' when 'might' is meant. But, as my grandson keeps reminding me, English is a living language and changes all the time. He's right of course, but...

I preferred not to know the gender until the birth of my babies, but that is a personal choice. However I don't understand gender reveal parties and especially the publishing of these private matters on social media.

I prefer not to shop in Kmart since they put in the cattleyard system of queueing in the middle of the store and self serve. Much of the time our local Kmart does not man the registers. I used to shop in Kmart frequently, now I source the things I want elsewhere unless I'm in a hurry for an...

Our Council allows neighbours to build their garages on the fence line.

Sewing

Houses should be built with lots more power points and the points should be higher. These days practically everything needs charging and as people get older its more difficult to bend down to plug things in.

I am not wearing proper shoes at the moment as I have a swollen foot. Does this mean I shouldn't go shopping? Perhaps you could offer to do the shopping for me?

My daughter also had been followed around Kmart,, a few years back now. Whatever aisle she was looking in, there would be an announcement stating that a staff member was required in that aisle. This went on for several months until she stopped going there for a while. She was never accused of...

Our local Coles does not sell chicken at $24 each as far as I know, nor does it ever discount by so much. However, good luck to the shopper, I hope she continues to find great bargains, sounds like she needs them.
