    I received a threatening letter in my letterbox one day many years ago when I lived in Canberra. It was from my shift worker neighbour a street over from my backyard and right rear side. I did have a little dog but she spent 99% of her time in the house. Nothing came of it but it was pretty...

    Crafty mum turns IKEA cabinet into birdcage for her daughter’s budgie: “So cool!”

    Reading replies to this article reminded me of my first budgie, Hamish. I lived in a suburb of Wollongong NSW at the time. My boyfriend was Scottish. Hamish got sick with a cold diagnosed by a vet. I kept him warm by using an old lamp. We married later and moved to Canberra ACT. Where we had...

    Man behind the viral koala-in-a-shopping-trolley video reveals heartwarming animal rescue — here’s how the Aldi trolley helped him

    Too bad that the person who posted the TikTok video of this kind act, did not alert Aldi staff to this occurrence. Aldi staff may have checked the enclosed car park for anxious Koalas 🐨 Hopefully in the future if this happens again, if staff are alerted they can call an animal rescue/wires...

    Mum’s horrifying find inside the packaging of a child’s toy alerts Aldi officials — “We immediately took it off sale”

    The mother in the article was from Britain 🇬🇧 and that’s the reason why this doll is not available here in Australia 🇦🇺 yet. I did google about this and couldn’t find anything but the doll being available here. 😁

    Woolworths and Coles representatives warn: “Empty shelves may take weeks to be restocked”

    The only supermarket in Young NSW with meat was Donges Supa IGA. There’s an Aldi and a Woolies but no meat. People were coming to my towns IGA (in Harden NSW) for meat. Maybe also stocking up on products. I wish they wouldn’t because they may have Covid and spread it.

    I loved porridge as my family called it in Wollongong. But I developed a severe intolerance to it and some other foods. Good for diabetes which I have.

    Thousands of Aussies are swooning over Aldi’s $20 Christmas crackers — can you see the reason why?

    I love ALDIs special buys, but our local Aldi supermarket is around an hours drive there and back for me. Ever since there being Covid cases in that larger town, I don’t go there anymore. Not worth the risk. We had nearly 5,000 Covid cases on the 23/12/21, but don’t quote me my memory's not...

    “I’m not having McDonald’s again”: Macca’s employee reveals the truth about McDonald’s fries

    Xe, I’ve asked about that before. Fries were still a little salty. I guess they drop the fries in with the others. I have GORD, fatty foods can give me reflux. I also have a hiatus hernia which fatty foods upset that too. We don’t live near a maccas any more but if we travelled before Covid...
