    What High School Did You Go To

    I attended Woonona HS. Started first form in 1972, then in 5th form (1976), I left to travel Europe with my family for 6 months. I regret at times not returning but I was too embarrassed to have to repeat 5th form. Travelling with my parents and brothers was the most wonderful experience.

    BIG W and David Jones lead the charge against waste – But will the rest of the fashion industry follow?

    I wonder if they have also considered giving a percentage of excess fashion stock to charities such as Good 360. I know Big W do donate unsold merchandise to Good 360. It would go towards people affected by drought and floods and our members of the community that are struggling.

    If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

    There are way too many to choose just one. I would have an intimate dinner party with my late hubby, my parents and my two brothers. I would probably include my father inlaw too, so my hubby wouldn't feel outnumbered 😁 I would tell them all the things I never got a chance to say prior to...
