It may last a long time but how many of us can spare $15 on a bag instead of on food we go to buy. I have plenty of reusable bags which I simply leave in my car at all times. When I do online shopping I choose paper bag (since I only shop monthly) and it only costs me $2 and it doesn't matter...

I'm so thankful that my family are all healthy and enjoying life. I'm also thankful for the love I have for them and, I'm glad to say, they have for me as well. Also for the vets for keeping my dog Soxy as healthy as possible. Like me she has diabetes and I thought I was going to lose her but...

I've been trying to get the aged pension since April last year. Every time I send it in, they want more paperwork which I can't work out how to send on to them. Thought I'd just go in with everything and do it right there but was told I have to do it on line, print it out, make an appointment...

I wish I could get to a Woolworths store but not worth 400km round trip just to get a couple of lobsters. I wonder what ever happened to yabbies?

This is scary to hear. I wonder how long it has been going on for. I was able to put put in a complete water filtration system and the filters only need to be changed every six months. It covers all of the taps inside my home and the one's out the back. The only one not covered is for the front...

With the small amount of money my late husband left me I bought solar panels. Because of them my bill dropped by almost $200. I do as much as possible like run the dishwasher, do washing or listen to music during the day then at night it's just the couple of lights and the television.

It definitely won't be as entertaining or as enjoyable as only he could make it.

This would have been so helpful when I had it so bad. I couldn't walk from my bed to the toilet and back. I'd end up crawling and could only make it back halfway so my husband put a mattress on the floor so I had something to lie on until the pain eased enough for me to get back to bed. I had 3...

My Dad had a melanoma on his nose and had it safely removed. As for the cost of having that test done, the government should be paying for this instead of using the money for trips and for refurbishing or building new houses for themselves.

I live in a small rural town and we never used to have pigeons around but in the last 12months they have started to become a nuisance. I've noticed there are less native birds hanging around than there used to be as well.

I no longer work and have been living off my superannuation for the last four years because I haven't been able to get the aged pension, even though I'm 67. My late husband left me some money which has paid for things needing done around the house, paying rates, electricity etc and paying for...

I don't see how this is wrong when they are stepsiblings and not blood related. What if they had got together, had a baby then their respective parent decided to get married? Would that have been wrong?

I always get mine out and brush them and then I'll either soak them or run warm water on them, then it's just a quick shake and let them dry out. Usually do mine once a month

Unfortunately I couldn't do something like this but I was able to pay for a young couples ice-cream. It may not seem like much to a lot of people but I left that store with a happy heart knowing I'd put a smile on their faces.

We don't have a choice where I live, it's either online banking or post office branches. Unfortunately at the post office you need a card to use their banking facilities. My son walks 50km every year to raise money for cancer research in honour of his Dad. I have to pay it online because we live...

I don't believe it will make much of a difference to a lot of people who love to drive fast. They don't care about other people on the road, they just love the thrill or adrenaline rush they get. I don't understand why cars can be made to do such high speeds to start with.

Unfortunately, I sold someone a car but they never transferred it into their name even though I'd contacted the correct authority to let them know of the sale. A couple of weeks later I got issued a fine for speeding. Luckily their photo was taken at the time and I could prove it wasn't me. It's...

Why can't they just go out and work hard to earn money instead of stealing from the aged and innocent.

I always try to do click and collect but, if there's no window open for the times that suit me, then I go in and shop myself. It would cost a fortune to have it delivered since I live 2 hours from the closest store. The last couple of times I've missed the window so I've had to do my own shop...
