I too have saved some of the old notes and coins but dont know what I will do with them. My idea was to have an old note etc for each of my four children.

Unfortunately I do NOT donate to anyone over the phone even if they say they are a possible respected charity because who knows if they are genuine.

Thank you to Alan it was a most enjoyable read and well-written. I have this overweight problem but my doctor can only offer a 5 visit per year spread over two health problems and I find that it is not workable so gave up. Maybe I should do as Alan has done. I have in the past tried several...

comparing the value of the dollar with the US it is not much more than they pay in the US. at the moment the exchange rate is around 62 cents.

This is getting monotonous. We have all been told about these scams not just in this group but in the news as well. Sorry but I have lost sympathy with these people who fall for these scams

I agree why did it take so long before Saskia found out what had happened? When our dogs have died we have had them cremated and still have their ashes in the container buried in our garden. We loved our garden and often say hello to their plaques.

I too have watched the Border security shows and they do not have such heavy fines. I find it disgusting that the foreign people coming into Australia are bringing in case loads of food and other products. They should be made to make a declaration Before boarding

NO there are two stories to this stupid idea of free food. I complained to Coles about this due to some "darling " just dropping a piece of Banana on the floor on which I slipped. I could not see the piece as it was just around the end of an aisle. Luckily for me no major damage was done / Had...

We have travelled long distances world cruises etc until Covid came. At that time we were booked on a 77 day cruise that was cancelled. I had made the bookings myself. Princess Cruises offered two different options and we received a full refund but they also offered an extra amount to be used...

I too am from WA and we pay the levy with our rates. We also pay with our rates etc GST AND stamp duty. When GST was brought in it was supposed to do away with stamp duty but no our state kept the levy plus the GST. We also do not live in a fire zone or flood area so we are contributing to the...

My husband and I have done a number of cruises and only once have I had to consult the doctor onboard. Yes the cost is high but we always take out travel insurance, we have heard people coughing while waiting to board the ships. Most times we have been boarding we are asked do we have any colds...

I was told you could not take bottles over 100 ml on board a plane has this changed? Not worried about the lack of food as from Perth it is only around 4 hours to the east coast

I have always bought what was necessary no chocolates drinks etc etc unless it was for a special occasion. I grew up in the war years and remember the restrictions compared to today what is available today. At the time as a child I knew no different but now as I see what people seem to have that...

My sister lives in a country town and although she can still drive she has a lot of difficulty walking due to hip operations having gone wrong she is so grateful to people in her town as well as some shops for helping her put the groceries in her car. She lives alone too. It is wonderful what...

Just maybe the person buying these things is a Mentally disabled person who does not understand how these rogue companies can trick them into believing they are helping people like this. I don't mean this to be nasty of the lady concerned. But people are saying Why does she not realise the...

Because they don't care in most cases surely people could find alternatives. I make my own and have done so for years they are fabric or I have made a bag with flyscreen fabric and another with a type of shadecloth.

At least the bags were free back in the 70's not that I used them because I made my own

I agree Susanne I am the same. I have Covid and finding I am not thinking right

Just an addition to my story above... If parents would make some rules when out shopping life would be so much easier and enjoyable for them as well as other shoppers. I made it a rule when my first child was born that I would buy him a chocolate frog but it could not be eaten in the car and...

I am totally against this stupid and dangerous idea. WHy? Because a couple of years ago in Coles fortunately my husband was with me, I walked down the aisles and noticed a banana skin left on a shelf then I continued on and went around the end of the aisles, and unbeknown to me at the time was a...
