    Shockingly High Grocery Prices Leave Single Mum-of-Three Astonished

    I was thinking the same thing. We buy multigrain Coles bread at @2.70. It used to be $2 a loaf and has creeped up to $2.70. In our house we buy a lot of cheap brands. I cut my own hair and Hubby's so that saves us heaps of $$$$ a year. We buy good toothpaste but wait till it's half price and buy...

    Beloved Actor Sam Neill Opens Up About Cancer Journey and Finding Joy in Living

    Love him as an actor. Wish him well. If you haven't seen it, go to SBS and watch The Hunt for the Wilderpeople movie. It's a great NZ movie. It comes on SBS regularly. We've watched it at least 4-5 times.

    I used to read Harry and Meghan stuff but stopped. You don't know what is right and what isn't. The thing I'd like to see - a paternity test on Harry. He looks an awful lot like one of the staff who worked for Princess Diana and was rumoured to have had an affair with. Spitting image. That, I...
