    One hundred million what? Shoppers confused over supermarket's unexpected prize pool

    I only knew what it was as my 6-year-old granddaughter likes Roblox games strictly under parental supervision and she has a time limit for screen time. As computers, internet and mobiles are all part of our world we can't just put our head in the sand about it. But as an individual you don't...

    What was your go-to game as a kid?

    Its so true that a lot of our favourite games were outdoors and active. I can relate to a lot of the games other members have written about. I think the best thing was we didn't have a lot of expensive toys but we had so much fun. My brother and I also collected Matchbox cars and had quite a...

    Pizza Hut

    We loved the Pizza Hut restaurants - always a good place to take children for a meal and Mum and Dad could have a glass of wine too.

    Apart from looking after my 6 year old brother after school and in school holidays (I was 13), my first real job was working in the mail room at a firm in Sydney who retailed car and truck spare parts. I also had to catch the bus into the city and deliver documents to offices such as the...

    Bank Books

    I think the bank book was a great visual record of your savings prior to the digital age. It was also the time of many bank tellers and lots more branches everywhere. Nowadays there are just two tellers at the local NAB branch and customers are intercepted to see why they are there and can...

    A rare glimpse into King Charles’ health journey–you won’t believe what he revealed

    Hi Mikeyboy - hoping you are recovering well and the future is looking brighter. It's a hell of a battle that tests the patient intensely. I found my family to be the most amazing support and even my little dog would not leave me and sat glued to me all the time during my recovery. Happy to...

    Family-run hardware shop

    When I was a child there were no large hardware chain stores like now. I can remember going in to our local store and Dad could purchase however many nails or screws he needed and not having to buy huge packets that he didn't really want.

    A receptionist dismissed my health concerns – but I was diagnosed with a terrifying illness. Learn the warning signs now!

    I totally agree with the member who said you know your own body and when something is not right. How often do we see Mums having to fight with doctors who insist there is nothing wrong with their child but later find something quite serious. I was diagnosed with a non Hodgkins lymphoma of the...

    ‘They’re already struggling’: New changes to aged care spark fear among families

    There are advocacy services (look under Aged Care) in the websites or directory. At present the changes to the aged care system are very vague but am expecting reduction in services/money for services and equipment. We have a marvellous cleaner who comes in weekly and assists me as I have back...

    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    As it often said politicians are completely out of touch to the real cost of living on a low income be it wages or pensions. They don't have to worry if they will have enough money for mortgage payments or rent, food medicine, petrol or fares etc. They only look at the total cost of an...

    General Discussion Thread 18.04.2025 🐰

    About 30 years ago we went camping in a National Park site in Sydney where you had to get there by boat or ferry. It was a lovely Easter apart from the constant rain and being freezing cold. Our two man tent was pretty basic and kept most of the rain out. We decided to have a barbeque and our...

    Cassette Tapes

    Not the first cassette recorder/player we ever had but when we got engaged I gave my husband a Sony Walkman which used cassette tapes and some how he didn't have the usual problems with it.
