    Favourite tech gadget puts users at risk in shocking recall over burn and death fears

    We only ever buy recommended chargers for our iPads, iPhones & MacBook. Our boy would have a mini melt down if he saw us using a non Apple product, besides with Teds technical background, he knows better, so I’ve been trained.

    Major Aussie bank cuts 1,500 jobs, pushes cashless future

    I feel very sad for the workers who are going to be out of work, how much profit do Westpac actually want! I feel for people in regional Australia who don’t have the choices that we city dwellers have. I do have a Westpac card, which I’ll keep, as it’s our backup card in case our others are...

    Third major price hike drives customers away, time to switch providers

    I’m about to change my mobile to pre-paid with another provider. My husband changed his last year & hasn’t had any problems so I’m doing the same. Our boy worked it all out for us, so that our needs are met & we only have to pay an annual amount. I couldnt cope if I had to do it every month. I...

    This was my son’s first computer, which we bought him when he was 9. All his friends thought it was amazing.

    Coles and Woolies pay hidden $6 million cost, ALDI stays out

    Music in stores doesn’t worry me unless it’s too loud. It certainly doesn’t encourage me to spend more, I’m armed with my list & can’t wait to get out again.

    Safety advocate shares massive road crisis costing billions every year

    Good for you Clancieblue. We instructed our son the same way as well as impressing on him the fact that having a drivers license is a privilege, not a right. We’ve been tailgated by quite a few middle aged people, so I agree that it’s not always P platers. Though I don’t think I’d enjoy...
