At Christmas my dad would tie forks and spoons on strings to the handle on our bedroom door so that if we tried to get up early and rush to open our presents he would hear and order us back to bed till a suitable time when he and mum would let us out so that they didn’t miss out on seeing our...

To compensate some , who can provide receipts , and not others is discriminatory. Is my despair at being unable to contact an ambulance or emergency service not worth anything?

It would be more considerate if recipe submitters would adjust their American recipes to to show Australian ingredients to better suit this Australian audience.

The man is obviously not a reader. If he has lived this long he mustn’t have done much reading not to have encountered the word fortnight in any books before.

This recipe is similar to one of my favourite winter desserts from the Esk Valley (Tasmania) CWA cookbook. If you put a crumble mix on top of the pudding and bake it then you have a really Australian dessert.

As a child I couldn’t use any bath soap as it would aggravate excema. The only soap I could use was Sunlight laundry soap and still do.

Having done playground duty for over 35 years I have observed a lot and learned a lot about how children play with balls. Young boys tend to see any kind of barrier like a roof or a fence as some kind of goal post, something to get over. They don’t think about how to retrieve a ball until it...

I think lending one’s name to anything has any real value and I include all so called influencers in this . A person can recommend something and then it is up to a sensible person to make up their own mind on the subject. Anyone who pays any attention to influencers has to be a fool, in my...

Woolworths don’t always give you the points you accumulate buying those booster items on their rewards. I started checking how many points were added on my weekly shop and found that I had been short changed by hundreds of points several weeks in a row. I rang about it and was told it would be...

You can’t beat the Esk Valley cookbook. I was given one many many years ago and love so many recipes in it ,so much so that if ever there was a fire it is one of the first things I would grab along with the photo albums before running. I tried to get one for spare some time ago but had no...

I was totally unaware of the term ‘bumps’. So I have learned something. I am someone with an above average interest in the correct use of the English language, grammar, spelling and punctuation etc and I believe most seniors are, so the fact that Karl seems familiar with drug vernacular says...

I seem to recall that Choice found that many cleaning products were little better than water for cleaning. Perhaps people have realised that water and a bit of elbow grease will clean most things plus the use of vinegar or soap where needed .

I don’t remember the last time a tin of corn cost 85 cents. In my local Coles even when it is on special it is $1.20. And as for $4.47 chicken fillets ….. fantasy land.

I’ve been looking for it for several weeks now but no luck so if it is still available I’d love to know where.

I for one do not like the new small print ticketing system at Woolies because the price tickets are way too small for this member of the aging population to comfortably read easily. I much preferred the old large print specials tickets. It was much easier to see the specials to help me shop...
