    Is it wrong not to give away the wedding dress I won't wear?

    It was a lot of money and because of that, should not get bandied about like it doesn't matter. This is a very personal thing, and how you feel about it is 100% what matters most. I had my dress made and paid no more than $500. That doesn't mean it wasn't special. My decision to pass my wedding...

    You won't believe what an audience member yelled out that left this TV quiz show host stunned!

    I watch a few ABC programs, the latest being Ask The Midwife (my fave) and most recently, the spelling Bee with Montgomery. I like the occasional pearls the Auntie offers.

    Will this Kmart find 'make life so much easier' for you? Here's what shoppers have to say!

    If I tried a vacuum on my little Bonnie & Clyde, they would pack their little dog suitcases and run away from home. They love their regular doggy salon visits but, at home draw the line at me washing poop off their bottoms. Any more than that, I would be considered a bad mummy. Before anyone...

    ASIC targets comparison sites over misleading insurance claims

    I have used a comparison site once, some 10 years ago. After screening the first 20 calls from various insurers, I decided, never again, It's just a big suck in so they can get your details. Also, they were no cheaper across the board. Now, I go directly to insurers websites to do comparison...

    TV icon dies aged 87; fans grieve untold stories resurface

    I did enjoy the series. Hot Lips was a big part of the fun. I would say a memorable turning point was when she married Donald. Hats off to a lovely lady who gave me many laughable moments.

    'It's what people want': Pet owners can now be with their furry pals forever in this surprising rule

    I have let it be known where I want my ashes scattered. When my pups go, they will also be cremated and scattered in the same place. This is a personal choice that need not involve further discussion.

    May Competition: Childhood Memories – share your story and you could win $100!

    I used to spend a lot of time in the bush. We lived on a dead end road with a reserve right over the fence. There was a lot of nasty stuff going on in my home as I was growing up. I used to escape to the bush to get away from the violence. It was a sanctuary. We had the best cubby house any...

    The real reason this Aussie man has zero savings will make you rethink your own finances

    I grew up during the hippie years. This joker reminds me of a select few who lived their life without responsibility. Those were the days of make love not war, travel the country without a care in the world, frolic in the meadows and pick flowers to make garlands for the hair, don't shower...

    ‘Ludicrous and unfair’: Older workers speak out on retirement age changes

    This business of working to a certain age has a lot of shady areas. Not everyone miraculously reaches a fine old age and remain fit enough to keep working long enough to top up the Government coffers. Cancer got my darling. Before that he suffered a life altering accident that resulted in a...

    I must be more of a genius than I thought. I dont own any heaters because the house is well insulated. There is air conditioning but I rarely turn it on. When I get cold, I put on a warm coat, or use a blanket. Therein is the genius factor. My late mother-in-law started a fire with an electric...
