    These are the things they will remember. Not how many presents you give them, but how present you are.

    ONE THING....

    Funny you should say that. Recently a woman I know, showed me a similar set, in pink. My first thought was 'how do your 'pink bits' feel about them'? ...lol

    The I Dont Care Club

    I agree with most of this, with one exception. Sometimes my young granddaughter and I, have a 'girls day'. We do each others hair, paint each others nails, and sometimes watch videos like 'Legally Blonde' etc. Other times it's kicking a ball or discussing black v's pink and purple for fashion...

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

    Way back in 1969, in my first unit, I used to vacuum my long haired cat. She absolutely loved it. Not only did it make for a cleaner unit, it also made for a happier cat. Any vacuum, especially ones that can be shortened, like the old dust buster, will do the job. No need for another gadget to...

    ‘It really is that simple’: How a kind message scored a free treat on Uber Eats

    I'm all for kindness, but having food delivered by a third party gives me the shivers. Delivery drivers/riders don't have to have food handling experience, and are often under unrealistic delivery time constraints.

I don't move fast enough, or have enough hands, to unpack and repack my shopping at the checkout, all will digging out my purse. Then having...

    Report reveals hidden Telstra tax, adds nearly $1000 for premium users

    We have stuck with Telstra as we live in a rural area and our kids and grandkids are in rather more remote areas. No complaints what-so-ever, and hubby still works from home and is dependent on our conections. Maybe further down the track we might have to reassess the cost.

    'Insane and it's inequitable': Locals fume over sudden toll hikes

    The bridge was paid off just as the M5 was paid off. The promise that the tolls would end once the roads were paid off has been a lie, continued by successive governments of both persuasions. Now they just sell the rights, to build such roads, to private operators and wash their hands of any...

    Australians are splurging big this EOFY… but is it costing them a comfortable retirement?

    We've found the best time to upgrade most appliances ( and gadgets) at a bargain price, is when the next model is coming out and there's a rush to clear existing stock, to make room for the new.

    'It's best to wait': ATO reiterates warning about common tax mistakes

    The only time I ever put in an early tax return was 46 years ago. At the time I was working in the Centrepoint building in Sydney, for ( you guessed it) the ATO. I think it operated under a different name back then. My (16 year old ) tax return was dealt with by a lovely older man who was my...
