I find that most manual drivers are the ones who teach their kids to also drive a manual. My first driving lesson was in a '3 on the tree' 45 model Ford Prefect. These days I drive either my large auto or hubby's smaller one which is terrific, 9 gears and paddles for gear changes when necessary...

Road user tax shouldn't be tied to fuel consumption these days. Do electric vehicles not have tyres? Do they not contribute to wear and tear on the roads? Electric vehicles may be the go these days but they are not yet Auustralia proof. Even getting good old 98 is impossible in some of the towns...

Isn't Dyson just the best? Certainly out performs the cheap one I initially bought.

The only comment I disagree with is the one about the Vegemite. Fortunately Vegemite comes with a grooved lid and isn't suction sealed like jam jars. Everything else is workable with creative (and sometimes expensive) solutions. The light stick vacuum is a wonder, it saves using the heavy one as...

It should be listed with honey, as something that will never 'go off'!

Quite literally in some cases.

Just ask anyone living in the Shoalhaven about the roads. You will certainly 'get an ear-full'!

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

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

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...

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...

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. Fortunately I live in an area where I know that the only businesses that deliver...

Fined and educated. Maybe even introduced to victims.

I gave up on Aldi when quietly and without fanfare, their promise of a set percentage of Australian products, disappeared. Now age has entered the picture. 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...

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.

Speak up, contact your local member, make waves. The loudest usually get attention first. It's not just yourself that you are advocating for. Stay strong.

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...

Because our government can't enforce penalties against overseas, unidentified criminals or the platforms they operate on.

What a kind person. I have simply been donating my warm gear to a local charity and hoping it goes to someone in need.
