I can remember this book being the text book for domestic science and the recipes were simple but delicious. I used it for many years.

I was extremely lucky to win my mattress last year in a Seniors Discount Club competition. If you went to the Ergo Flex website they would have all the details. I found they were a very easy and professional to deal with and delivered on time. Hope you are able to get one and enjoy it. I...

Having slept on an Ergo Flex mattress now for 3 months I have nothing but praise for it. It is comfortable and supportive without being hard like other mattresses. It is memory foam but cool. There is no partner disturbance and I can certainly endorse how much better it is for my back pain...

They were like a uniform for all good housewives but they did protect their clothes as well and had to be quickly removed if the doctor or someone important was calling in to see you!

When we came to Australia from England I was 12 and we were amazed by the huge yummy hamburgers you could get and the best hot chips ever. I really loved the ones with pineapple and so began our love of Golden Circle beetroot and pineapple. The best thing about the burgers was their great...

You have a lovely home Suzanne. I also know you give us lots of great recipes - good sharp knives equal to the task make cooking so much easier. My Dad was a pastry cook/baker/confectioner and he always said the same.

We played on one painted all different colours- thought we were the bees knees. Some friends fell off now and then but lucky just to have some scrapes and bruises. People forget these were the playgrounds of our time and we couldn't have imagined what is around now.

We had one of these and thought it was great. The old toys seemed to need more physical input from the kids and this was no different. Footballs, tennis balls, skipping ropes, jacks, cricket sets - all kept us moving. And we had a lot of fun too!

Little toes are very sensitive. I broke mine moving house years ago when I was carrying a box and didn't see the house brick keeping the hall door open. Ouch!

I loved Billy don't be a hero - Paper Lace, The air that I breathe - The Hollies, Hooked on a feeling- Blue Swede. What a great decade of music - 70's.

My daughter and her husband lost their home with the mortgage crisis many people are facing. It's meant that she and the granddaughters have been living with us since January so she could keep working as a child care educator, her 19 month old could keep attending the same pre school and the 6...

That old saying "you're only as old as the woman you feel" maybe true!

Its sad that Rockmans is one of the group of fashion shops closing down but I just bought 2 lovely jumpers and 3 tops for $10 each. My budget too is tight so look out for genuine specials - they are around.

If as a diabetic and your leg was looking and feeling that bad in hindsight it would have been better to have gone to the hospital who could have assessed it and given you medication immediately. In my hospital career I have seen too many people become very ill by saying it will be ok and not...

How much consultation was done with carers, their clients and services? There is not a one size fits all approach as needs vary greatly. We carers are often looking after family and friends 24/7. When we get sick there is usually no one else to take over so you keep going and get a little bit...

Hi Suzanne there are many pretty spots around that area - I went to Mollymook (only a few km away) and had breakfast at an outdoor cafe looking over the harbour. The Golf Club there is right on the waters edge and the food is really good. I was only there for a day and a night visiting my...

Carers allowance is not a fully funded payment but some extra cash to help with various expenses. My husband and I joke that for a 24/7 job its really only a few cents an hour. Am I worth more - of course. Am I going to get what I am worth - no. Is life fair - no.

This is a disgusting situation where someone needs help and is desperate to find that help. You would think in Australia in 2024 that this would not be happening. How many years have successive governments known that the population is ageing and more assistance would be needed. Now they seem...

I have to say both our landlord and the managing real estate have both been brilliant - respond very quickly to any maintenance issues and we pay rent directly into a bank transfer. And yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus as for the past two Christmases our landlord has given us a week's free...

Barbara Taylor Bradford was a great author and her book titled "A Woman of Substance" was where my late mum discovered the novels and they were her favourite reading matter. Barbara brought a lot of enjoyment to so many around the world.
