    Are you making this common mistake that got me kicked out of my GP’s office in just 6 minutes?

    Our practice bulk bills and our dr takes as long as it takes with every appointment. Most times when I go he apologises for keeping me waiting, even if it’s only a few minutes. He is very thorough.

    Delivering next-level services: Australia Post rolls out new upgrades to serve Aussies better

    I agree, but i could be wrong but I recon the size of their idea of a standard birthday card is quite small so if you buy a ‘normal’ size in the card shop it’s too big for their slot. I buy a book of stamps so I don’t have to keep going in to the PO and I’ve been sending what I consider regular...

    We’re all trying to stay warm—but this cost one mum $1,200!

    The price of gas and electric is unbelievable! The only way we stay ahead is to pay more than the companies suggest each fortnight. We are on a payment plan and their computer says Gas should cost us $70 per fortnight and atm I pay $75. The electric is much cheaper at around $40 but I also pay...

    Is This Mum's Baby Bling Trendy or Tacky? Internet Divided Over Viral Post

    I’m not a fan of seeing babies with pierced ears but I guess it’s a mother’s choice. I prefer to let a child decide for themselves. My granddaughter had hers pierced at around three or four. She tolerated them for a couple of weeks then out they came. She’s now almost 15 and has never wanted to...

    I had something similar and it was great but I just gave up in it. My husband decided his golf clubs etc didn’t fit with that in the boot. For a while we played organiser tennis - I put it in the boot, he took it out again. He does it now with my shopping bags - I have them neatly in a shopping...

    Why Are More New Mums Skipping Baby Showers for This Surprising New Trend?

    It’s the first time I’ve heard of this. I guess it’s a nice gesture but a personal choice. I’m a person who likes to stay out of the limelight and I prefer to stay in the background so I’m sort of glad it wasn’t a thing when I first became a grandma lol.
