We only ever buy grown in Australia produce, & preferably Tasmanian grown. On the rare occasion that we purchase wine, it’s only ever from Tasmanian wineries, or when in WA it’s a bottle of something that’s produced there. I wish that Australia produced more reasonably priced, locally made...

I do hate having to pay so much for insurance but unfortunately, it’s hard to do without it. We’re with AAMI & have had no problems at all for the couple of claims that we’ve made. I think insurance for us more mature people should get cheaper as we age, as most of us don’t make as many trips...

I’m a bit like that in winter, even my bones ache. Our house is comfortably warm, it’s when I have to go somewhere. I can cope with the heat, mostly, but don’t appreciate Perth when it reaches 40plus degrees, but at least it’s usually low humidity over there. I wouldn’t cope in QLD. Or Sydney in...

That’s one of the reasons that I keep my subscription going, not that many people put death notices in the paper anymore, just us older ones.

It’s simple, if you are asked not to feed the dog & you ignore it, then it serves you right if your jacket gets polluted. Maybe the family will listen next time. No way would I replace his jacket. Enjoy a break from inconsiderate relatives for a while.

The problem is we can’t go back, it’s a case of moving on & doing the best we can. Besides, wages would‘nt have been as high as today, even the pension.

I’m not a Tom Cruise fan but if you don’t spend time communicating with your children then they won’t bother about you.

I haven’t watched Channel 10 since years ago when it was the only network screening a cricket series I wanted to watch. We watch our local news on ‘7 & a bit on ABC, but mainly stream stuff, so what ever happens on 10 wont bother me at all.

No point losing sleep over my bank balance because I’m the one that’s spent it all.

Sorry to hear about your daughter’s dog, it’s heartbreaking to lose a pet. Golden labs are just beautiful. I was amazed at the variety of illnesses that my friends last two dogs had, the vet bill’s & cost of medications were astonishing.

State politicians received the rise as well. It’s not set by the politicians but some obscure board who oversee such things. Now we poor Tasmanians have to endure another state election, we only had one last year! I’m totally over politicians, so pity help anyone stupid enough to knock on my door!

It’s annoying when you have to pay extra, especially with the payments we make to Bupa. We carry a small excess & the $50 co payment that the private hospital tacks on, but we have had very little in out of pocket payments. The surgeon, anaesthesiologist and whoever else were involved, have all...

Why does processing a Visa take so long? Fifty years is astonishing, what on earth are they doing?

I have a digital subscription to our local newspaper which I usually manage to read. It’s much cheaper than subscribing to home delivery, and, I don’t get messy newsprint on my hands, or cough because the ink smells strange!

My husband wouldn’t be here without the benefit of private health insurance, nor would he have had access to an amazing surgeon, who used to only operate in private hospitals. Regardless of premium increases we will continue to pay up. The benefits paid statements from Bupa have been rather...
