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

    Celebrate becoming a grandma but a party with presents is a bit much. One of my nieces was expecting to have two baby showers, which I thought was a bit much, but the second one, with almost 30 guests, had to be cancelled as she’s in hospital after a little scare. It’s not as if they can’t...

    ‘We are truly sorry for the devastating incident’: Qantas takes accountability for staff’s condition

    It must have been a sizeable gap for her to fall through or was it completely broken? I know that it happened, with devastating consequences, but I wondered if anyone knows how it happened yet?

    How to avoid getting your car stuck on snowy roads this winter

    Every time Tasmania has a cold, icy spell I always wonder how many totally unprepared people will decide to go bushwalking on some snowy mountain & need to be rescued. I haven’t been let down yet! If people don’t need rescuing then those who have got stuck in the snow or slid off the road, do. I...

    Good on the groom for standing up for his fiancee and what sort of people are the parents? Making jokes about someone’s weight is not funny, the bride should be able to enjoy her wedding without having to worry about what her new brother in law might say.

    Drivers frustrated by years of work on highway between Bunbury and Busselton

    What a cheek! What’s the world coming to when you can’t turn into your driveway without a detour. Love your idea of using hazard lights, think that’s what I’d do too.

    Why waiting until next year to redecorate might cost you more

    I don’t know about others but I wouldn’t make a major furniture purchase online. A bookshelf or stuff for a spare room maybe, but not something that I’m using everyday. I even have a favourite furniture store in Launceston & will spend ages trying out lounge chairs etc. until I’m totally...

When I was still a kid I can remember road construction taking years, we’d travel over the gravel for ages. There...

    I much prefer to dry washing outside on the line, but with Tasmania’s weather, it’s often not possible, so in cold, damp weather I run a load through of an evening, hang it on an airer, put in the airflow of our heat pump where it dries overnight. I half dry the towels on the airer & finish off...

    Resident-to-resident aggression is common in nursing homes. Here’s how we can improve residents’ safety

    I’ve heard this before, unfortunately. One of my neighbours worked in aged care, as a nurse, & left as there were too many workers from overseas being employed. They weren’t interested in exchanging notes at shift change & didn’t seem to care about the residents & I’m sure you’re familiar with...
