Wasn't it Nostradamus who prophesied the end of the world in 2012? Do we simply believe what he says in the hope that he might have e.g. 50% change of getting his prophecies right. I note that even the member who wrote about the prophecies of the blind woman from the Balkans uses words like...

"it's often the small habits that can make a significant difference", how true that is. Our joint fuel cost for two cars is $75 a fortnight. I use a petrol app, do all of our shopping on one day and plan my shopping route to fit in with the petrol station. Effectively, I drive in a round...

I think there is far more going on, in relation to the outage and the hack, than we have been told. My latest bill had 3 separate items on it, all dated 31.12.23 There were 89 SMS, another 4 and 10 International ones. I scrutinize my bills if there is anything being charged for in addition to...

The glass is half full! Aldi didn't start charging like a wounded bull, at the same time as the other big two did. Eventually, they had to increase their prices. I pay attention to their extra specials, in food lines, and buy a few if they have a long life span. I know not everyone can buy in...

I visited Bunnings yesterday and was gobsmacked to find that Christmas stock was on their shelves super early. It didn't please me but, in the end, I had to buy what I wanted as stocks of some lines always run out quickly. I found that there were a number of highly priced items e.g. the...

I am wondering if the rebate is only for electricity or can it be used for gas bills? Our heating, including water and cooking are all run on gas.

This story is not new to me, having worked in the employment sector for over 15 years. There is a significant chunk of unemployed individuals who use all sorts of excuses NOT to take up a job...any job. In the office, our consultants used to share with each other any new excuse to add to the...

I would have expected little more of Celtic supporters, they are almost exclusively staunch Catholics and Charles vowed to uphold Protestantism at his coronation. Prior to the death off Charles I, it didn't matter which side you were in, you were done for if the King/Queen of the day was of the...

I am a details oriented person by nature and I have noted for quite some time the large percentage of items in supermarket catalogues are non essential foods. Also, many of the food lines are full of sugar/sodium and are prepackaged. The 1/2 price products are more often than not...

Cash should always be available for transactions. Can you imagine how many fees we will be charged for every small transaction...and there are many that are necessary. If you forget something for a recipe e.g. an avocado, as was required last night, there is no way a retailer or bank is going...

Woolworths has been taking advantage of customers for quite some time now. Since COVID hit a lot of products that used to bein their catalogues for half price have now either been taken off the specials list altogether OR have been cut back to e.g. 20% off the RRP. Staple items like toilet...

I cannot understand how Baldwin could be held responsible for the accident. When any of us works along side other team members, in any industry, it is reasonable and only right that each person is expected to practice workplace safety e.g. it is not a worker's place to check scaffolding has...

I have a replacement Dyson stick vacuum which I bought recently and the old one is still functional after 5 years, so I use it in the shed. The newer one simply operates for a longer period and is quieter. I thought I would give the Aldi version a go but I gave it away after a few uses as the...
