    Gas hot water systems to be phased out of Victorian homes under new energy reforms

    It’s amazing how things change. We were all electric in our last house and I had trouble finding a stove with an electric cook top when our old one needed replacing. Most had gas cooktops and I virtually had no choice other than the one we got. Unfortunately the old stoved packed up Christmas...

    Can your social media flexes land you in jail? Here's what one state has to say about it

    It’s a badge of honour for these morons. They love others to see the pain and misery they inflict on their victims. It gives them power, they don’t think the same as normal, decent human beings. They are the scum of the earth

    Can your social media flexes land you in jail? Here's what one state has to say about it

    The thing is to get an extra two years in jail, they have to put the offenders in jail in the first place but instead they keep bailing them. Apparently here in Victoria we have the toughest bail laws in Australia, so the Allen government tell us. And yet these little s#*ts are back on the...

    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...

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

    I’m really lucky as I have no problem with my parcels being delivered by really nice and helpful delivery people. But the other day I got a notification through an email and on the Australia post app to pick one up through a parcel locker. I’d never used one before but it was soooo easy. Plus I...

    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...

    Keep your vehicle organised with this $19.98 Bunnings find! See what you can fit into this product

    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...
