Dad loved dried fruit, and every Father’s Day (without fail!) we’d buy him a large gift box of fruit. Then we’d sit at the table, waiting … waiting … for him to open it, and after teasing us with a long wait, he’d open it and share it with us all!

This Flame Tree (Poinciana) in Darwin looks so beautiful at the start of spring outside my school

You don’t own the verge outside your house, it’s council land. It’s also a strip pedestrians can walk along. I don’t like having to walk along the road while out taking a stroll to get around cars, caravans, boats …… We had a caravan for a while, we paid a friend to have it on his block for...

We were travelling on the ferry from South Island NZ (Picton) to North Island NZ (Wellington), many passengers aboard. We were amazed to see the number of couples occupying 4 seats (one person at either end, and hand luggage on the two seats in the middle). As a couple, we had to separate into...

We just go to Aldi for our favourites, will add a few of these products to our list and check them out. We like their frozen fish (NZ Ocean Royale Whiting Bites), best frozen crumbed fish we’ve ever had!

I admire her attitude and zest for life!

Interesting article! Before I relocated, I used to have coffee with a self-funded retiree, who spoke once of her Health Card from Centrelink. I had no idea what she was referring to, as she wasn’t on the Age Pension. Now I know, and I’ll be trotting into Centrelink once I turn 67.

Can’t really help you with Toluna. I am registered, I got to 25000 points, then stopped doing their surveys. I might drop back in, I think 30000 points gives me $10 at Bunnings. Like you, I use Flybuys/PureProfile, and also I mainly use Pure Profile (not attached to Flybuys) and PrimeOpinion and...

That is so cool that you won an Air Fryer! But it makes you wonder how many people would delete their winning email, when they have no idea they have entered. It’s good that you didn’t hit DELETE.

The heading is misleading “it takes 10 minutes a day”. I can honestly say you won’t make much money if you just complete surveys for 10 minutes a day.

Yep, exactly what I do, but I’d avoid paying $14 for bags and delivery

Great to hear! The $$’s do add up, and it’s worthwhile, particularly in these expensive times.

My Cornetts/IGA is connected to IGA software, so specials come up automatically at the till. One day I was buying 1/4 cabbage, just to make a small one-night coleslaw. The operator had about 3 goes to enter it (she said IGA instructions were to enter a whole cabbage, then fiddle on the till to...

Not good practice from IGA! My local IGA is a Cornetts, and they have their own specials on top of IGA specials. I rarely buy anything from my IGA unless it’s on special, and I’m happy to pay 1/2 Coles/Woolies price to enter a competition. Once products go back to “full price” I don’t buy them...

I’m just taking a look at PrimeOpinion now, to claim my $20. After I click “Claim Reward” I scroll down to “Gift Cards (81)” which shows 2 Gift Cards, then says “View 79 more gift cards”. From this list, I usually choose Coles, but there are heaps of options. I’m guessing you haven’t gone into...

I hear you! 24 years in the tropics, then a couple of years in the sub-tropics, no sign of snow or frost!
