    Is this freezer staple gone forever? Aussie food lovers scramble for alternatives

    I began to buy frozen mash when my hubby came home from one of his hospital stays. He loved the stuff the hospital gave him, so begged me to find the same at the supermarket. Having tasted it, reluctantly at first, I was pleasantly surprised. Now I am on my own, the frozen mash is a good...

    'Am I in the wrong for not cooking 'fancier' meals—even if my partner keeps asking?'

    I am so angry at this bloke on behalf of his hard working "partner in life". My guess would be that he doesn't contribute to any housework or care of the kids. He seems like that kind of bloke. No, it's not being unreasonable to dig the heels in. My only suggestion is to go off on a holiday and...

    ‘He always thought big’: Beauty mogul behind Estée Lauder has died at 92—his legacy still inspires

    I used to love this brand until I could no longer afford it. My thanks go to the family for the Estee Lauder legacy that shall remain for a long time. At 92, I'm sure Leonard saw it all, experienced much, and, had accomplished his goals. Time to rest.

    Australians cut spending...except on alcohol—does that sound familiar?

    It's like anything else. Some do ... some don't. I don't drink ... I am told alcohol is as expensive as liquid gold. Another reason to steer clear. I don't smoke ... and can only ask how people can afford the habit. I don't gamble ... the revenue is an addiction for the Government. I do have a...

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

    Next they will have a party in celebration of the umbilical cord being cut. Such rubbish. Being a grandma is wonderful. I don't need that to be celebrated...it just is.

    Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs – Part 2/3

    Interesting read that will be of absolutely no use to me in the future. However, there are a lot of folk out there who have an obsession with anything to do with ancient Egypt. Might do to take a little home made dictionary on their next trip to Egypt.

    Thousands of Australians are receiving ECT without consent every year

    Well done you for sticking up for your friend. If it looks wrong, then it most likely is wrong. Someone has to advocate for people who are unable to fight for themselves. I have a very close friend who suffers with a severe mental impairment. He went for some time having to deal with...

    Is it wrong not to give away the wedding dress I won't wear?

    It was a lot of money and because of that, should not get bandied about like it doesn't matter. This is a very personal thing, and how you feel about it is 100% what matters most. I had my dress made and paid no more than $500. That doesn't mean it wasn't special. My decision to pass my wedding...

    You won't believe what an audience member yelled out that left this TV quiz show host stunned!

    I watch a few ABC programs, the latest being Ask The Midwife (my fave) and most recently, the spelling Bee with Montgomery. I like the occasional pearls the Auntie offers.

    Will this Kmart find 'make life so much easier' for you? Here's what shoppers have to say!

    If I tried a vacuum on my little Bonnie & Clyde, they would pack their little dog suitcases and run away from home. They love their regular doggy salon visits but, at home draw the line at me washing poop off their bottoms. Any more than that, I would be considered a bad mummy. Before anyone...

    ASIC targets comparison sites over misleading insurance claims

    I have used a comparison site once, some 10 years ago. After screening the first 20 calls from various insurers, I decided, never again, It's just a big suck in so they can get your details. Also, they were no cheaper across the board. Now, I go directly to insurers websites to do comparison...

    TV icon dies aged 87; fans grieve untold stories resurface

    I did enjoy the series. Hot Lips was a big part of the fun. I would say a memorable turning point was when she married Donald. Hats off to a lovely lady who gave me many laughable moments.

    'It's what people want': Pet owners can now be with their furry pals forever in this surprising rule

    I have let it be known where I want my ashes scattered. When my pups go, they will also be cremated and scattered in the same place. This is a personal choice that need not involve further discussion.
