I recycle those little soy fish in pair... as earings...collect the various colour caps (yellow, red, green and even purple). Rinse, dry them and then put some glue inside that dry clear with some glitter... kids / teenagers love them.... OK only a minute proportion of those end up like that...

Yes it is a bit like changing banks....I did once change energy provider and within a year was back to square one. Usually they ensure that their "offers"are so muddled because everything a special case that in the end you are not better off ;)

Am I the only one that rest her soap bar on an upturned nail brush ?(yes to avoid the soggy/stuck soap and the brush is already "soaped" ready to use). Or is it a French habit? ;)

She is lucky. Once I spent 2 hours triming a row of lovely red salvia expecting a flush of blooms in spring. New lawnmower bloke decided to be helpful and take out all the socalled "dead stumps" and bin them, never to be seen again. Well that was his first and last job, and from thereon I told...

Have been shopping at Aldi since 2001 when they open their Bankstown Airport store (it was on my weekly way to somewhere ;)) and had no reason since to change my mind. In the beginning used to have to go to ColesWorths for some staples, but over the years less and less. I dont need to go past...

I tried IKEA and no I do not want to spend hours looking at something I have no intention to buy. A few years ago was with a friend, she asked why was I sprinting through the store... well I was not on a sightseeing tour, I knew the section I was interested in and going there::ROFLMAO:btw I...

nice to learn about the ANU dictionary, too bad that is when it is wiped out😢. I did not know Australia had a "real" dictionary, even if it lasted only a few years. Everyone talk about the "Macquarie" which I feel is only for school kids, good for this year, obsolete the next, (words in this...

but "c"still became universal thanks to the EU... you dont have to live in the EU to reap the benefit :ROFLMAO:

was recently advised by another senior to learn to text using my thumbs to "impress" the youngster set...my reply... I impress them no end already, getting lots of comments whenever I make a purchase... simple, NO card, NO phone...just a flip of the wrist and my WATCH does the job :ROFLMAO:

So I have to become interested in 1. sport, 2.AFL 3. Brisbane Lions to hear my Marseillaise, and only when they win:rolleyes: Sorry at 83 I will stick with the French Official version :ROFLMAO:

May be worth mention the Macquarie Island "eradication" program 1. eradicate rabbits: cats eat seabirds 2. eradicate cats: rats eat seabirds and rabbits are back human interference at it worst. Btw humans brought in cats, rabbits, rats etc.

It is a band aid solution to keep Armguard going until the "banks" are in a position to get rid of cash altogether and it will be sooner than a lot suspect. They are already getting rid of branches and ATMs.

I want to go back to real money, ie gold and silver coins, none of that plastic or worthless metal :ROFLMAO: . Arriving in Australia in1965 I was aghast to learn my husband had no choice but to get cash for his wages (fortunately I did not myself work for an Australian company so my wages were...

Even in the old days you always had to do that and usually it works well, but once we hired someone where nothing untowards was said, our worst hiring ever... they were so glad to get rid of him after 13years of trying desperately to fire him that the order was never to say the truth about him...

You still got the "C"connection thanks to them, and it will be the same for those car chargers eventually

I was made redundant. Organised an overseas trip starting the next day. On my return, my answering machine was full of messages more and more desperate asking for help (glad in those days that nobody had bothered to ask for my mobile no.). I must say I laughed my head off. Well I had...

How long will it take the EU to mandate "universal" chargers connections, and all new EV will be ok (well it happen with mobile and "C"connections (yes I know Apple was raving mad;)), and in the meantime how about an "adaptor" so as no to take automobilists to ransom :ROFLMAO:

Remember basically you are migrating to a new country, leaving everything behind and getting used to a new way of life and new rules, but at an age where most people are usually less flexible ;)

I arrived in Maroubra in 1965 on a Friday esrly May, lovely flat at the beach. On Saturday morning decided to go to the shopping center of the time (nothing like the picture) in desperate need for a blanket. Arriving around 11.45am all the shops were closing in front of us. Learned that nothing...

yes but sugar is seldom the first one, ie ...you get "brown sugar, "then "sugar" and or fructose, glucose etc and when you add the percentages that would put sugar first
