    This is the first time I’ve heard of water cremation. Not sure about it all. Maybe being relatively new the price and the actual process might improve I guess

    From pocket change to pricey: Soft drink costs hit new highs

    I drank coke for many years then Diet Coke for many more. Now I don’t drink soft drinks of any kind. Fizzy water is the closest I get. I can’t stand the taste of coke or Pepsi any more. They say your tastes change as you get older.

    GPs reveal why this hay fever season is worse than ever! Here is the simple step to shield yourself

    My hay fever improved when we moved areas. I still get the odd day where it flairs up, the Wattle irritates it, but where we used to live I had it from the wattle coming out to the end of November. If I go back to the old place it flairs up again, must be something in the air lol

    When your vacuum runs off on its own, chaos follows

    Mine locked its self in the bathroom. I could hear it banging and slamming around before I found it. It must have wandered in there and pushed the door shut behind its self. I didn’t have it for long, it couldn’t cope with the amount of hair my dog dropped - more trouble than it was worth...

    The checkout challenge? Customers fume over retail’s latest quirks

    I don’t feel the sensory stuff affects me, but I do the things suggested on the list. I have my lists, if I can’t find something I ask a staff member, I can’t see the point of wandering round looking - now that would stress me. I use click and collect and home deliveries for larger shops or if...

    ALDI shoppers are divided over tap-and-go fees—where do you stand?

    My card is a debit card, I haven’t used my credit card in years. I find it annoying that I’m charged as if I’m using a credit card when it’s my own money. I mostly use Apple Pay so it’s not like they have to wait or their money, it’s instant. I must check actually if Apple Pay is included in...

    Are you paying too much for breakfast? Outrage erupts over shocking cafe prices!

    I thought that was a reasonable price. If you eat out then expect to pay. I love going out for breakfast but these days it’s a special treat with the family. When I was working I did breakfast all the time with my workmates, now it’s just me and my husband we tend to do lunch or dinner.

    Locals stood tall against McDonald’s—and showed the power of community isn’t lost

    When we moved here from a small country town I was quite excited when I saw the maccas car delivering near by. My husband said “do you want Maccas delivered?” I said no, I hate it but if I wanted to I could have it delivered lol. We were at least 40 minutes from the closest outlet where we used...

    Fashion giant’s $25 million consumer law fine exposes shopping rights every Aussie should know

    I’m with you on TEMU. I did order a few things from Katie’s, Crossroads and Rivers, especially when Katie’s had their 7/8 length jeans, the length s perfect as full length for me - I’m sure I will be ok for them for many years to come lol

    The wait is over: Myer’s hottest item is back! Will you snag one before it’s sold out again?

    Not for me either but I’m betting TEMU will be selling similar soon, if not already lol

    ‘They’re everywhere’: An unexpected swarm terrorises Parliament staff and visitors

    I’d be taking long service leave or something if I worked in Canberra with my bird phobia. I’m a nervous wreck when the swallows start looking for somewhere to build their nests. I have a bird scarer under the car port. It worked a treat last year along with the reflective hanging things I have...

    Powerball and Lotto announce new price changes as costs rise for players

    If I won big I can guarantee I would give most of it away. I’d look after family and friends obviously but I have a plan in my head to help young families to buy their first home. I’ve thought about it for years, it might never work, even if I did win the money, but I’d love to be able to help...
