I’ve seen there is a place that, I assume your ashes, become a tree. I think it might be somewhere near Mornington. I have the details filed away. That’s what I’ve told my family I want to happen. No expensive coffin, no fuss and ceremony, just remember happy times as they plant me lol

Why does it have to be for ten years? I won’t be renewing my passport as I don’t intend to go overseas but if I suddenly needed to go, ie family illness, I would like the opportunity to maybe have a two or five year option. As it stands I’m not paying over $400 for it to sit on the drawer for...

I might have a bit of a whinge but 20cents won’t stop me having a flutter lol

It’s so wrong to leave them high and dry. If it’s not viable for them they could at least open two or three days a week with the post office as back up. They don’t care how their decisions upset peoples lives. I’m so surprised at the Bendigo Bank, being a community bank I thought they might have...

So she’s not a natural beauty?? Lol

I kept all my records, LPs and singles. I know some are worth money but I just can’t part with them. I dont think my boys will be quite so attached to them when I’ve gone but that’s ok lol

Manic Monday is one of my karaoke go to songs. I loved the Bangles

We gave heaps of video tapes and dvds to the op shop when we moved. I wish we had taken more notice of what we had now lol. A lot of op shops were refusing tapes and dvds a while ago, maybe they’ve had a change of heart.

Yarra ranges council would have to be one of the worst. I’m glad we moved out of the area

I went in KMart in Eastland, Victoria a couple of months back and they had moved the checkouts to the front of the store, it makes so much more sense

If you are an honest person then any measures they take to stop thieves shouldn’t matter. I just go about my business, there can be endless cameras and bag checks and I will go along with it. I have nothing to hide so I will never complain about not being trusted. The stores don’t know me and...

We sort of downsized. More the size of the garden than the house. There are just the two of us and we have three bedrooms but we have a regular stream of visitors - my friend calls it the B&B lol. We moved to Regional Victoria, away from family and friends so you can’t expect people to get a...

I’ve been saying they should build prefab houses for years. I remember near where I lived as a child there were prefab houses, built as temporary accommodation after the war but were still going strong many years later. People had them looking lovely. Being able to build them so quickly would...

I use my card and on line banking for just about everything but I still think we need the cash option. I pay the kids next door a dollar a week to put out and take in the bins. They put their dollars in their money boxes - not the same when it’s in the bank. My husband needs cash for the raffles...

Your family history is so interesting. I love hearing about ancestors (mine just seem to be dirt poor who loved to drink and fight lol). We lived next door to a lovely old man not long after we bought our first house here. I was talking to him over the fence and he started telling me about his...

Thank you 🤗

My Dad wanted to come when I was a child but my Mum wouldn’t leave her Mum. My sister and family moved here in 1981. My Dad was always looking forward to visiting but unfortunately he died before making the trip, such a shame as the flights were booked and everything. Mum emigrated with us. I...

I tell people I was born in the wrong place. It felt like home here as soon as I got off the plane, and that was just on holiday! i cried all the way back to the UK and when I saw the sign at the airport “Welcome to Manchester” I said to my husband “I don’t want to be here”. We applied to...

I do t know of him but he sounds like a good man who many will miss RIP

We have lovely neighbours, next door and across the road. Others in the street are pleasent too but mostly people on our estate keep to themselves. Think it’s the way it is these days. People work long hours then they drive home straight into their garages and straight into the house. I walk my...
