    Would you pay $25 for a block of chocolate? This premium treat has everyone talking

    I think I’ll pass. It really doesn’t look very appealing, and even chocolate lover me, wouldn’t pay $25 for a block. Besides, I don’t like nuts in chocolate or even the flavour.

    What’s one household task you’re glad has changed over time?

    I really love my dishwasher and would hate to be without it, but I remember how irons used to be so heavy and without steam, so my steam iron is right up there, though I do avoid ironing anything these days. Anything that makes life easier is top of the list for me. For my husband, who...

    Why do doctors run late?

    Ted can always get an appointment with his Dr., even at the last minute. Unfortunately, he’s retiring at Christmas, so Ted’s worrying about who he’s going to choose as his new GP, of course I’m not overly sympathetic as mine retired 3 yrs. ago.

    Grey nomads beware: Police cracking down on overweight caravans with hefty fines

    Fortunately, it something my husband is very good at. Apparently, when he was learning to drive, his dad used to let him tow the trailer, and reverse around trees, when they were in the bush woodcutting. Some of our friends go caravaning, and they often talk about people’s abysmal attempts at...

    We tend to rely on recommendations from friends and neighbours, who have had work done, and been happy with the results. We recently had two new toilets installed, and our new plumber was amazing. He also fixed a couple of taps, and will be back next year to replace a few more that are a getting...

    Grey nomads beware: Police cracking down on overweight caravans with hefty fines

    Totally agree with you. I’ve not tried to reverse a trailer, but can only imagine where it would end up, and it wouldn’t be good.

    Sweet reunion: Beloved candies quietly return after mysterious months-long absence

    I’d have it all eaten before I even thought of going to the airport. I used to make them, seeing your recipe reminded me. My mum & older sister used to make a soft toffee that had condensed milk & maybe golden syrup in it, it was super delicious. I’ve got mums recipe book so must look for the...

    Storms of complaints are brewing as this weather service has become 'too difficult' for users

    Isn’t that the truth. Our local BOM often announce that they’ve updated their equipment for more accurate forecasts, but I really don’t know why they bother. It’s not often that the info is correct.
