We all loved skipping ropes and jump ropes at school. Another simple pastime but lots of fun.

I loved my Fuzzy Felt game and liked all the animals and people you could create. A farm was one of my favourites and of course you could take all the pieces off the board and make a new picture. My granddaughters have a set and still like playing with it so simple pleasures are still popular...

Uh oh Razzamatazz, Razzamatazz leg magic! How many jingles do we remember ? Incidentally they were great stockings.

As I don't have a car I have been doing a fortnightly online order at Woolies. I was gobsmacked on one delivery when I had full bags of items and 1 bag containing only 3 tomatoes! I'm sure they could have been tucked in with other vegies. I recycle the paper bags to my local OP shop who are...

My Mum was a great knitter and she had many patterns and lots of favourite ones. When I was a child it was cheaper to knit a jumper than go and buy one ready made.

I loved making mud pies and put them in a patty cake tin. I was quite disappointed when Mum wouldn't put them in the oven!

He always got his poor wife to do all the heavy jobs like unloading the truck and somehow no one objected! He was a very funny man.

My Mum made the best savoury mince with vegetables and Dad was a winner with the best roast dinner and lots of vegetables and York shire pudding if it was roast beef.

Your wedding or not should be what you the couple involved want it to be. Venue, costs, clothing, reception etc are all individual choices. A lavish wedding always brings out those who are a teeny bit jealous of the extravagance. Having gone to a few weddings over the years I can still say...

My daughter worked at McDonalds when she was in high school and she said staff were often coming in late or not turning up at all. This meant the remaining staff were run off their feet as teenagers are not keen on coming in on a Friday or Saturday night when they would rather go out. I do...
