I too am a traditionalist and love the spicy fruit buns best. I wish the gang had compared the normal buns instead of all the fancy ones.

I think it depends on the individual shop. The Salvos at Maroochydore is quite expensive, especially on furniture, but the one if Nambour is a lovely shop and quite reasonable. Neighbour's aid in Nambour is a lovely shop ( unfortunately decimated and currently stripped and closed due to the...

I love treasure hunting. We used to find wonderful ones in Melbourne when our daughters lived there. Sadly, they are not so prevalent on the Sunny Coast. However, I still love garage sales. We once bought a glass shower screen to replace a shower curtain for $1!! But the best buy I have ever...

Mum and dad met in 1944 when Dad was on leave for his mate's wedding. Uncle Stan was marrying my Mum's sister. Mum and Dad fell in love there and then, and were engaged 2 weeks later. Dad then returned to war. He came back a year later and they were married in January 1945. As rationing was in...

Absolutely! We have got 2 legs of lamb and our Christmas ham because of this rule. Both Coles and Woollies. If you spot an item wrongly marked, buy it at the checkout. Then go to the Service desk and tell them. They will refund your money and you get to keep the item. The last time, my husband...

I had always longed to experience the German Christmas markets. In 2003, my fairytale dream came true. We travelled from Dover, crossed on the ferry to Calais, then headed through Belgium to Rudesheim on the Rhine. We were thrilled to find that this quaint, historic town was surrounded on 3...

I love pumpkin and I love cinnamon so I will definitely try this one!! :)

So excited! I am going on a cruise for 9 nights in December. After the tumultuous year we have had, it will be the perfect time for a rest. Brisbane to Brisbane to Tasmania. We have sold 2 houses and move into our Happy Retirement Home on November 2nd. After living on our little farm in our 100...

Love Roy O!! Such an emotive voice!

I enter competiions. An unknown number could be someone telling me I have won a car or a trip to England. It is fairly easy to recognize scammers, so I am very cautious.

I also do not do financial dealings on my phone. I use my home computer to do Netbank. We live in dangerous times and there are very clever and unscrupulous criminals out there. It pays to be vigilant always!

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers I found this beautiful iris in Toowoomba just after the Carnival of Flowers last year. We didn't make it to Toowoomba on the Festival weekend, but was passing through about 2 weeks later. I begged my husband to drive past Queen's Park to see if the flowers were...

Congratulations @deni67 and @Mikev! :)

Another hilarious skit... Political Correctness..

I don't think he did lose it. The only explanation I can find, is when he emailed me the details, it was then that the scammers changed the numbers. I am still working out this mystery. Stay tuned.

I am so thankful for our Commonwealth bank in Nambour. I tried to pay a bill for $5000 to a builder for a retaining wall. I was given his bank details by our neighbour, who had already paid half of the cost. He also emailed me the invoice with the bank details. My netbank refused to pay it. I...
