Great. Now I just have to hope they get stocks of Bar Keepers Friend in at a Bunnings near me. Have been trying to buy some for about 4 months and nobody has it.

Sweet potato, potato, broccoli, carrot, cabbage, peas, cauliflower, beetroot. Anything stirfried In addition I love salads. looks like I’m doing OK.

I avoid self serve like the plague. Being in a mobility scooter I find them almost impossible to handle and I don’t use card. I find it much more convenient to be able to go through the normal checkout. I always pay by cash too and frequently have to go into the local Supermarket to grab the...

I always carry a small container of stainless steel ”straws” in my bag. Hate the feel of the paper ones on my lips - akin to nails on a blackboard. Plastics being used for carrying bags - why? There are lots of ladies busy making and selling cotton shopping bags for charity. These are a much...

For a large sum, I probably concur, but these days $2000 cannot be called a large sum.

Biggest con on earth. Where we are we are experiencing a very (not abnormally) cold winter. We have had virtually no hot summers for a number of years. Odd hot days tend to hit hard because we are not used to them. Australia is not “contributing” to global warming. The Barrier Reef is very...

Yes. There was an ad some years ago for a small folding mobility scooter. Very cheap. Walmart, saying it was a promotion. (so therefore probably coming from China). I ordered it. Some weeks later I received a scarf. Not even a nice one. My point in bringing this up now, it to warn others...

I am in my 80s, but as a youngster I remember walking past barbers shops with huge window displays of condoms. They, to me, were just another item on display in windows. Are we such a different breed these days that seeing an everyday item for sale is so upsetting? What about walking around...

This afternoon, a friend, organising an e-tag got a note from Eastlink saying her account was overdue. When she opened the link she found it was a scam. This was in Victoria. Be careful.

When I was a kid it was commonplace to hang washing on a clothes horse and stand it in front of the fireplace. Some were an open fire with a chimney which could conceivably take the dampness up with the smoke. Others were the box type that are still popular today. Mould didn’t appear to be a...

The Coles deal sounds great. As for the people buying Costco - apart from having the pay to be a member - our nearest is 3 1/2 hours away. Think anything bought there would be out of date by the time I got home.

I will certainly support anyone taking over from him. Sorry, but I just don’t like his self-promotion style. Wish it was full time.

I am 81. Just looking at that number, I can hardly believe it. My mind and attitude are not old, or elderly. My body let me down and I use a mobility scooter, but to me it’s a go machine. My friends are now mostly 10 years younger than me and the rest have gone. As someone else mentioned, I...

Living in a small country town we all collect our mail from the local post office, every day. The gentleman who runs it knows everyone. Another giveaway is when I receive that sort of notification at midnight, which happens surprisingly frequently. Yeah, sure, the post office works at that time

It sounds like a great idea. Very much like the dryers our forebears used 100+ years ago, albeit with electrical help. I use one of the latter in my laundry. Made by my husband some 20 years ago for a cost of about $20. If necessary I put a fan in the room.

Living in a small country town where we all pick up our mail, daily, from the post office I am always immediately suspicious of these. In addition, my last one arrived at 11.50 PM. So, yeah, sure, the post office is working at that time.
