I was told by a friend that our local animal park will take old chickens from anyone who wants rid of them. I naively asked why they wanted a chicken display among all the crocs and wallabies, only to be told they are used to feed the crocs!! Wow!! I would have never thought of that, and I have...

I already commented about my loss of pension, but, of course, the next thing to happen was that my daily contribution to age care level 2 went up from around $3 to $12. That is $84 a week out of my non existent pension! Maybe it's time to give up the age care package!!

We just had our pension cancelled as Centrelink chose to revalue our investment properties which took us over the asset limit. But it makes no difference to our income. The rents coming in do not change, so unless we sell up and spend all the cash generated we are stuck with no income. Madness...

If it's not too busy I tend to sneak in the exit as it is less walking with my wheelie walker. But then I have...

It was a 30 minute drive to get to our newly opened shopping centre, complete with a supermarket and Suncorp Bank. But they pulled out so No bank for a while. Then came Bendigo Bank. so we switched our allegiance to them. Then they pulled out, and I don't even know where the nearest is. However...

We have already been hit with Centrelink cancelling our part pension as they have revalued our investment properties to exceed the limit (Just like that!) without a word from them till nearly a week later, when they informed us through My Gov. One of the properties was revalued up by 30%! We...
