When in doubt...don't!!!!
 
Members! It's (finally) time for another competition!

This month, we're looking for the best piece of advice you've ever received OR that you've given. Did your mum tell you to wash behind your ears or always eat your vegetables? Perhaps the advice was to be kind to strangers. We want to hear from you.

The top answer will win a $100 voucher to (your choice) of either Woolies, Coles, IGA or ALDI. We plan to run this competition until the end of October.

Happy writing! We can't wait to read all your wonderful advice!

Best advice I got while learning to drive was when driving around a bend in the road to favour whatever hand the bend was in the direction of. In other words, if the bend is veering right then favour your right hand and the opposite for a left hand bend.

My lovely Mum always used to say to me - don’t expect and you won’t get disappointed - and she was right.

With any planning, always ask yourself "What If" and always have a Plan B.

The best advice I ever received was “Never wait until you can afford a house, borrow as much as you can to buy the biggest and best”. Years later I understand why.

I worked in a building society many years ago when everyone had a passbook!! An eccentric older lady (who had lots of money!!) said “I want to give you something”. In anticipation I smiled giving my best attention………………
“Don’t try and keep up with the Jones’s - and she left!!!!!

When my first child was born, my father told me he would never interfere with my parenting but his advice was when disciplining children “mean what you say and say what you mean” never threaten something that you could not carry through but DO carry through with what you said you would.

I think best advice from my parents was:
Remember to think before you speak xx
 
As long as we are alive, we are always learning
 
My mum always told her children - invest your money in land - God isn't making any more!
 
My dad always told us kids, tread people how you want to be treated & respect your elders !
Pity that alot of kids are not taught this today 😕
