The last 'fry' was done on Wednesday the 25th, my 60th birthday. So I had a double celebration. I also had two birthday parties. One with a bunch of girlfr...

The planner is a fee for service, that is, he receives no commissions from any products he recommends. He has charged a once off $3000 for the plan. He says that six monthly reviews are f...

Now that I'm a Pensioner I cannot afford to stay in expensive caravan parks any more... I am now forced to go free camping!

On Sat. night we visited friends who live 8 kms out of Kuranda for dinner. Had a great time but then we started home. I was driving as Keith had enjoyed a couple glasses of wine. FOG I wasn't prepared for it & it certainly made driving a bit scary. The lights on our poor little Suzuki didn't cope v...

A question to those of you that have purchased a new caravan or similar in recent times.

The below info came from a bank employee and is not a hoax. A friend of mine just tried it also and got $70 off their next bill and $25 off the next 7 bills. I assume it reverts to normal after that, I am waiting for a call back on mine so will see how I go. "If you have gas at home supplied by Alinta Gas,...
